Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the in vivo wound healing potential of Themeda triandra Forssk. The extraction of Themeda triandra Forssk was carried out using a Soxhlet apparatus, a method known for extracting active compounds from plant materials. Once the extract was obtained, an ointment formulation containing the extract was prepared for application. The objective of the study was to assess the wound healing activity of the ointment when applied topically to wounds. The experimental setup involved creating controlled wounds on an appropriate animal model. The ointment containing the Themeda triandra Forssk extract was then applied to the wounds. After the application, the size and condition of the wounds were measured and recorded daily to track the healing progress. These measurements were essential in quantifying the rate of wound closure and the overall effectiveness of the ointment in promoting tissue repair. The results of the study indicated that the application of Themeda triandra Forssk ointment significantly accelerated the healing process. The wound area progressively reduced over the course of the study, demonstrating the plant‟s potential as a natural remedy for wound healing. The observed results suggest that Themeda triandra Forssk. possesses bioactive compounds that aid in tissue regeneration and wound closure, In conclusion, the study highlights the promising therapeutic potential of Themeda triandra Forssk As a natural wound healing agent. Further research could explore the specific bioactive components responsible for these effects and their mechanisms of action in wound healing.
