Abstract

This comparative review explores the characteristics and benefits of polyherbal and monoherbal cosmetic formulations. Formulations containing two or more herbs are called polyherbal formulations. Drug formulation in Ayurveda is based on the use of a single drug or more than one drug. A monoherbal formulation contains only one herb. The problem of polyherbal formulation occurs due to sources and manufacturing processes, patients, drug-herb interaction, toxicity, and improper manufacturing. Polyherbal formulations mean the use of more than one herb in a therapeutic preparation. In Ayurveda, multiple herbs are used in the treatment of illness.
