Abstract

Infertility in women is a significant health concern, often resulting from hormonal imbalances, stress, or lifestyle-related factors. Herbal medicines have gained attention as complementary therapies due to their efficacy and minimal side effects. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal syrup containing standardized extracts of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), two prominent Ayurvedic herbs traditionally used to support female reproductive health. The syrup was formulated using appropriate sweetening agents, preservatives, and flavoring agents to ensure stability and palatability. The prepared formulation was subjected to various evaluation parameters, including organoleptic characteristics, pH, viscosity, specific gravity, microbial load, and stability testing. The results indicated that the syrup was stable, safe, and met standard physicochemical criteria. This herbal formulation has the potential to be developed as a supportive remedy for female infertility, offering a natural and holistic alternative to conventional treatments.
