Abstract: Hand hygiene is the single most important, simplest, and least expensive measure of preventing nosocomial infections as our hands are the primary and foremost modes of transmission of microbs. Spreading of infection prevented by Proper Hand Washing. Hence it brings us to the use of hand wash for hand washing purposes. The present research was aimed to evaluate the anti- microbial efficacy of Ocimum Sanctum (tulsi extract) by agar-plate diffusion method. Also the research was carried out to formulate and evaluate the herbal hand wash liquid containing the tulsi extracts. The anti-microbial activity of the formulated hand wash was tested against E. coli and S. aureus by Agar plate diffusion method. Thus this work suggests the incorporation and utilization of tulsi extract in the formulation to give better anti-microbial effect. Results show that tulsi extract containing herbal hand wash was more efficient in reducing the number of organisms from hands. Thus it can be used as better alternative to other hand wash.
