Formulation and optimization of water soluble granules of Withania Somnifera
Abstract
Herbal medicines have great demand in the treatment of various kinds of illness. Ayurvedic system of medicine has consisted of many herbal sources in which ashwagandha one of them which are the very popular herbal sources. Many literature surveys suggest that ashwagandha is used as an immunomodulator, tranquilizer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and nootropic activity. Present research work explored the potential benefit of ashwagandha by designing suitable granules of its water extract. Further, it is characterized by various parameters and In-vitro drug release
