FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF POLYHERBAL MOSQUITO-REPELLENT DHOOP
AbstractMosquitoes are the major deadliest insects in the world which cause the number of vectors borne diseases (e.g., Dengue, malaria, Zika virus fever, yellow fever, west Nile fever, Japanese encephalitis) in human being. In present years, interest in plant-based products has been revived because of the development of resistance, cross-resistance and possible toxicity hazards associated with synthetic insecticides and their rising costs. Presently available mosquito repellent in the market is based on the chemical and they aretoxic against the skin and nervous system, thereby they cause skin rashes, swelling, eye irritation, and other health problems. So, to overcome these herbal products are more preferred than chemical-based mosquito repellents. Herbal materials belonging to different plant species and their mixtures have been seen to act as effective repellent against various mosquitoes and pests. The easy availability and less adverse environmental impact have led to the increased interest in plant origin repellants which are safe and biodegradable alternatives to synthetic chemical repellants for use against mosquitoes and pests. The easy availability and less adverse environmental impact have led to the increased interest in plant origin repellants which are safe and biodegradable alternatives to synthetic chemical repellants for use against mosquitoes. By performing dhoop, various airborne diseases may be prevented, and the product been easily available in remote area leading to its sterilization. The current work focuses on preparation and evaluation of natural and herbal dhoop formulation for cleansing the environment. Further research is warranted to explore the full spectrum of biological activities of the formulation, optimize its composition, and assess its long-term safety and efficacy in diverse environments.
