Dear Experts i would like to do a poly herbal formulation with 5 herbs. how to rationalise the quantity to be taken for each herb. Any guidelines? or reference? pertaining to Ayurveda
You can refer to Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia it has the reference to raw materials and their dose as well as formulations. Also volumes of Indian Herbal Pharmacopoeia are available for specific drugs
There are many guiding references in many classical Ayurveda books. One has to consider the properties /actions of individual herb as described in Ayurveda texts in view of the condition for which the products are to be developed, again this is to be validate searching clinical trials, up date research, ethno-botanical uses etc. It is not easy to design a precise product as many aspects of herbs are to be examined and verified, above is a general view.
