Abstract

Herbal liquid formulations are the preparation for oral health related issues like toothache, swelling, redness, bacterial or fungal infection in mouth, tooth decay, bleeding gums, weakened gums, etc. Such preparation also improves gums strength, removing bad breath and give fresh feel during good start of the day. Dentists generally use such preparations as antimicrobials before or after oral surgery to sanitize the surface of affected gums and teeth to avoid further contamination. Herbs like Tulsi, Clove, Mint, Ginger etc., are generally used either alone or in combination in herbal mouth-wash preparations which also render antibacterial activities. The other herbs like Eucalyptus and Liquorices have been reported to possess antibacterial, anti-oxidant, aromatic, anti- inflammatory and sweetening properties. In the present work, the research continues with formulation and evaluation of a herbal mouth rinse by using a combination of selected herbal extracts of Tulsi, Bael, Eucalyptus leaves and Liquorices rhizome for their antimicrobial activity against S. aureus using agar well diffusion plate technique. It was found that the formulated herbal mouth rinse or preparations gave satisfactory results in controlling the microorganism. Different physicochemical tests of prepared preparations were performed to figure out their pH, phase separation, homogeneity and scent.,
