Abstract

Mouth ulcers, known as canker sores or aphthous ulcers, are common painful lesions within the oral cavity, often resulting from factors like nutritional deficiencies, stress, hormonal changes, or physical trauma. This study investigates the development of a topical gel incorporating natural therapeutic agents extracted from Vitex negundo and Anacyclus pyrethrum to alleviate symptoms associated with mouth ulcers. These botanical extracts exhibit anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties that can reduce pain and promote oral ulcer healing. The gel formulations, formulated with appropriate gelling agents and excipients, underwent evaluation based on appearance and consistency to identify the optimal formulation. The selected formulation will undergo further antimicrobial studies to assess its effectiveness in managing mouth ulcers. In conclusion, the development of a topical gel containing bioactive compounds from Vitex negundo and Anacyclus pyrethrum represents a promising approach for treating mouth ulcers. This research contributes to the understanding of natural remedies for oral health conditions and highlights the potential of botanical extracts in topical formulations for managing oral ulcers.
