The objective of this work was the conversion of Triphala churna into stable, palatable and patient acceptable granules to swallow conveniently by dry granulation methods, using suitable binding agents. The formulations of churna granules were optimized on the basis of acceptable flow properties of granules. These properties of developed herbal churnas are compared with corresponding marketed product. Developed churna granules were tested for organoleptic evaluation and physiochemical evaluation such as moisture content, total ash, Acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, Alcohol soluble extract, water soluble extract by human volunteers. Dry granulation process will improve flow and compression characteristics, reduce segregation, improve content uniformity, and eliminate excessive amounts of fine particles. The dry granulation technology that gives good results based on evaluation of different granule properties, namely the Carr?s index, Angle of repose and tapped bulk density.
