        abstract = {Wound healing is a complex biological process that can be significantly impaired by infections and inflammation. Traditional medicinal plants offer a time-tested and scientifically supported approach to accelerate tissue repair. This study presents the formulation and evaluation of a novel herbal wound healing spray composed of standardized extracts of Aloe vera, Curcuma longa (turmeric), Azadirachta indica (neem), and Calendula officinalis. These herbs were selected for their well-documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regenerative properties.
A water-based, red-tinted sprayable formulation was developed, incorporating mild preservatives and natural colorants to enhance stability and aesthetics. The product was evaluated for key physicochemical parameters including pH, viscosity, sprayability, and short-term stability. The final formulation demonstrated an ideal pH (5.4 ± 0.2) for topical application, viscosity suitable for smooth atomization (18–22 mPa·s), excellent spray distribution, and no signs of phase separation or degradation over 30 days.
These findings support the potential of this herbal spray as a safe, accessible, and cost-effective alternative to synthetic wound care agents, particularly in resource-limited settings. Further in vivo testing and clinical validation are warranted to fully establish its therapeutic efficacy and commercial viability.},
