The aim of this study is to prepare and formulate an herbal shampoo and evaluate its physiochemical properties for safety and efficacy which contain safe natural ingredients. Shampoo is a hair care product used for the removals of dirt, oils, skin particles, environmental pollutants and other foreign particle which build up in hair. The shampoo is enriched with herbal extract without any synthetic additives. The herbal extract used in formulations are Punica grantum (pomegranate), Curcuma longa (turmeric), Sapindus mukorossi (ritha), Datura metal (datura), Pisidium guajira (guava), Azadinachta indica (neem), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (shoe black plant), Citrus sinensis (orange), Zingiber officinale (ginger), Allium sativum (garlic), Allium cepa (onion), Cuminum cyminum (jeera). Herbal shampoo was prepared by simple mixing process. The herbal shampoo was tested for physicochemical properties. Some of methods are visual inspection, pH determination, solubility check, cleansing action, determination of percentage solid content, viscosity evaluation, dirt dispersion, foaming ability detergency ability and stability...

Despite its succulent fruit, Cucumis melo L. is a widely grown crop in many parts of the world. Developing consumer-favored cultivars requires an understanding of the genetic foundation of a plant’s qualitative and quantitative features. Cucumis melo L. is a delightful oval-shaped fruit that belongs to a particular cultivar group of muskmelons. It is the most exported and consumed fresh fruit and is consumed widely in many tropical nations. It has incredible nutritional value. It was evaluated how different organic solvents affected the phytochemical recovery from the fruits and seeds of the Cucumis melo L. plant. Its widespread cultivation is attributable to its adaptability to many soil types and climates. Because of its complex chemical makeup and pleasant taste, melons are a great source of biologically beneficial chemicals for humans. Melon contains glucose, fructose, vitamin A, thiamine, D, C, K, and E, as well as a few vitamins from group B. Aqueous or fresh extracts of the edible portion of melon fruit have long been employed as analgesics, purgatives,...

Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, presents a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. This study explores the potential of natural compounds in Psoriasis management. Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) demonstrate notable anti-inflammatory effects, targeting the underlying inflammation associated with Psoriasis. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) contains curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, offering promise in modulating the aberrant immune responses observed in Psoriasis. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) exhibit both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential benefits in reducing redness, scaling, and secondary infections. Santalum album (Sandalwood) provides a calming effect on the skin, while Calendula (Calendula officinalis) offers anti-inflammatory support, promoting skin healing in Psoriasis lesions. Allium sativum (Garlic) and Thai ginger (Zingiber officinale) contribute allicin and gingerol, respectively, known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions, complementing the management of Psoriasis symptoms. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) and Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon Grape) exhibit immunomodulatory properties, potentially regulating the immune responses underlying Psoriasis pathogenesis. Although these natural compounds show promise as adjunctive...

Background: Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. belonging to family Caesalpiniaceae, commonly known as ‘Kuberaksha’, is a large scandant shrub. The stem bark is useful as febrifuge, emmenagogue, anthelmintic, germicidal and anti-pyretic. Aim: The present study was conceived to standardize the stem bark of Caesalpinia bonduc to determine correct identity and purity of the drug have been undertaken besides in detection of adulteration. Materials and Methods: Pharmacognostical studies include (study of morphological characters), microscopical characters and powder microscopy and physicochemical parameters along with phytochemical, histochemical studies and fluorescence behavior were studied. Results: Transverse section of stem bark revealed the presence of outer most cork interspersed with stone cells, inner phelloderm cells with rhombic crystals and biseriate medullary rays. Tangential Longitudinal Section (T.L.S) revealed presence of uni to biseriate medullary rays, mostly biserate. Physicochemical standards showed that foreign organic matter (Nil), loss on drying (11.07%), total ash (5.45%), acid insoluble ash (0.45%), water soluble ash (1.45%), petroleum ether extractive (0.45%), chloroform (1.65%), ethanol (6.5% ), methanol (7.55%), water (11.65%). Preliminary phytochemical screening...

The Boswellia serrata word frankincense is derived from the Old French word frauk-encens and it means the true, authentic, pure, or “free lighting” incense. The specific name, serrata, comes from serra (a saw), referring to the toothed leaf margins. It belongs to family Burseraceae. This precious plant is mainly popular in dry mountainous regions of India, Northern Africa and Middle East. It mainly used as an herbal medicine for Brain damage, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint discomfort, bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled pads in the joints), and tendons swelling (tendonitis). Nowadays research also made that Boswellia serrata is used for cancer treatment as an anti-neoplastic agent. As it is used for breast cancer, pancreatic tumours etc. This review article provides information about phytotherapy by Boswellia serrata on cancer and its Pharmacognostic study in brief. Also have collective information about its essential chemical constituents like Boswellic acid, Pentacyclic triterpenes, β-boswellic acid, acetyl-β-boswellic acid, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid. Here we reviewed all Pharmacognostic properties like Morphology, Cultivation, Collection Harvesting Identification and...
