Abstract

Abstract: Wound healing is a complex process of recovering the forms & functions of injured tissues. The process is tightly regulated by multiple growth factors & cytokines released at the wound site. Any alternations that disrupt the healing process would worsen the tissue damage and prolong repair process. Various conditions may contribute to impaired wound healing including infections underlying diseases and medications. Salves, or ointments, are topical products in which the herbs are extracted into vegetable oils by maceration at either room temperature for a specified length of time, in a low heat infusion or in a higher heat decoction. Numerous studies on the potential of natural products with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties as wound healing agents have been performed .Their medicinal properties can be contributed by the content of phytochemical constituents such as Azadirachta indica (Neem leaves),Triticum (wheats), Vitis vinifera(Grape seeds),Helianthus annus (sunflower seeds), Oryza sativa (brown rice)
