Traditional therapies, including the use of dietary components for wound healing and skin regeneration, are very common in Asian countries such as China and India. The increasing evidence of health-protective benefits of phytochemicals, components derived from plants is generating a lot of interest, warranting further scientific evaluation and mechanistic studies. Herbal products are becoming more familiar among consumers as a healthier, organic, beneficial and economically responsible option. Herbal Product may have less or negligible side effect compare to synthetic product. The herb we used in the formulation of herbal antiseptic liquid is Tridex procumbens L.

They are responsible for antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anticancer, antibacterial, wound healing properties. In addition, flavonoids play an important role to control the growth of toxin producing bacteria in plants.
