Main Article Content
Keywords
Morinda Tinctoria, ridax Procumbens, Herbal Cosmetics,, Anti-Inflammatory Cream
Abstract
Aim: The present study was to formulate and evaluate the herbal cream comprising extracts of different medicinal plants.
Experimental: Using a Soxhlet apparatus, an aqueous extract of all the chosen plants (Morinda Tinctoria, Tridax Procumbens) was created through a series of solvent extraction steps. A topical herbal cream was created and tested for several qualities, including stability, spreadability, pH, consistency, color, and viscosity. Using incision and excision wound models, a pharmacological assessment of a herbal cream formulation was conducted.
Result and Conclusion:It can be inferred from the results of the various evaluation parameters that the prepared herbal formulation was secure and safe to use in the process of wound healing.
