Formulation, Evaluation and Anti-Bacterial Activity of Herbal Gel for Mouth Ulcer by Using Jasminum Officinale.

Mouth ulcers are a common oral condition causing discomfort and affecting daily life. The present study focuses on the formulation, evaluation, and anti-bacterial activity of a herbal gel using Jasminum officinale (common jasmine), a plant known for its medicinal properties. The plant contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects. The herbal gel was formulated by extracting active ingredients from Jasminum officinale and incorporating them into a gel base suitable for topical application. The gel's physicochemical properties, including pH, viscosity, and spreadability, were assessed to ensure suitability for oral mucosa use. In-vitro antibacterial activity was evaluated against common oral pathogens, such as Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, using standard methods. The gel exhibited significant antibacterial activity, demonstrating its potential as a natural treatment for mouth ulcers. This study emphasizes the potential of Jasminum officinale in developing alternative therapeutic formulations for oral health.
