Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Peptic ulcers, often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, NSAIDs, or stress, result in gastric mucosal damage. While synthetic drugs are commonly used for treatment, they are frequently associated with adverse effects. This study aims to formulate and evaluate a polyherbal suspension composed of natural plant extracts with well-established gastroprotective and anti-ulcer properties. Selected herbs, including Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice), Triphala, Shankha Bhasma, honey, mint oil, and tea tree oil, were chosen based on their traditional usage and scientific evidence supporting their benefits for ulcer management. The formulation process involved the extraction and standardization of these herbal ingredients, followed by the development of a stable suspension. The final product was evaluated for its physical properties and stability. Results demonstrated that the formulated polyherbal suspension effectively protected the gastric mucosa, offering a safer and potentially more natural alternative for managing peptic ulcers.
