        abstract = {Herbal powders have gained significant attention in modern phytopharmaceutical research due to their improved stability, ease of administration, rapid absorption, and wide therapeutic potential. The present project focuses on the formulation, preparation, and evaluation of a multi-herbal powder developed using traditionally known medicinal plants such as Zingiber officinale (Ginger), Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), Mentha piperita (Mint), Syzygium aromaticum (Clove), Adhatoda vasica (Vasaka), and Piper betle (Betel leaf). These ingredients are well documented for their anti-inflammatory, expectorant, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. The study aimed to standardize raw materials, design an optimized powder formulation, and evaluate essential parameters including organoleptic properties, particle size, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, moisture content, bulk density, flow properties, and stability. The combined herbal powder demonstrated significant potential for use as a natural remedy for cough relief, respiratory health improvement, and immune support. This project highlights the importance of traditional herbs in modern dosage forms and provides a scientific basis for developing safe, effective, and economical herbal powder formulations.},
