    <abstract language="eng"><em>Usadha</em> is a traditional Balinese medicine system that has long been used in ancient medicine systems. However, so far there have been no reports on its safety. This study aims to examine the effect of polyherbal <em>Usadha</em> on hematology and blood biochemistry of Wistar rats. The study used a Completely Randomized Design with six treatments, namely polyherbal <em>Usadha</em> supplementation with doses of 0 mg/kg bw/day (E0), 100 mg/kg bw/day (E1), 200 mg/kg bw/day (E2), 300 mg/kg bw/day (E3), 400 mg/kg bw/day (E4), and 500 mg/kg bw/day (E5). The treatments were given for four weeks. The variables measured were complete hematology and blood biochemistry. Data were analyzed by One-Way ANOVA and continued with the Least Significant Difference test at a 95% confidence interval. Polyherbal <em>Usadha</em> appears to be safe for consumption without significant risk of side effects on blood parameters and liver function. Additional studies including histological analysis and mechanism of action will provide deeper insight into the therapeutic effects of polyherbal <em>Usadha</em>. In conclusion, polyherbal usada is relatively safe for liver and kidney function in Wistar rats. The results of this study support the safety of using Poliherbal <em>Usadha</em> as a candidate herbal medicine for long-term consumption.</abstract>
