HERBAL IMMUNOMODULATORS: FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF A TABLET CONTAINING INDIAN HERBS
AbstractThe quest for natural immunomodulators has led to the exploration of traditional Indian herbs, renowned for their immune-boosting properties. In this study the goal was to create and assess a polyherbal formulation that contained extracts of all herbs. A polyherbal tablet was formulated using a combination of Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia), Amla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn), and Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) in a specific ratio. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) is a plant that contains antioxidants. It also has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic properties. Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) contains antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, Immunomodulatory, anti-carcenogenic properties. Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry, has many properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective. The tablet’s physicochemical properties, such as hardness, friability, and disintegration time, were evaluated. The formulated tablet exhibited satisfactory physicochemical properties. The polyherbal tablet containing Giloy, Amla, and Tulsi demonstrated potent immunomodulatory activity, validating the traditional use of these herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. This formulation offers a promising natural adjunct to conventional immunotherapies, warranting further clinical investigation. Polyherbal formulations have emerged as a promising strategy to modulate immune responses, exhibiting potent immunostimulatory and immunoprotective effects.
