Abstract

Inflammation is a fundamental physiological response triggered by tissue injury, infection or irritation, often characterized by redness, swelling, pain and loss of function. Although the widespread use of traditional anti-inflammatory medications, long term use may have negative consequences, underscoring the need for safer and more potent substitutes. The current research attempted to create and assess an herbal anti-inflammatory hydrogel using ethanolic extracts of the rhizomes of Curcuma Amada and the Carissa Carandas leaves. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities of these medicinal plants are attributed to their abundance of bioactive phytoconstituents, including flavonoids, phenolic compounds alkaloids and terpenoids. To improve topical distribution and patient compliance, the extracts were produced by cold maceration using ethanol and then added to a hydrogel foundation made using Carbopol 940 and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC). Numerous physicochemical criteria, such as pH, viscosity, spreadability, extrudability, homogeneity, washability and skin irritation, were assessed for the produced formulations. According to the findings, every formulation showed respectable stability and topical application appropriateness. Batch B5 exceeded the other batches, exhibiting ideal pH, greater spreadability and desired extrudability. The hydrogel had a smooth, non-gritty texture was easily cleaned and showed no symptoms of irritation. Because of its natural composition, low risk of side effects and high patient compliance, the created herbal hydrogel exhibits great potential as a safe and effective substitute for traditional anti-inflammatory treatments. Its therapeutic efficacy, stability and convenience of use point to the necessity for more thorough research, including sophisticated pharmacological and clinical studies.

It is a great pleasure and honour to write this testimonial for IJPHRE which published our article on TH for HIE in LMIC on Feb 16th, 2026 and a commentary article on the same subject on 31st January 2025. Going through the very fast, well supported and properly guided process of publication in IJPHRE was an exceptional experience. The submission was very quick; peer review was very professional and done within a reasonable and short time. The comments of the reviewers meaningfully helped to reshape the manuscript without changing the fundamental dataset and analysis. The editorial board was very helpful and supportive. The communication was clear and instant, almost on daily basis. The team of authors felt very proud of seeing its manuscript published in an international journal of very high quality and esteem in remarkably short time of almost 45 days. We highly recommend IJPHRE for publication of all kinds of original scientific research, review articles and clinical guidelines.
