ABSTRACT

Very booming now a day pandemic disease is COVID-19 worldwide caused more than 1.21 million deaths and may expecting more in coming days. COVID-19 caused by Novel CoV (Corona Virus)-2019 and mainly affects respiratory system. In Ministry of AYUSH guidelines suggested to take a ‘health drink as; herbal tea/ decoction (Kadha) made from Tulsi (Basil), Dalchini (Cinnamon), Kalimirch (Black pepper), Shunthi (Dry Ginger) and Munakka (Raisin) - once or twice a day. In current research work the immunity boosting rasayan kvatha and evaluation did. The various physiochemical parameter like pH, Specific gravity, viscosity etc determined for three sample preparation. AST study also carried out for all prepared preparation and stable formulation (F3) tested for antimicrobial study against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. The F3 formulation found to be stable and shows antimicrobial activity against tested pathogens.

Keywords: Immunity, Kvatha, Tulsi, Evaluation, Antimicrobial.

ABSTRACT

Monoterpenoids, being a valuable component of essential oils, constitute important groups of natural compounds. They contain two isoprenoid units in their structure. Monoterpenoids are the secondary metabolites of the plants and they do not exert primary function in the plants. Owing to their higher abundance in the plant kingdom, they find wide application in the perfumery industry, food, and health care products for human beings. Monoterpenoids either in direct form or modified form exert diverse pharmacological effects. The present review reports wide pharmacological activities of monoterpenoids like learning and memory enhancer, antidepressant, anxiolytic, antinociceptive, anticonvulsant, and neuroprotective indicating the promising potential of monoterpenoids to treat a wide range of complex diseases.
