Herbal remedies can help treat and prevent respiratory infections and other respiratory issues. These remedies can work by reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, or clearing mucus. Plant-based formulations are very cost-effective and have fewer adverse effects when used to treat ailments in herbal medicine. Considering these approach research study aimed as formulation and evaluation of herbal capsule from natural herbs used as respiratory stimulants. To cure the respiratory infection by herbs like Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Ocimum Sanctum, Eugenia caryophyllata, Zingiber officinalis and Trachyspermum ammi used for this study. To achieve this objective the poly herbal crude drus were extracted by using hydroalcohalic solvent taken in ratio of 70:30 (ethanol: distilled water). Wet granulation technique with a starch(8.5%w/w) slurry were used for granule preparation. The evaluation parameters such as organoleptic evaluation, powder microscopic analysis of the poly-herbal crude drugs material and physical property analysis such as bulk density, tapped density; compressibility index and angle of repose for the formulated capsules were done. Granules in a “light brown” colour habing bitter taste packed in “00” size yellow capsules. Each poly- herbal capsule was having 500mg. The formulated poly-herbal capsule shows 70.71% CDR in 30min.
