25 The present invention is related to a method for preparing herbal formulation
for treatment of skin burn. The method for herbal formulation to cure skin burn due to
fire, hot water and other types. The herbal formulation is prepared by using
Rhynchocia rufescens (Willd.) DC leaves and Ghee (Desi ghee prepared at home).
Fresh plant materials were collected, washed with running tap water, shade dried and
30 finally fine powder prepared. 250gm of desi ghee boil in aluminum pot on low flame,
after boiling 25 gms of Rhynchocia leaf powder were added to it and kept for boiling
for 20-25 minutes. After boiling it was filtered through wetted cotton cloth and kept in
5
freeze for 30 minutes. The prepared formulation applied on burn skin with the help of
cotton, burn skin exposed for 24 hours without any bandage.
The herbal formulation gives relief from burning pain within 3-4 hours
