        abstract = {The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal anti-inflammatory gel using Butea Monosperma flower extract. The ethanolic extract was prepared by the Soxhlet extraction method and was found to contain flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, phenolic compounds and glycosides. The gel was formulated using Carbopol-940 and evaluated for various organoleptic and physicochemical parameters. Among the formulations, F3 showed satisfactory characteristics, including good homogeneity, smooth texture, acceptable pH, suitable viscosity and excellent spreadability. The formulation was safe for topical application and exhibited significant concentration-dependent inhibition of protein denaturation, indicating anti-inflammatory activity. The study concludes that Butea Monosperma flower extract can be successfully incorporated into a topical gel and may serve as a promising herbal alternative for the management of inflammatory conditions.},
