ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of human medicine and is referred to as Science of life. Due to the therapeutic advantages, affordability and lack of harmful effects, medicinal plants are highly preferred in treatment of various diseases and ailments and thus are subject of extensive study throughout the world. Thus, evaluation and standardization of herbal formulation is the most crucial part in assessing the quality of drugs prepared. The present study outlines the preparation and standardization of polyherbal formulation comprising of Adoxa moschatellina (AM), Alpinia galanga (AG) and Laurus nobilis (LN). The developed suspension was found to have adequate Organoleptic characteristics such as odour, taste, colour, moisture content, ash value as well as physical parameters such as particle size, pH, sedimentation rate, redispersibility of suspension, stability of suspension, rheology and viscosity of PHF thus concluding that the suspension formulated is safe and effective for use.
