Abstract:
The term "Medicinal Plants" is typically used to describe plants that have curative benefits or have beneficial pharmacological effects on animal bodies. Herbal tablets, derived from medicinal plants, have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat various ailments. With increasing interest in natural and alternative therapies, there is a need to scientifically evaluate their efficacy and safety. They contain active compounds extracted from various parts of plants, such as leaves, roots, flowers, and seeds, which have been traditionally used in medicine across different cultures. Calotropis gigantea Linn (Apocynaceae) is a well known plant for its antioxidant, anti-malarial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic activity. Herbal tablets represent a promising avenue in the realm of natural health products, balancing traditional wisdom with modern scientific approaches. This study aims to formulate and evaluate the herbal tablets made from Calotropis gigantea Linn leaf extract.
