ABSTRACT:
Herbal Formulation has been accepted as a therapeutic agent for several diseases, due to its efficiency AND fewer side effect. This present research has been undertaken with the aim to formulate & evaluate herbal antimicrobial gels using essential oils (Rose Oil, Almond oil, Lemon Oil, Citronella Oil) gel formulations were prepared using Carbopol 940, ethanol, PEG 400 and required amount of distilled water. The physical parameters of formulated gels like colour, homogeneity, pH, viscosity and spreadability were evaluated. The gels were evaluated for antibacterial efficiency by the agar diffusion method against S. Aureus, E. coli. The herbal gels showed that formulations containing Essential oils have better antibacterial activity.
