Abstract: Herbal mouthwash contains natural ingredients called phytochemicals that contains desired anti-microbial effect. The aim of the present study was to evaluate herbal mouthwash against oral pathogens. Herbal mouthwash prepared from Mint (Mentha piperita), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Pomegranate (Punica granatum) and Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) was evaluated against oral pathogens. Prepared herbal mouthwash was found to be effective against all oral pathogens. It was found that all the four extracts were effective against S.aureus and E.coli. Antibiotic resistance profile of S.aureus showed that all S.aureus were sensitive (100% each) to Erythromycin, Gentamicin, Penicillin and Tetracycline while resistant to Oxacillin (100%). Antibiotic resistance profile of E.coli showed that all E.coli were sensitive to Tobramycin followed by 80% was sensitive to Chloramphenicol, Trimethoprim and Vancomycin while all E.coli were resistant to Ofloxacin. Phytochemical analysis of herbal aqueous extract was performed. It was found that in Mint extract Tannins and Reducing sugars were present. In Neem extract Alkaloids, Saponins, Flavonoids were present. In Pomegranate extract Glycosides, Flavonoids were present. In Tulsi extract Alkaloids, Glycosides, Tannins, Reducing sugars, Flavonoids were present.
