Medicinal plant or herbs are considered to have rich source of ingredients which can be used in drug development. The formulation of herbal mouthwash is a natural approach to oral hygiene that utilizes plant-based ingredients to create a safe and effective mouthwash. Herbal mouthwash is intended to provide a range of benefits, including anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-plaque effects, as well as freshening breath and promoting healthy gums and teeth. The formulation of herbal mouthwash offers an alternative to chemical-based oral hygiene products that can sometimes cause irritation and sensitivity. With the growing interest in natural remedies and alternative health practices, the formulation of herbal mouthwash offers a promising solution for those seeking a more natural approach to oral hygiene. The main objective of this literature work is to prepare and evaluate a herbal mouthwash and check its effectiveness against microorganisms of oral cavity. The prepared mouthwash was evaluated against pathogens and was found effective for controlling and demolishing microbial growth in mouth. Further physiochemical properties were tested for mouthwash and it possesses a good antibacterial activity. Next, studies on physical evaluation, pH measurement, stability, viscosity and antibacterial activity were conducted.
