        abstract = {Herbal medicines have gained significant attention due to their safety, efficacy, and minimal side effects in comparison with synthetic drugs. The present study was aimed at the formulation and evaluation of an herbal immunobooster tablet containing Ashwagandha, Tulsi, Aloe vera, and Turmeric by using the direct compression method. These herbal ingredients were selected based on their well-known immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. The powdered extracts of the selected herbs were blended with suitable excipients including binders, diluents, lubricants, and disintegrants to prepare tablets by direct compression technique. The prepared formulations were evaluated for pre-compression parameters such as angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s index, and Hausner’s ratio to determine the flow properties of the powder blend. Post-compression evaluation of tablets was carried out for parameters including hardness, thickness, friability, weight variation, disintegration time, and drug content uniformity. The formulated tablets showed acceptable physicochemical characteristics within pharmacopeial limits. The optimized formulation exhibited satisfactory hardness, low friability, uniform weight distribution, and appropriate disintegration time, indicating good mechanical strength and stability.
The study concluded that the direct compression method is a simple, economical, and effective technique for the preparation of herbal immunobooster tablets. The formulated polyherbal tablet may serve as a potential natural immune-enhancing dosage form for improving overall health and resistance against infections.},
