The wide range of pharmacological effects shown by different plant components has led to the long-standing practice of using herbal remedies to treat a wide range of chronic illnesses. Ointments, syrups, gels, creams, pills, and tablets are just a few of the various herbal dosage forms accessible today. A wide range of dermatological conditions, including burns, acne, warts, psoriasis, and some fungal and bacterial infections, may be treated using a variety of semisolid dose forms. Herbal topical gels are semisolid dosage forms that include one or more herbs in particular amounts to have a targeted therapeutic effect. They may be either clear or translucent. Skin, the rectus, the vagina, and other areas get these gels. Since synthetic medications in the present day have little side effects, herbal products are seeing tremendous appeal on a global scale. Therefore, in order to meet the demand and meet the requirement on a worldwide scale, it is essential to create more herbal formulations that have improved product quality and longevity. So, the purpose of this study is to shed light on the specific properties, methods of manufacture, and assessment criteria of herbal gels in the hopes that researchers will be able to use this information to inform the development of dosage forms including herbal gels.
