BIBISIDABSTRACT
Nasocomial infection has emerged as a critical issue in hospital care outcome, resulting in substantial
‘morbidity and mortality. The hands of health care workers are the primary
routes of transmission of infection to patients. Hence, it brings up the use of antiseptic for hand washing
purposes. Many of the antiseptic available in market are alcohol based
sanitizers which have some shortcomings or adverse effects.
Their frequent use can lead to skin irritation. Chamomile is one of the most widely used and well-
documented medicinal plants in the world. This study aimed to formulate effective herbal hand wash using
Matricaria chamomilla (German chamomile) flowers with emphasis on safety
and efficacy and to avoid the risk posed by synthetic antimicrobials. Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity
against skin pathogens of the prepared herbal hand wash was
performed using disc diffusion method. Its efficacy was checked and compared with the commercial ones.
Results revealed that chamomile soap formulation was more efficient
in reducing the number of organisms from hands than the commercial antiseptic soaps thus it can be used
as an antiseptic soap with less or no side effects.
