An alternative measure to overcome these harmful effects can be possible by using herbs which possess antibacterial activity. The present study is designed to formulate Herbal Mouthwash using herbs such as Guava leaf, Clove, Cinnamon and Liquorice. These herbs are evaluated against common oral pathogens. The constituents of these herbs are extracted through maceration method. The extracts of herbs are formulated into mouthwash. The antibacterial activity of the formulation is evaluated by using cup plate method. The results of our work indicates that herbal mouthwash has antibacterial activity against selected strains of bacteria and antibacterial activity was found to be satisfactory.
