Ingredients were meticulously processed, heated, and solidified under controlled conditions. Yield and analytical parameters of each formulation were recorded according to API reference. Results: SBM reference produced brittle flakes with brownish spots, yielding 71.42%. BR resulted in very hard flakes with 54.66% yield. RTSSPS achieved thin, brittle flakes with nearly 89.77% yield. SYS produced hard flakes, yielding 73.68%. RDT yielded arduous flakes with a 69.85% yield. Analytical results showed significant variations in physicochemical properties, highlighting the diverse impacts of these traditional texts on preparation techniques. Conclusion: Standardizing these methods is essential to ensure consistency and reliability in clinical applications. Future research should focus on refining these techniques and exploring their clinical benefits in more depth.
