This research aimed to determine the anti-inflammation activity of Nigella sativa oil in a simple balm stick by topical application. The activity was checked using two methods: carrageenan-induced paw oedema and granuloma pouch on rats. The results showed that balm sticks which contained 10% Nigella sativa could overcome both acute and sub-acute inflammation showing by high oedema inhibition (60.64%), low leucocytes count (43.55% lower than control) as well as a notable TNF-� concentration (50% lower than control) on the inflamed area. In conclusion, topical application of a Nigella sativa balm stick was effective for both acute and sub-acute forms of inflammation. publisher: Scientia Pharmaceutica type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/id/eprint/614/1/scipharm-87-00003%20Scientia.pdf identifier: Lusi, Putri Dwita dan YATI, KORI dan Sri, Nevi Gantini The Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Nigella sativa Balm Sticks.
