Cynodon dactylon (L), an annual herb belonging to the Poaceae family, is widely distributed throughout India. There are distinct names for many Indian languages. Dhro means it in Gujarati, Arukampillu means it in Tamil, Durva means it in Marathi, Durba means it in Bengali, Garicaggaddi means it in Telugu, and Sataparva means it in Sanskrit. A phytochemical study of Cynodon dactylon revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, triterpenoids, steroids, saponins, tannins, resins, phytosterols, lowering the number of proteins, Sugars, Carbohydrates, volatile oils, and fixed oils. These constituents contribute to its significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound healing properties. Topical formulation derived from Cynodon dactylon extract hove shown the ability to accelerate wound contraction, enhance epithelization, and protect against oxidative stress, thereby supporting tissue regeneration and repair. Similarly, Aegle marmelos is one of the most importance plants in the medicinal filed, with different medicinal properties, belonging to the family Rutaceae. Is enriched with alkaloids (such as aegelin), tannins, phenolics, coumarins and essential oils, which play a key role in its pharmacology effects. When applied topically, extract of Aegle marmelos demonstrate strong antimicrobial, analgesic, and anti- inflammatory activity alongside potent antioxidant properties. These action not only protect skin tissues from microbial invasion and inflammation but also enhance healing in ulcer, cuts, and minor burns. Furthermore, the Synergistic use of both Cynodon dactylon and Aegle marmelos highlight their potential as safe and natural alternative in topical formulation. This review comprehensively explores the pharmacological action of Cynodon dactylon.
