A polymeric film base is prepared by dissolving hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in distilled water and incorporating glycerin as a plasticizer. The concentrated herbal extract is added to polymeric film base to form a homogeneous solution, which is cast onto a leveled glass plate and dried to form a dried herbal film. The dried film is peeled off and cut into patches. The herbal film is laminated with a sterile polyurethane backing layer coated with a medical-grade acrylic adhesive to obtain herbal patch.
