Formulation And Evaluation of Herbal Ointment Containing Neem and Turmeric

The use of herbal treatments and interest in them has grown significantly in recent years, even in places with access to modern medicine. Since medicinal plants are the most abundant source of bioactive molecules utilized in both traditional and modern medicine, plant-derived substances and herbal medicines have recently gained a lot of attention due to their many applications. The goal of the current project is to create and assess an ointment using extracts from turmeric (Curcuma longa) and neem (Azadirachta indica). The maceration process was used to create the ethanolic extracts. The ointment base was made, and the extract was added to the base using the levigation procedure to formulate the ointment. Following formulation, the product's physicochemical characteristics, including color, odor, pH, spreadability, extrudability, consistency, diffusion studies, and solubility, were assessed. The ointment base was made, and the extract was added to the base using the levigation procedure to formulate the ointment. The formulation's physicochemical characteristics, including color, odor, pH, spreadability, extrudability, consistency, diffusion studies, solubility, and washability, were assessed once it was finished. Additionally, the formulation's stability at several temperature circumstances was assessed; the diffusion, spreadability, and irritancy studies showed no changes. As a result, it might develop into a medium for the efficient and convenient utilization of the therapeutic qualities of turmeric and neem in a straightforward dosage form.
