A simple ointment base was prepared using white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin. The extracts were incorporated into the ointment base following levigation method. The amount of extract to be incorporated into the ointment base was determined according to their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus &lt;/em&gt;MTCC 87. The formulated ointments were evaluated for several physicochemical characteristics like colour, odour, homogeneity, washability, spredability, irritation potential etc. Antistaphylococcal assay was conducted using well diffusion method. Ointment base containing white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin was used as negative control and Supragent containing Gentamicin sulphate was used as a positive control. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The formulated ointments showed satisfactory results for tested physicochemical parameters. Both ointments showed moderate antistaphylococcal activity with reference to the activity showed by Supragent. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results of this study indicate that the formulated ointments can be incorporated into India’s medicine system for treating &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; induced skin ailments in future.&lt;/p&gt;

These weeds are traditionally known to have medicinal properties and have been used for therapeutic treatments. However, it is only the lack of proper knowledge, awareness and screening that have limited their use in pharmaceutical sectors. This review attempts to consolidate the traditional, phytochemical and pharmacological studies that have been carried out on &lt;em&gt;Ageratum conyzoides&lt;/em&gt; L., &lt;em&gt;Tridax procumbens&lt;/em&gt; L. and&lt;em&gt; Bidens pilosa&lt;/em&gt; L., which we note are widely spread throughout the world. This study was conducted through a coherent search on&lt;em&gt; Ageratum conyzoides&lt;/em&gt; L., &lt;em&gt;Tridax procumbens&lt;/em&gt; L. and &lt;em&gt;Bidens pilosa &lt;/em&gt;L. with respect to traditional uses, phytochemical and pharmacological studies that have been performed on these three agricultural weeds all over the world. An exploration of reported descriptions of the potential medical importance of three agricultural weed species (A&lt;em&gt;. conyzoides, T. procumbens&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;B. pilosa&lt;/em&gt;) has been presented. The present review would encourage further clinical investigations into these three plants and their extracts to more closely define the range of uses of these herbs for clinical applications. This, in turn, would give a clear understanding whether these weed species might be targeted to be conserved in a sustainable manner rather than eradicated.&lt;/p&gt;
