Introduction: Success in endodontic therapy depends on the effective chemo-mechanical debridement of the root canal system using instruments and irrigants. Common chemicals, such as 17% EDTA and sodium hypochlorite, are used to remove the smear layer. t NaOCl primarily dissolves organic tissue and CHXis an antimicrobial, while EDTA is the chelating agent specifically for the smear layers inorganiccomponents.However, the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains and the side effects of synthetic  drugs have led to increased interest in herbal alternatives. Herbal products,known for their antimicrobial, biocompatible, anti-inflammatory,and antioxidant properties, are gaining popularity in dental and medical practices.
