Various excipient ratios were investigated to determine the optimal formulation. Dioscin content was quantified using UV-visible spectrophotometry. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The optimized formulation comprised 25% dry extract, 34% lactose, 34% microcrystalline cellulose, 6% PVPP, 0.5% magnesium stearate, 0.5% talc, and 4.5% HPMC. The tablets demonstrated acceptable pharmaceutical characteristics, including an average weight of 0.113 ± 0.001 g, hardness of 0.83 ± 0.23 MPa, friability of 98.17 ± 0.65%, and disintegration time of 7.30 minutes. The dioscin content was 13.50 ± 0.50 mg/g, with an assay recovery of 95.51%. Dissolution exceeded 83% in both media within 45 minutes. The similarity factor (f₂) confirmed equivalent dissolution profiles. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The developed&lt;em&gt; T. terrestris&lt;/em&gt; tablet formulation met pharmacopoeial standards and exhibited consistent physical, chemical, and biopharmaceutical performance, supporting its potential as a standardized herbal medicinal product for clinical and commercial application.&lt;/p&gt;

This study investigated the plant's historical use, chemical composition, biological effects, and medicinal significance. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A literature review was conducted using classical medical texts, pharmacopoeias, and peer-reviewed articles from international research databases to explore the properties and uses of&lt;em&gt; T. terrestris.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Traditional sources, such as book “Essence of spring water, root of the eight-part secret”(“&lt;em&gt;Rashaan Shim Naiman Gishuun't Nuuts Uvdisiin Undes&lt;/em&gt;”), describe &lt;em&gt;T. terrestris&lt;/em&gt; as having sweet and warm properties, mainly used for treating kidney diseases and wind-related disorders (khi). It has traditionally been used to relieve kidney ailments caused by cold, kidney rheumatism, urinary retention, leg and back pain, edema, and male reproductive weakness. Additionally, it is believed to promote urination and enhance the overall vitality. Modern research confirms that T. terrestris exhibits kidney-protective effects owing to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It also has mild diuretic effects, supports sex hormone production, and enhances sexual functions. Furthermore, their antioxidant properties have potential anti-aging effects. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Modern research confirms the traditional use of &lt;em&gt;T. terrestris &lt;/em&gt;to support kidney health, promote urination, and boost physical energy intake.&lt;/p&gt;
