A Review Of Indian Plants With Wound Healing Property

Abstract

Wounds are caused by damage to the outermost layer of the skin that affects the epidermal tissue. The Wound Healing Society defines a wound as physical injury that induces an opening or break in the skin, disrupting its normal structure, function, and mechanism. Wound healing is defined as a complicated, dynamic process that restores anatomic continuity and function. This process often involves the use of various plants that possess antibacterial, antioxidant, antiseptic, and healing properties. Most of the pharmaceuticals used for the wound healing process are derived from plants, which have substantial potential for wound management and treatment. India offers a diverse range of plants with potential wound-healing properties. This review aims to compile specific Indian plants documented for their wound healing properties, along with their botanical name, family, part used, and wound model.
