THE EFFECT OF AYURVEDIC MEDICINES ON E. COLI
The issue of inadequate sanitation and water scarcity affects millions globally, particularly in developing regions. This research aims to address these challenges by developing a solution that can kill bacteria and reduce water usage for hygiene. The solution leverages natural ingredients such as honey, lemon juice, neem powder, aloe vera, and turmeric, known for their antibacterial properties. These ingredients are mixed in specific ratios to create an effective, cost-efficient alternative to commercial hand sanitizers. The study hypothesizes that these natural mixtures will prevent E. coli growth, offering a sustainable hygiene solution accessible to impoverished areas. Experimental results indicate varying degrees of antibacterial effectiveness among the mixtures, with some showing promise in maintaining antibacterial properties over time. The findings suggest that further optimization and testing are required to enhance the solution's consistency and efficacy, contributing to global efforts in improving hygiene and public health.
