MD tablets prepared from Ginger/Sunthi and Cinnamon, and candies prepared from Sunthi, in different proportions, along with citric acid were taken for the study. Physico-chemical parameters were studied, and the presence of corresponding spices in the samples, was proved by following the well-versed HPTLC technique. Safety of the products, for consumption, was assured, by carrying out microbiological evaluation. It was observed that the MD tablets and candies are medicinally valuable, due to their positive action on certain discomforts. They provide fast relief from throat infection and motion sickness, and make us feel comfortable. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
