Formulation and Evaluation of Clove Macerated Honey Based Herbal Cough Syrup

Many people have common issues of coughing. There are two types of coughs: dry cough and wet cough. Syrup is a popular form of medication for cough and cold due to its ease of use for patients. Herbal syrup is the most preferred form of treatment for cough, as it offers benefits over synthetic syrups. Herbal cough syrup is made using ingredients such as Clove, Tulsi, Cinnamon, Honey, and pudina. This unique combination of herbs is highly effective in treating cough, as well as common cold, respiratory disorders, and nasal problems. In this study, four batches of honey-based herbal syrup were prepared with concentrations of 25%, 30%,35% and 40% w/v. The quality of the final herbal syrup was assessed based on pre-formulation and post-formulation parameters including density, viscosity, pH, and various organoleptic characteristics. The current market for herbal syrups is extensive, with a growing demand for natural and herbal remedies.
