FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF POLYHERBAL COUGH SYRUP

Abstract

Cough is a common respiratory condition that may occur due to infections, allergies, environmental irritants, or chronic pulmonary disorders. Although it acts as a protective reflex to clear the airway, persistent cough can lead to discomfort, throat irritation, and sleep disturbance. Herbal medicines are increasingly preferred due to their safety, better patient compliance, and reduced adverse effects. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a non-alcoholic polyherbal cough syrup containing extracts of Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa, Ocimum sanctum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Syzygium aromaticum, Mentha piperita, and honey as a natural demulcent. The extracts were prepared using aqueous extraction and incorporated into syrup form. The prepared formulation was evaluated for organoleptic characteristics, pH, density, viscosity, preliminary phytochemical screening, and stability studies. The syrup exhibited brown color, characteristic aromatic odor, and sweet taste. The pH was found to be 5.4 ± 0.02, density 1.05 ± 0.02 g/ml, and viscosity 1.12 ± 0.03 cP. Stability studies conducted at 4°C, room temperature, and 40°C showed no significant changes in physical parameters. The results indicate that the developed polyherbal cough syrup is stable, acceptable, and suitable for managing both dry and productive cough.

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF HERBAL COUGH SYRUP OF GINGER AND CLOVE USING JUGGRE BASE

Abstract

The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal cough syrup using ginger and clove with jaggery as a base. Herbal ingredients such as tulsi, peppermint, fennel, cardamom, black pepper, and liquorice were incorporated for their therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antitussive, expectorant, and immune-enhancing effects. The syrup was prepared using the decoction method, and jaggery was used as a natural sweetener and preservative to improve palatability and shelf life. Three formulations (F1, F2, F3) were developed, and the optimized formulation (F3) was selected based on its viscosity and physicochemical properties. The prepared syrup was evaluated for organoleptic characteristics, pH, density, viscosity, and stability. Results indicated that the herbal cough syrup was brownish in color, sweet with an aromatic odor, and had a pH of 5.33 and viscosity of 1.202, demonstrating satisfactory physical and chemical properties. This study confirms that the developed herbal cough syrup is safe, effective, non-alcoholic, and potentially beneficial for relieving dry and wet cough, promoting easy breathing, and enhancing immunity without adverse effects associated with synthetic formulations.

REVIEW ARTICLE ON: FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF HERBAL LIP BALM

Abstract

Cosmeceutical are the products of cosmetic that are biologically active ingredients that impersonates to medical or drug like benefits. The design, quality, formulation of lip balm made from natural ingredients was studied. Lip balm is one of the most frequently used cosmetic items. Its primary purpose is to hydrate, soothe chapped lips, and protect them from drying out. In this study, lip balm has been made by using various ingredients like beetroot, almond oil, aloe Vera, vitamin E and rose essence. Homogenous mixing method was used to produce the lip balm. The formulation of lip balm was tested by applying it on a glass slide. Various Chemical-based lip balms, for example, have adverse effects and have a short-term hydrating effect. As a result, we develop a novel lip balm concept that not only contains herbal elements to decrease negative effects, but also maintains the moisturizing effect throughout time. The concept behind our product is along-lasting moisturizing herbal lip balm containing honey, hyaluronic acid, and SPF.
