Abstract

The process of wound healing involves a synchronized series of cellular and biochemical stages that work together to support the recovery of the damaged tissue. The complexity of tissue healing makes wound care difficult. The three stages of healing are remodelling, proliferative, and inflammatory. Antibiotics, antiseptics, and extracts are among the treatments; nevertheless, synthetic medications have drawbacks. Plant-based compositions for the efficient healing of wounds are gaining popularity. Studies showing numerous discovered mechanisms for better healing have reinforced the growing recognition of medicinal plants' ability to heal wounds with fewer side effects, especially in diabetic, infected, or open wounds. Many medicinal plants, including Aloe Vera , Centella asiatica, Neem, Tulsi, Achiote (BixaOrellana)have shown promise in healing wounds. The effectiveness of medicinal plants in excision and incision wound healing is examined in this review, which focuses on in-vivo models.

Keywords: Aloe Vera, Centella asiatica, Neem, Tulsi, Achiote (Bixa Orellana) and Wound Healing
