A Detailed Assessment Of Medicinal Plants In Wound Healing In Rats

Abstract

A wound is a physical trauma that involves tearing, cutting, or puncturing the skin. A microorganism enters the site upon exposure to air, causing wound contamination and ultimately a spread of infection. Healing process is very complicated and involves various steps- inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. There are underlying factors that affect the process of wound healing like age, sex, infection, stress etc. Wound healers, a substance that accelerates the pace of healing, are in demand since the healing process is sluggish and delayed. Due to their adverse effects, several synthetic medications used to treat wounds are restricted and we chose medicinal plants over synthetic ones. Here in this review, we enlisted various medicinal plants as wound healers and this has gained much importance due to its various bioactive constituents present. This review article focuses on wound healing in different rat models by the use of various medicinal plants.
