Hamdard Joshanda Herb is an Unani herbal medication which is in the form of Joshanda (Decoction), also called Matbookh or Tabeekh, which means cooked. Many roots and barks, stems and flowers etc are boiled for a prescribed time before their active principles are extracted. The proportion usually is 1 teaspoon of the dried herb to 1 cup of water. Always use stainless steel, glass, or porcelain vessels to make decoctions. Let cool, and add honey or other flavouring agents if desired. Generally drug and water ratio should be 1:6 or 1:8. It should be boiled as indicated as water remains half or one-third.

Joshanda is used traditionally as a home remedy for the common cold, cough & catarrh also helpful in sore throat. Joshanda is a Persian word derived from Joshanidan (boiling) and Andah. So the literal meaning of Joshanda is one which is “prepared by boiling”. This formulation is prepared like a herbal decoction.

Joshanda works by suppressing the formation of enzymes that are activated in the swelling process, activating cell-mediated immunity, stimulating immune function, and increasing blood circulation.
