Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process involving various biological
mechanisms that can be disrupted by factors such as contagion,
inflammation, and postponed tissue repair. The effectiveness of
medicinal herbs, which have historically been used to cure wounds, has
recently been investigated. The phytochemical constituents of
medicinal plants such as flavonoids, alkaloids & terpenoids have been
presented to possess antioxidant, anti- inflammatory & antimicrobial
aspect that can promote tissue repair and prevent infection. In addition,
some plant extracts have demonstrated the ability to modulate immune
responses, promote angiogenesis, and enhance collagen synthesis, all
of which are critical for wound healing. In this review, we've tried to
provide some background information on the several plants with possible wound-healing
qualities that may be useful in clinical settings. However, despite the promising results, more
study is needed to start the optimal dosage, safety, and mechanism of action of these plants.
The integration of traditional knowledge and modern scientific methods may provide
valuable insights into the wound healing prospective of therapeutic plants and improve their
use in wound care.
