Abstract
This research article presents the formulation and evaluation of herbal cough lozenges using a combination of natural ingredients known for their medicinal properties. The ingredients include ginger, honey, clove, tulsi (holy basil), cinnamon, cardamom, saffron, turmeric, menthol, sugar, amla (Indian gooseberry), lemon juice, peppermint oil, fennel, and distilled water. Each ingredient was selected based on its traditional use in alleviating cough and throat irritation. The formulation process involved blending the ingredients to create a cohesive mixture, followed by shaping and drying to produce lozenges. The evaluation of the lozenges included physical characteristics such as weight uniformity, hardness, and disintegration time, as well as sensory attributes such as taste and aroma. Additionally, the efficacy of the herbal cough lozenges in providing relief from cough symptoms was assessed through a clinical trial. The results demonstrate the potential of these herbal cough lozenges as a natural and effective remedy for cough and throat irritation, offering a safer alternative to conventional cough medications.
