Abstract
Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, has always focused on the nurture and maintenance of good health in an individual. Ayurveda believes in striking a balance between an individual (body, mind, soul, spirit). Ayurvedic fumigation, Dhoopana is an example of drug delivery through the inhalation routehaving several advantages including ease of drug administration, higher bioavailability and high potential to penetrate the blood brain barrier. Dhoop formulation made in this work is with an aim to minimize the usage of chemicals or disinfectants to cleanse the environment as well as an eco-friendly treatment against cough and cold. Efforts were made to devise an herbal Dhoop using cow dung, cow ghee, camphor, Ajwain seeds (Trachyspermum ammi) and Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) Having an appreciable fragrance. The current work focuses on preparation and bioanalytical evaluation of natural and herbal Dhoop formulation for cleansing theenvironment and an eco-friendly treatment against cough and cold. The antimicrobial activity of the prepared Dhoop was checked and it was found that it canbe a potential source against respiratory pathogens namely, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
