The main aim of the study is to select best herbal leaf for medical bandages which have antimicrobial properties and have wound healing property. For this purpose, extracts of five ecofriendly herbs Aakada (Calotropis gigantean), Guava (Psidium guajava linn), Marigold (Calendula officinalis), Parijat or Night jasmine (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis), Durva (Cynodon dactylon) were used. After drying the sample leaves, extraction was done in aqueous, ethanol and methanol medium as per standard recommended procedures. Antibacterial property was checked with agar well diffusion method against gram positive and gram negative bacteria i.e S aureus and E. coli. Among the five selected plant leaves guava leaves shows best zone of inhibition (ZOI) for ethanolic and methanic extract i.e 16.5mm and 17.5mm for Gram positive Bacteria- S. aureus. while aakda leaves shows 12.5mm and 14.5mm for Gram positive Bacteria- S. aureus and 11.0mm and 15.0mm for Gram negative Bacteria- E. coli.. As S. aureus bacteria is presents on any type of wound so these extract will be suitable for wound healing puspose. As per previous research Aakda leaves also possess UV protecting property which recommends these guava and aakda leaves extract for wound healing purpose as the best medicinal plant.
