	<abstract>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background&lt;/strong&gt;: The global promotion of herbal products is not at par due to a lack of quality control studies. Marham-i-Raal, a pharmacopoeial ointment, treats various types of ulcers and wounds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Objectives&lt;/strong&gt;: The present study evaluates the quality control, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties of Marham-i-Raal.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: The quality control parameters, including loss of weight on drying, pH, total ash value, acid-insoluble ash value, heavy metal analysis, microbial load, and high-performance thin-layer chromatography of Marham-i-Raal, were carried out. Moreover, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Marham-i-Raal were also investigated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The quality control findings of Marham-i-Raal, including weight loss on drying, pH, total ash value, acid-insoluble ash value, heavy metal analysis, and microbial load, were found within the normal limits. The antimicrobial study of Marham-i-Raal has shown promising effects against gram-positive bacteria and Candida albicans. The antioxidant effects of the test drug were also found to be significant at higher concentrations against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2&amp;rsquo;-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic) acid methods.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The standards developed for the quality control of Marham-i-Raal may be referred to in the future for further studies. This important Unani ointment may be clinically used to treat non-healing ulcers and wounds.&lt;/div&gt;</abstract>
