The Formulation and Evaluation of a Herbal Gel contains powdered extracts of Tulsi leaves (Ocimum sanctum Linn) and Betel leaves (Piper betle) for the treatment of Fungal Infections

The purpose and aim of this study is to create a new herbal gel formulation for the treatment of fungal infections by combining powdered extracts of Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum Linn) and betel (Piper betle) leaves. Using a standardized process, the gel formulation was created, and its in vitro antifungal effectiveness against common fungal diseases was assessed along with its pH, viscosity, spreadability, and drug concentration. The second test assessed the dosage forms’ physical attributes, such as their viscosity, adhesion, dispersion, pH, and organoleptic qualities. The Mann-Whitney method was used to examine this data, and the conclusion was removed from providing a quantitative description of the findings. The findings showed that the herbal gel had notable antifungal action and appealing physical properties, indicating that it might be used as a substitute for conventional treatments for fungal infections. Its effectiveness and safety in human beings need to be confirmed by more clinical research.
