Introduction: Dandruff is a commonly found hair problem affecting all age groups with high recurrence and is considered a social stigma. In Ayurved it is compared with Darunak falling under the category of kshudrarogadhikar and is caused due to the vitiation of vaat and kapha. Traditionally the treatment comprises of application of oil, steaming, applying packs, washing of hair etc. According to modern science dandruff is a non-treatable disease condition which is prevented by use of anti-dandruff shampoos, creams and hair masks. The available products are expensive and results are not very satisfactory and recurrence is common. Currently treatment available for dandruff is found to be expensive with unsatisfactory results in terms of recurrence of symptoms. Aim and objective: Pharmaceutical development, standardization and clinical evaluation of efficacy of a polyherbal Hair pack and Hair gel in dandruff control Materials and methods: Hair pack will be made with selected drugs like Amalki, Bibhitaki, Haritaki, Japa, Yashtimadhu, Musta, Brahmi and it will be converted into gel form. Analytical study for standardization of powder and gel dosage form will be done. Clinical evaluation of both dosage forms for efficacy will be done. Observations and results: Observation will be done on the basis of photographic evaluation of the condition of pre and post severity of symptoms and duration of recurrence time of dandruff will be noted. Results will be drawn on the basis of observations and applying suitable tests. It will be noted and presented in form of table, charts, graphs etc. Conclusion: Currently available treatment for dandruff does not provide complete remission of symptoms for long duration and it is very expensive too. Thus the newly designed herbal formulation is aimed to provide significant result in controlling dandruff and its associated symptoms and modified dosage i.e. gel will overcome the limitation of powder and provide a cost effective cosmetic product in controlling dandruff.

Honey is a natural product which was known to ancient seers of Ayurveda since Veda period. The nutritional and therapeutic benefits of honey were well known and also documented in authentic texts of Ayurveda. However the abundant availability of honey has gone decreasing since industrialization and deforestation. It has resulted in artificial culture and marketing of honey. The quality of such honey is matter of concern as it is easy to adulterate honey but is very hard to find out the difference between natural and adulterated honey. Considering this issue, present work has been planned to compare freshly collected natural honey and marketed samples of honey. For the comparative analytical study four different samples were collected. Three samples of three different pharmacies were procured from market (honey of branded Ayurvedic companies) and compared with collected honey sample from honeycomb of Apis mellifera. The collected four samples of honey have almost similar organoleptic characters i.e. colour, odour, taste and touch. Considerable differences are detected in physico-chemical analysis, nutritional value and HMF value. The observations are within normal range however the differences are suggestive of need of establishing quality control parameters based on source of honey, collection season, temperature and storage condition and also providing these details while labelling the samples. Finding of present study revealed that freshly collected natural honey have best desired attributes compared all three marketed samples.

“…Acharya Charka has mentioned that any materials in the universe or even a poison can be used as a medicine when it is used properly and on the contrary improperly used medicine can act as a poison [2].Traditionally medicinal plants have been used for many years as topical and internal preparation in the treatment of fungal and bacterial diseases. Globally, skin conditions are the fourth leading cause of nonfatal disease burden.…”
