Development of herbal formulation containing suitable solvent extract of eucalyptus and curcuma for wound healing activity

Abstract

newline Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves various cellular and molecular newlinemechanisms. Individuals with diabetes often face challenges in wound healing due to impaired newlineimmune function and increased susceptibility to infections. Traditional wound care products, newlinealthough widely available, often come with limitations such as antibiotic resistance and adverse side newlineeffects. Therefore, there is a need to explore alternative approaches that harness the potential of newlinenatural compounds for effective wound healing. newlineIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilizing plant-derived compounds for their newlineantimicrobial and wound healing properties. Plants, with their rich repository of bioactive molecules, newlinehave been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Eucalyptus and Curcuma are two such plants newlinethat have gained attention for their therapeutic potential. Eucalyptus, known for its antimicrobial newlineproperties, has been traditionally used to treat various infections. Curcuma, on the other hand, newlineexhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, making it a promising candidate for wound newlinehealing. newlineBuilding upon this knowledge, the present study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of newlineselected plant extracts and develop a formulation for wound healing. The research focused on the newlinesynergistic effects of Eucalyptus and Curcuma extracts, as their combination has the potential to newlineenhance the efficacy of wound healing formulations. By harnessing the power of these natural newlinecompounds, we aimed to create a novel formulation that surpasses existing marketed products in newlineterms of antimicrobial activity and wound healing properties. newlineTo achieve these objectives, a systematic methodology was employed. The selected plants were newlinecarefully chosen based on their known antimicrobial properties and traditional use in wound healing. newlineThe active compounds from Eucalyptus and Curcuma were extracted using suitable techniques, and newlinetheir antimicrobial activity was evaluated against common wound-related pathogen
