Effect Of Gel Based Polyherbal Handwash Of Azadirachta Indica, Citrus Limonis, And Aloe Vera, On Staphylococcus Aureus,Candida Albicans And Bacillus Subtilis

Abstract

Infectious diseases that can be spread from person to person in homes and communities continue to be a major cause for worry. The changing nature and range of pathogens we are exposed to and community demographic changes that affect our resistance to infections are the main reasons for this. Both of these factors contribute significantly to the problem. It is essential to practice good hand hygiene in order to cut down on the spread of infectious diseases in both the household and the community. Because antibacterial soaps contain triclosan, which has a significant number of drawbacks, and alcohol-based sanitizers, which cause discomfort due to skin drying, we should consider replacing them with herbal antimicrobial components instead. The gel base is both the material and the process. Azadirachta indica, Citrus limonis, and Aloe vera are the herbs that are utilized in the preparation of polyherbal hand wash. This helps to prevent any unwanted side effects. The gel base polyherbal hand wash that was developed was tested for its antibacterial activity using the cup plate method, and the results were positive. Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and bacillus subtilis are the three types of microorganisms that are employed in antimicrobial testing. As a result of the experiment, we can draw the conclusion that gel-based polyherbal hand washes provide a higher level of inhibition than commercially available synthetic hand washes
