Species of the genus Cordial, Boraginaceous, are widely studied with regard to the formulation of herbal aqueous gel. Herbal medicines is still the mainstay of about 75-80% of the world’s population, mainly in developing countries, for primary health care because of better compatibility with human body, cultural acceptability and lesser side effects. They are found principally in tropical and subtropical regions of the India, American and African continents, where they occur in various countries. The objective of present studies was to do the herbal formulation with methanolic extract of Cordia dichotoma G. Frost leaves. The species of the genus Cordial, Boraginaceous, are widely studied with regard to the various Cordial dichotomy and Carbopol 934, Propylene glycol as a gel base. Formulations were evaluated for various parameters like physical appearance, pH, homogeneity, spreadability, viscosity, extrudability. The formulated gel was transparent, homogeneous and pH ranges from 6.6 to 6.8. This research work give to information reported in this work contributes scientifically to recognizing the importance of the genus Cordial as a target in the search for new biotechnological investments and herbal formulation.
