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.
