ABSTRACT
A frequent bacterial skin infection, cellulitis is a major global health concern. This study investigates the effectiveness of Shirish (Albizia lebbeck), which has historicallybeen used to treat inflammation and infection. It has been demonstrated that the extract from this plant has anti-bacterial action against a varietyof bacteria when applied as a salve to treat cellulitis. Byconducting both in vitro and in vivo trials, the study systematically investigates and assesses Shirish’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics. The cream’s and the extract’s concentration-onlyantibacterial properties were correlated. The physical characteristics of all cream formulations were good; they were all smooth, emollient, non-greasy, and water-soluble. The development of Albizia lebbeck as a cream for S. aureus-caused skin infections is determined to have potential. Findings indicate promising therapeutic potential, offering a natural alternative or adjunct therapyfor cellulitis management.
