Formulation And Evaluation of Antibacterial Gel from Ficus Religiosa Bark Extract

In India, herbal remedies have long been the mainstay of medicine. The existence of several complex chemical compounds with varying compositions that are secondary plant metabolites in one or more plant sections gives medicinal plants their therapeutic qualities. Ficus religiosa, also referred to as pepal, is a member of the Moraceae family and has long been used as an antidiabetic, antibacterial, and antiulcer, and to treat skin conditions and gonorrhea. The Bo tree, F. religiosa, provided refuge to the Buddha as he revealed the "Truths." [1].
