Abstract
Wounds are major cause of physical disabilities. Wound healing consists of orderly progression of series of events that establish the integrity of the damaged tissues. Indian Aloe (Aloe Vera) leaves pulp is used for medicinal purposes, including treatment of constipation, colitis, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, peptic ulcer, inflammation, heart burn, stress etc. The present study was undertaken on experimental evaluation of Indian Aloe (Aloe Vera) leaves pulp on wound healing activity through topical route on excision wound model. The activity was compared with standard drug Povidone Iodine ointment (5% w/w). Indian Aloe (Aloe Vera) leaves pulp was found to have better and faster wound healing effect than standard drug Povidone Iodine ointment on excision wound model.

Wounds are major cause of physical disabilities
Group I was called as control group, was kept untreated, group II was called as standard group, was treated with market formulation (Povidone Iodine ointment), group III was called as test group, was treated with the pulp of fresh mature leaves of Aloe Vera
3.1 Preliminary Studies: The result of preliminary phytochemical screenings studies for pulp of fresh mature leaves of Aloe Vera is shown in the table 1
Summary
Wounds are major cause of physical disabilities. They arise due to physical, chemical or microbial agents. Restoration of damaged tissue (wound) is an important process which plays vital role in survival of life. It is imminent for the basis of all surgical manipulations[3]. Using certain plants, possessing antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial property the rate of wound healing can be enhanced[4]. Such plant can increase the rate of tissue healing by providing different essential substances, required at various steps of wound healing. Based on the above source of information, the present study aimed to evaluate the wound healing activity of Aloe Vera leaves pulp
