Abstract

Jati (Jasminum grandiflorum) stands as the most beautiful and fragrant flower in Asia. With its five delicate petals, it is a powerhouse of fragrance that actively boosts happiness and positivity. The Sanskrit Samhita recognizes Jati as the flower of God, making it a favored choice of Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi. This perennial climbing shrub with striking white flowers is extensively cultivated across India. Wound healing is an important process in the regeneration of lost tissue. It involves various steps. Varieties of substances are known to interact in the healing process, and some of the plant products are found to be beneficial. Jasmine leaves are mentioned to have a healing effect in ancient literature. Ethanol, the extract of the stem of J. grandiflorum, has wound healing properties, and the root extract has demonstrated analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, various extracts show antibacterial and antifungal activity against gram-positive bacteria. These actions are also observed in the ancient era, and in Samhita kala, it is named as Rakta-doshashamaka, Vranaropan, Vranashodhan, Visarpaghan, Shothaghna, Vishaghna, and Kushathaghna, etc.
