Evaluation of Polyherbal Gel Silver Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Neonatal Burns
Keywords:
N\AAbstract
Burn injuries in newborns are among the most difficult wounds to treat. Their skin is fragile, their immune defenses are still developing, and even small burns can have serious consequences. Polyherbal formulations have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a wide range of ailments, including wound healing. The synergistic interactions between different plant-derived compounds can enhance their therapeutic efficacy and reduce the risk of adverse effects. Guava, in particular, is rich in bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids, which have been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. The prepared polyherbal gel was subjected to various evaluation parameters to assess its physicochemical properties. This study demonstrates the successful formulation of a polyherbal gel combining guava extract and silver nanoparticles, both known for their wound-healing and antimicrobial properties
