The personal care industry is currently more concentrated on herbal cosmetics as nowadays it is fast growing segment with a vast scope of various expansions in coming years. Herbal cosmetics are the preparations that represent cosmetics associated with active bio - ingredients, nutraceuticals, or pharmaceuticals. The use of bioactive phytochemicals from various botanicals has a dual function: they are used as cosmetics to care for the body and its parts, and the botanical components impact the skin's biological processes. Identifying the phytochemicals for skin and body care products is greatly aided by our historical understanding of the utilization of plant riches as documented in the Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Tibetan systems of medicine. The development of Nobel cosmeceuticals for skin & body care illnesses will require the necessary efforts to associate current cosmetology with bioactive components based on our traditional system of medicine. Additionally, it significantly polluted the environment and disrupted our ecosystem. To enhance people's health and the quality of their lives and address the limitations of the allopathic system, both contemporary and conventional approaches must be used in addition to it. This has resulted in a rise in the use of herbal medications, cosmetics, neutraceuticals, and natural dyes. The aim of this review is to demonstrate the preventive methods of Ayurveda for skin and hair care in the contemporary period and to describe, based on a literature review, the relationship between Ayurveda and cosmetics. The knowledge of medicinal plants used by the people is well-known in its culture and tradition. The association between Ayurveda and cosmeceuticals has also been reviewed in this article.","PeriodicalId":44665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research","volume":"387 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aim to use a direct compression technique to formulatethe floating tablets. The characterization of the formulation of VPH was carried out by employing FT-IR and DSC studies, whichshowed that there was no chemical interaction between the drug and polymers, such as HPMC K100M, chitosan, and sodiumalginate. The tablets are designed to have good in-vitro buoyancy, and they remain afloat in the dissolution medium. The bestformulation (F7) is chosen based on its maximum drug discharge (91.91±2.25%) and drug content (97.20±2.71%) over 12h. Thedischarge kinetics of the drug from the tablets are analyzed using various mathematical models, such as zero order, first order,Higuchi, and Korsmeyer's equations. These models help explain and predict drug discharge behavior over time. The studyconcludes that a proper balance between the sustained-release polymer and the gas-forming agent is essential for efficient in-vitrobuoyancy and sustained drug discharge. Formulation F7, which utilized sodium alginate, appears to be the most promising in termsof drug discharge and content.","PeriodicalId":44665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research","volume":"9 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135764219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A clinician who doesnot treat pregnant women regularly may not routinely identify pregnancy-specific risk factors for VTE. In patients with DVT,treatment with anticoagulation is associated with a high risk of bleeding during the immediate postpartum state, and patients dowell with monitored anticoagulation and proper supportive treatment, as described in this case report. We are reporting a caseof a 20-year-old primigravida who presented with labor pains at 39 (+6) weeks of gestation at Sree Balaji Medical College andHospital, Chrompet, Chennai. The patient had no comorbidities and did not report any past or family history of VTE. An emergencycesarean section was performed due to fetal distress, and on the first postoperative day, she developed swelling pain andtenderness in the left lower limb. Color Doppler ultrasound showed left anterior tibial vein thrombosis, following whichanticoagulant therapy was started with low molecular weight heparin. The patient was closely monitored for signs of bleeding orPE and was eventually discharged on oral anticoagulation.

Amalaki is used in different ayurvedicformulations like churna, juice, rasayan, chyavanaprash, dhatri lauha, dhatryadi ghrita, and Triphala churna. Even so, more work was needed toestablish quality control standards for Amalaki formulations. This is because the plant is considered safe, and there are few reports of adverseeffects. Therefore, there needs to be more incentive to conduct rigorous studies on the safety and efficacy of Amalaki formulations. Despite thislack of research, Amalaki is still widely used with few reported side effects, making it an attractive option for those seeking natural remedies. In thepresent study, the phytochemical screening & physical evaluation were carried out of Amalaki formulations. The study includes determiningorganoleptic characters, moisture contents, ash, extractive values, etc. Marketed amalaki formulations were extracted in the microwave usingsolvent methanol: water (70:30). UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used for quantitative phytochemical evaluation of extracts of amalakiformulations. Alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, phenols, and tannins were found in the qualitative phytochemical evaluation of amalakiformulations.

The present study aimed to developa quantitative analysis method for estimating the constituents in the methanolic extract of Curcuma angustifolia Roxb. rhizome andto investigate its biological activity. Within the context of this challenge, the current work is a unique effort that recommends ahigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for estimating curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxycurcumin,and bis-demethoxycurcumin, present in the methanolic extract of Curcuma angustifolia Roxb. rhizome. A reverse-phase HPLCmethod was developed to estimate curcuminoids in the extract. The method was validated and found to be precise, sensitive,specific, linear, accurate, and robust. The method validation study's findings demonstrated the method's suitability for routine use.The HPLC method was successfully applied to a marketed formulation containing rhizome powder from Curcuma angustifolia Roxb.as one of its constituents.
