In today’s era of globalisation and large scale production of Ayurvedic formulations, there is
an increasing need to enhance the shelf life of certain dosage forms. Shelf life can be
enhanced by modifying the dosage forms by adopting modern technologies. Granulation is one
such modern technology through which many dosage forms like swarasa, kwatha, churna,
avaleha etc can be modified. Apart from increasing the shelf life, granule form of the
medicament is having added benefits like rendering palatability to the drug, improving product
appearance, convenience in handling, dispensing, and storage. It even improves dissolution of
the drug, thus assuring maximum absorption and bio-availability. But while adopting these
modern technologies utmost concern should be taken so that desired therapeutic efficacy of the
drug is not compromised. This paper will shed light upon the details of various granulation
techniques, their merits and de-merits when adopted to Ayurvedic formulations.
