Abstract: The gift look at aimed at the method and evaluation of polyherbal lozenges incorporating Glycyrrhiza glabra (Mulethi), jaggery, Mentha (Pudina), Curcuma longa (Turmeric), and Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) for soothing throat infection and cough alleviation. The herbal substances were decided on primarily based on their traditional healing properties and formulated into lozenges the usage of fashionable procedures. Macroscopic assessment found out that the lozenges were orangish in coloration, sweet in taste, and had a easy texture with an oval shape. Physicochemical checks such as overall ash cost, moisture content material, swelling index, extractive values, TLC, and UV-absorbance had been achieved. The general ash fee became maximum in Glycyrrhiza glabra (four.5%), indicating its wealthy inorganic content material. All components exhibited nil swelling index, and the moisture content material of the lozenge became observed to be within ideal limits (five.21%). Extractive values confirmed high water solubility of foremost components. TLC evaluation showed the presence of comparable phytoconstituents inside the lozenges as in the natural drug, with Rf values of zero.914 and 0.941, respectively. UV-absorbance analysis further validated the presence and relative awareness of lively herbal additives. The consequences together suggest that the prepared polyherbal lozenges are pharmaceutically proper and preserve the phytochemical integrity of the individual herbal parts.
