Design preparation and characterization polyherbal ointment for wound healing
Shrushti Ingrole, Abhishek Desai and Nilesh Chougule
Ayurveda emphasizes that the therapeutic efficacy of herbal treatments often relies on combining multiple herbs in precise proportions rather than relying on a single plant, which can be less effective and potentially harmful. This study aimed to develop a polyherbal formulation using extracts of Tulsi, Neem, and Oregano to explore their combined antioxidant and wound healing properties. Various ratios of these extracts were optimized to assess stability, viscosity, pH, and skin irritation potential of the formulations. The study evaluated polyherbal ointments containing 3%, 5%, and 7% w/w concentrations of the herbal extracts for their antioxidant activity and wound healing potential using excision and incision wound models.
