Joshanda
Joshanda, a polyherbal Unani (Greco-arab) formulation comprising seven herbs is extensively used in the treatment of upper and lower respiratory catarrh. The word “Joshanda” is derived from two words i.e. "Joshanidan” which means boiling and “Andah” which means “prepared by” thus Joshanda meaning, “prepared by boiling” (Vohora, 1986). Decoction of Joshanda mixture is prepared extemporaneously by boiling it for a substantial length of time.
