        abstract = {Polyherbal formulations are becoming popular because they are safer and show better combined therapeutic effects compared to single herbal drugs [1] Emulgel is a modern topical drug delivery system that combines the properties of both emulsions and gels, which improves drug stability and patient acceptability [2]This review focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal emulgel containing neem, turmeric, tulsi, and aloe vera, which are well known for their antimicrobial activity [3]These plants contain various bioactive constituents such as flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and essential oils that help in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms [4] The preparation of emulgel involves forming an emulsion and then incorporating it into a gel base using suitable gelling agents [5]Different evaluation parameters such as pH, viscosity, spreadability, drug content, and stability are important to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the formulation [6]Antimicrobial activity is generally evaluated using methods like agar well diffusion to check the effectiveness against different microbes [7]},
