The ethanolic (80 %), methanolic (80 %) and aqueous decoction (100 % distilled water) of whole plant of Linn (Indian Sorrel) was evaluated for its anti-microbial and antioxidant properties by methods. Methanolic (80 %) and ethanolic (80 %) decoctions showed significant antibacterial property against , , and bacterial strains. In comparison to Chloramphenicol (C30) against bacteria, 80 % ethanolic decoctions showed significant effect, among the decoctions. Nowadays though the standard soap is in huge demand but it's also facing major backlash due to the presence of synthetic compounds in it, which over long use may cause harmful effects on the skin health. Therefore, the organic soaps which are made up of natural ingredients, herbs or any sort Ayurvedic compound have fewer side effects on the human skin and are much safer than standard daily soap. The formulated therapeutic soap exhibits a significant amount of reducing potential (high FRAP and TAC values) and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS assay).
