FTIR and UV–Visible Spectroscopic Study of a Traditional Polyherbal Formulation from the Nallamala Forest, Telangana, India

Abstract Traditional herbal formulations remain essential to indigenous healthcare, yet most lack scientific validation. This study investigates a polyherbal remedy used by Chenchu healers of the Nallamala forest for managing ovarian and menstrual disorders. The preparation consists of four medicinal plants-Aloe vera, Mesua ferrea, Nelumbo nucifera, and Tribulus terrestris. Plant parts were shade-dried, powdered, and analysed through phytochemical screening, FTIR, and UV–Visible spectroscopy.

Phytochemical tests confirmed major secondary metabolites including alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, glycosides, tannins, saponins, steroids, and amino acids. FTIR spectra revealed functional groups such as O–H, N–H, C=O, C=C, and C–H, indicating alcohols, amines, aldehydes, aromatic and aliphatic compounds. UV spectra showed π→π* and n→π* transitions, reflecting conjugated antioxidant-rich molecules.

The analytical results validate the biochemical complexity and therapeutic relevance of the formulation, supporting its role in menstrual regulation, anti-inflammatory action, and hormonal balance. The study demonstrates how integrating traditional knowledge with modern spectroscopy strengthens evidence-based phytomedicine and reinforces the importance of conserving tribal healthcare wisdom.
