Abstract
Surgical Science is one of the branches of medical science that deals with surgical and medicinal interventions, which can cure surgical wounds, cuts, burns and so on. The accelerated recovery process has always been a concern for surgeons and physicians. Standard local antibiotic drugs such as silver nitrate, mafenide acetate, sulfadiazine silver and AgNO3 are also used to treat wounds which are associated with some complications. Considering the fact that no effective herbal remedy has been introduced for wound healing, the purpose of this review is to investigate and identify indigenous Iranian herbs used for wound healing after surgery, especially burn wounds. In this systematic review paper, published articles in the period 1952 to 2017 with keywords of surgery, wound healing, burns, herbs, etc. from databases such as SID, MEDLIB, ProQuest, Magiran, Europe PubMed Central and Google Scholar. Abstract and title of all articles were studied and non-relevant articles were deleted and remaining articles were used for review. Based on the results of the study, Malva sylvestris, Camellia sinensis, Aloe vera, Cydonia oblonga, Scrophularia striata, Centella asiatica, Arnebia euchroma, Calendula officinalis and Hypericum perforatum are the most important herbal remedies for burn restoration. The following is an explanation of the most important herbal remedies for native burn wounds in Iran.

Summary
Surgery is one of the branches of medicine that along with surgical and pharmacotherapeutic interventions can treat surgical wounds, cuts and burns, etc. One of the goals of surgery and medicine is wound healing in shorter time and with less complications [3]. Standard topical antibiotic drugs such as silver nitrate, mafenide acetate and silver sulfadiazine are used to treat wounds yet they may cause certain complications [8,9]. One of the most common antibiotic drug used for burns is sulfadiazine cream which causes many side effects including lack of penetration into the wound, resistance to gram-negative microorganisms, delayed repair of small burn wounds due to decreased pigmentation and epithelization [10]. The rate of wound infection decreases with increasing the rate of wound restoration, and in this way the overall wound healing process will be accelerated [11]. From ancient time the preparation of the ointment has been considered for the relief of pain and accelerating recovery of burn wounds by the medical community
