Abstract

Antimicrobial property is protecting your fabric from pathogenic microorganisms. These microbes can attack the cellulose in moist and humid conditions. To protect the textiles from these microbes, the textiles are treated with antimicrobial agents. Various synthetic antimicrobial agents are available at cheaper rate in market. But, these agents are non-eco-friendly in nature. Various medicinal herbs are available abundantly in India. These medicinal herbals have very good antimicrobial properties. These can be used as the alternative for the synthetic antimicrobial agents. The herbals, tulsi, aloe vera, garlic adamant creeper and so many medicinal herbals has antimicrobial property. In this paper some medicinal herbals that has antimicrobial properties are explained in this paper.
