Abstract : This study aims to develop and assess an ointment formulated from the extract of Ashoka seeds (Saraca indica) for its antiarthritic properties. The ethanol extract was obtained using the percolation method. An ointment base was created, and four different formulations were prepared by incorporating the extract into the base through the levigation technique. Upon completion of the formulations, they wereevaluated based on various physicochemical parameters, including color, odor, pH, spreadability, consistency, solubility, and washability. Consequently, this formulation may serve as an effective and convenient means of utilizing the therapeutic properties of Ashoka seeds in a straightforward dosage form.

Keywords : Antiarthritic, Percolation, Levigation.
