Abstract

Since ancient times, medicinal plants have been recognized as a significant source for treating a variety of human ailments. Recently, emphasis has been placed on using environmentally and biologically friendly plant-based solutions to prevent and treat diseases. Consequently, it would be better to use safe, proven, and efficient ayurvedic herbal compositions. Using herbal remedies to treat wounds include debridement, cleanliness, and creating an environment which is conducive to the body's natural healing process. Creams were semisolid formulations meant to be applied topically. Various herbal oils, extracts, and excipients were incorporated to formulate the cream compositions. One of the most important medical systems that cures a variety of diseases with herbal plants and extracts is Ayurveda. Polyherbal formulations are those that contain two or more herbs. Several microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus angiosus, Bacillus subtilis, Corynebacterium spp., Escherichia coli, and others, were targeted by the antimicrobial properties of Abrus precatorius extracts from leaves, stem, and seed oil. Significant antifungal action against Candida, including azole-resistant strains, was demonstrated by methyl chavicol and linalool derived from Ocimum sanctum essential oil.
