Abstract

We often see our hair as a reflection of our identity as it is considered as one of the biggest beauty asset of a human. Any Person would love to possess thick healthy hair. But due to their hectic lifestyle these days’ people suffer from hair loss, dandruff problems and premature graying of hair due to which their self-esteem is seriously affected. So there is a need to develop the standard procedure of preparation of herbal topical applications as they have faster and accurate results than oral administration of drug. The present era is the "Era of Technology and Information” so by using modern instrumental advances in manufacturing procedures we have tried to made herbal hair gel by Bhavprakashokta keshya dravyas. Ayurveda have many number of effective formulations and drugs for treating various diseases but problems of less shelf life is a major challenge. To use these formulations in this present era they require effective modifications into new dosage forms with more shelf life without compromising the underlying basic principles. Standardization describes all measures taken during manufacturing process and quality control leads to reproducible quality of particular product. Acharya Bhavamishra mentions various drugs as having keshya property, among those we have selected japa pushpa (Hibiscus rosasinensis Linn.), gunja beej (Abrus precatorius Linn.), nirgundi (Vitex negun-do Linn), bhringaraj (Eclipta alba Hassk) and saireyak (Barleria prionitis Linn) for preparing the herbal hair gel. We have documented two methods of extractions and standard manufacturing procedure of herbal hair gel.
