ABSTRACT

Migraine is a neurological disorder that causes intense headaches, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, and vomiting, significantly affecting the quality of life. Despite the availability of pharmacological treatments, there is growing interest in herbal remedies due to their minimal side effects and holistic benefits. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal capsule combining Amla (Emblica officinalis), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), all known for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. These herbs are traditionally used to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system,which may help alleviate migraine symptoms. The herbal capsule was prepared by incorporating standardized extracts of these plants, ensuring consistent potency. The evaluation of the capsules included tests for weight variation, disintegration time, moisture content, drug content uniformity, and stability. The results indicated that the formulated herbal capsules met the required quality standards and demonstrated promising potential in providing relief from migraines. This study suggests that the combination of these medicinal herbs could offer a safe and effective alternative for migraine management, warranting further clinical investigation.
