In vitro study the antibacterial activity of the methanolic extracts of dried leaves of Emblica officinalis are determine by using the Agar cup plate method versus different bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa etc. By blending the methanolic extract of Emblica officinalis (10 % w/w) into aqueous cream we formulated herbal ointment. The emulsifying agent and simple ointment bases are added in above herbal ointment for increase the antibacterial effectiveness during in vitro evaluation. The herbal ointment is also better in comparison to a commercial brand of Gentamicin ointment.
