This review discusses quality control parameters for herbal formulations, highlighting their importance for safety and efficacy.
Herbal formulations have gained global acceptance due to their therapeutic efficacy, safety, and holistic approach to healthcare. However, variability in phytochemical composition, contamination, and adulteration pose significant challenges to their quality, safety, and efficacy. This review highlights the importance of quality control parameters in herbal formulations, covering pharmacognostic, physicochemical, phytochemical, microbiological, and advanced analytical techniques. Regulatory perspectives, including WHO guidelines, are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on modern analytical tools such as chromatography, spectroscopy, and molecular techniques that ensure standardization and reproducibility. The integration of traditional knowledge with modern scientific validation is essential for global acceptance of herbal medicines.
