Abstract
Creation and Assessment of Poly Herbal Mosquito Repellent Candle: The goal of the study is to create an environmentally friendly and potent herbal mosquito repellent candle that works better than those made of chemicals. Choosing appropriate herbal ingredients, creating candles with oils of neem, clove, orange peel, lemongrass, marigold, rosemary, and lavender all of which are known to repel mosquitoes and assessing their effectiveness are all part of the study. The candles are non-toxic, harmless, and designed to guard against diseases like dengue, chikungunya, zika virus, malaria, and yellow fever that are spread by mosquitoes. Melted wax is mixed with oils and herbal components to make a cure for diseases spread by mosquitoes. The efficacy and safety of the candles are demonstrated by tests of their colour, scent, appearance, flammability, burning time, irritancy, stability, and repelling activity. The benefits of polyherbal mosquito repellent candles are also emphasized, such as their low toxicity to non-target creatures, safety, lightweight nature, and environmental friendliness. Melting beeswax, combining powdered components, adding oils and juices, filling molds and cooling the candles are all steps in the formulation process. The candles successfully repel and kill mosquitoes while being safe for human usage, according to tests including organoleptic evaluation, irritancy, uniformity of mass, burning time, and mosquito repellent action. All things considered, the herbal mosquito repellent candle provides a sustainable and natural way to fight diseases spread by mosquitoes, with possible advantages for the environment and public health.
