Abstract

Being a source of several beneficial secondary metabolites that serve as a plant's defence strategy against predators like bacteria, insects, and herbivores and have been shown to potentially be active Plant-based medications offer a considerable improvement over traditional treatments. Because microorganisms are growing more and more resistant to antibiotics or just because any drug has a shelf life, there has been a sharp rise in interest in antimicrobial plant extracts. Creating herbal gel formulations employing alcoholic extracts of Curcuma longa and Thuja occidentalis was the goal of the current investigation. Hydroalcoholic extracts of the herbs Curcuma longa and Thuja occidentalis were utilised to create herbal gels using the polymer carbopol 934, which were then tested for physicochemical characteristics like pH, Washability, extrudability, Spreadability, and viscosity. The gel activity of the formulations (F1- F4) was evaluated. The results showed that the gels were reliable and painless.
