Development and evaluation of herbal churna: A natural approach to digestive wellness

The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a digestive Churna composed of traditional herbal ingredients, including Ajwain, Saunf, Ginger, Haritaki, Triphala, and Pippali. The formulation was assessed for its purity, safety, and efficacy in improving digestive health. Microbial analysis confirmed the absence of harmful contaminants, while heavy metal and toxicity studies ensured the product's safety. Acute toxicity evaluation in animal models revealed no adverse effects, establishing the churn’s non-toxic nature even at high doses. Quality control assessments demonstrated that the Churna met the required physicochemical standards, including appropriate moisture content, ash value, and particle size, ensuring good storage stability and bioavailability. Organoleptic evaluation indicated an acceptable taste, odour, texture, and appearance, enhancing its palatability for regular consumption. The overall results confirmed that the digestive Churna is a safe, effective, and stable herbal formulation, offering a natural approach to digestive wellness.
