Author(s):

Jyoti Sambhaji Darade

Abstract:

The review is about creating Arjuna bark chocolate, a special food product that uses the healing properties of Arjuna bark, which comes from the Terminalia arjuna plant. Ashwagandha, also called Withania somnifera, is another plant with health benefits like reducing stress, fighting inflammation, and helping the nervous system. Guggul, which is also known as Commiphora mukul or Commiphora wightii, is a powerful plant resin used in Ayurvedic medicine. According to the ancient Ayurvedic text Caraka Samhita, guggul is considered a cure for many diseases. Arjuna bark is known to help with heart health, lower cholesterol, and improve blood flow. The study looks at how to mix Arjuna bark extract with cocoa, sugar, and other healthy ingredients to make a nutritious chocolate. People enjoy chocolate more than most foods, but they usually avoid medicines. The goal of this project was to make medicated chocolate that includes medicinal ingredients to help prevent various illnesses.
