The Cocculu shirsutus and Tridax procumbens leaves were authenticated, dried, and extracted. Phytochemical screening and physicochemical analysis of extracts were done. The antimicrobial studies and in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of extracts were carried out. The polyherbal gel was formulated by varying the concentrations of the gelling agents. The formulation was evaluated for physical appearance, visual homogeneity, pH, viscosity, and accelerated stability studies. Six batches of polyherbal gel were formulated using different gelling agents and varying concentrations. The F4 formulation showed the best results.
