Abstract :
The present study was designed to discuss many important points related to Sharbat with different types of drugs (juicy
fruits, dried sour fruits, dried sweet fruits, dry herbal drugs, mucilaginous drugs, drugs having volatile constituents, and
so forth). It also aimed to extensively discuss the drug and water ratio and drug and sugar ratio to prepare Sharbat, which
is mentioned in different reference books of Unani system of medicine (USM). USM includes many safe and effective
single drugs as well as compound formulations of herbal, animal, and mineral origin, which are used to cure a wide range
of diseases. Unani compound preparations are commonly used in four forms: solid (Hab, Qurs, Safoof, Kushta, and so
forth); semisolid (Majoon, Laooq, Marham/Zamad, and so forth); liquid (Sharbat, Sheera, Rooh, Tila, and so forth); and
gaseous (Bakhoor, Inkabab, and so forth). Sharbat is an important dosage form used from ancient times. It is mostly used
for the respiratory, urinary, digestive, and cardiovascular systems of the body.
