These phytochemicals have been shown to exhibit several medicinal benefits such as antioxidative, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties. The present review briefly discussed about Shatavari, Aloe vera, Alma, Tulsi, Ginger, and Turmeric. The frozen dairy products are a good carrier for delivery of herb’s benefits to the consumer.
