Abstract :
The current study uses extracts from medicinal plants that are known to have therapeutic qualities to formulate and assess a polyherbal wound-healing ointment. The biological process of wound healing is intricate and involves remodeling, tissue creation, and inflammation. There is a demand for safer and more effective herbal alternatives because conventional therapies may result in side effects or microbial resistance.
Neem (Azadirachta indica), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), and Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) were among the plants employed in this study because of their well-established antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. A number of physicochemical criteria, such as appearance, pH, spreadability, washability, and irritancy, were assessed for the formulation. Compatibility was indicated by the pH being found to be within the permissible skin range. The ointment was easily applied to the skin and had good spreadability. The formulation’s non-irritating properties and topical safety were verified by irritancy testing. According to stability experiments, the formulation held up well in a variety of storage scenarios.
By limiting microbial infection, lowering inflammation, encouraging collagen production, and quickening tissue regeneration, the combined effect of herbal substances improved wound healing. The optimized formulation outperformed the other batches in terms of washability and spreadability.
