Abstract
The growing concerns over the adverse effects
of synthetic chemicals in commercial mosquito repellents and air purifiers have
led to an increasing demand for natural alternatives. This study aims to design
and evaluate herbal mosquito repellent and air cleansing dhoop sticks by
assessing their efficacy through in vitro methods. Various plant-based
ingredients, including essential oils and herbal extracts known for their
repellent and purifying properties, were selected and incorporated into the
formulation of dhoop sticks. The prepared sticks were evaluated with respect to
mosquito repellant activity using mosquito net method and air purifying potential
using agar plate method. The formulated sticks showed promising mosquito
repellant activity and air cleansing potential. Thus, preparation of dhoop
sticks using natural ingredients could be promising alternative.
