Abstract
Herbal Churna is a time-honored Ayurvedic formulation composed of finely powdered medicinal herbs and natural ingredients. It plays a significant role in traditional medicine, offering therapeutic solutions for a wide range of ailments, from digestive disorders to immune enhancement. Known for its versatility, herbal Churna can be consumed directly, mixed with other substances, or applied externally, making it a preferred choice in holistic healing practices.
The preparation involves careful selection, drying, and grinding of herbs to preserve their medicinal properties. The simplicity of its preparation and administration makes it accessible and affordable for individuals across socio-economic strata. Despite its ancient origins, herbal Churna remains relevant due to its effectiveness, minimal side effects, and adaptability.
However, challenges such as standardization, shelf-life limitations, and taste acceptance require modern scientific intervention. Recent advancements in phytochemistry and pharmacology have begun to validate the efficacy of various herbal churnas, bridging traditional wisdom with contemporary healthcare practices. These abstract highlights the potential of herbal churna as a sustainable, natural alternative to synthetic medications while emphasizing the need for further research and integration into global health systems.
In the last few years, the use of herbal drugs has increased all over the world due to their huge therapeutic effect and fewer adverse effects as compared to other medicines. The rising use of herbal drugs by humans is forcing the driving force to evaluate the health claims of these agents and to develop standards of quality, purity, safety, and efficacy of the drug. Mostly, herbal drugs are effective, but due to adulteration and lack of standardization, the effectiveness of the herbal drug is decreased. So, there is a need for development of standardization parameters. In the standardization of the herbal drug, the physical, chemical, biological, and analytical parameters are carried out. It assures the quality, purity, and safety of herbal drugs.
