Herbs have been integral to both traditional and non-traditional forms of medicine dating back at least 5000 years. The enduring popularity of herbal medicines may be explained by the perception that herbs cause minimal unwanted side effects. More recently, scientists increasingly rely on modern scientific methods and evidence-based medicine to prove efficacy of herbal medicines and focus on better understanding of mechanisms of their action. However, information concerning quantitative human health benefits of herbal medicines is still rare or dispersed, limiting their proper valuation. Preparations from traditional medicinal plants are often used for wound healing purposes covering a broad area of different skin-related diseases. Herbal medicines in wound management involve disinfection, debridement, and provision of a suitable environment for aiding the natural course of healing. Here we report on 22 plants used as wound healing agents in traditional medicine around the world. The aim of this review is therefore to review herbal medicines, which pose great potential for effective treatment of minor wounds.

Acne is a prevalent skin condition that affects a considerable portion of the population, primarily teenagers and young adults. In most cases, it causes pimples on the face, neck, and upper back. A variety of red and flaky skin patches, as well as blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, and pustules, characterize this condition. Acne has a significant cutaneous and psychological illness burden, and its pathophysiology and current therapies are challenging. The severity of acne varies, and some people are more likely to get it because of their genes. Acne inflammation has been linked to the pus-forming bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne). In the past century, many treatment options have been available in the market that could be taken in oral or topical treatment options. Plant extracts that are useful in treating acne have recently gained popularity as a natural acne treatment alternative. This article aims to discover how antibacterial herbal medicines work against the things that cause acne vulgaris. Pathogenic reasons are high sebum production, pilosebaceous duct calcification, dysbiosis, and inflammation. As part of the treatment, synthetic drugs with significant side effects must be taken continuously throughout the year. Because of this, the safest, most effective medications are needed for therapy. Medications made from plant extracts, such as herbal ones, are a safe alternative to synthetic drugs. The herbal plants in this article are research-based, using active components of the plants that have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties and reduce sebum production to help treat or alleviate acne. Hence, herbal therapy aims to give people access to safe, effective, and cost- effective medicines. The current review summarizes different herbal products' roles in treating acne, where many databases were gathered and searched to find every medicinal plant with anti-acne action and provide effective treatment options for individuals who opt to consider herbal medication for acne

“…The results were finally quantified by PAGE study with estimation of protein synthesis in which it was found that proteins with different molecular weight on the variations in different days were synthesised indicating its potentiality in triggering the cell signalling system for successful healing of the wounds. A pilot clinical study on selected six patients of lower extremity wounds was evaluated with 15% paste of the drug under ointment base and significant (p < 0.01) improvement was observed (Figure 2) on the basis of the granulation and epithelialisation [22]. The drug has been patented officially and now being marketed either as single ingredient or in combined form for the purpose of wound healing.…”

Worldwide Wound Healing - Innovation in Natural and Conventional Methods

Description of wound healing is a recent concern of modern surgery and medical therapeutics, but first evidences are available in ancient Indian system of medicine, namely Ayurveda in the name of Vrana (wounds) and Vranaropaka (wound healing drugs). It has been reported that in different classical Ayurvedic texts, about 164 medicinal plants, 24 metals and minerals and 18 animal products are described for their wound healing activity. The mechanism of the healing process and the selection of drugs from natural resources are very specific in Ayurveda, and some of these have been scientifically screened. Besides a single component of drug, many classical formulations either in the form of polyherbal or herbo-minerals have been cited in Ayurveda from time to time since pre-vedic era to recent modern time. Many traditional folkloric preparations of India were also later on incorporated in Ayurveda utilizing sources of some pockets of Ayurveda in different parts of the country. Chronological development of these drugs on the basis of physical, molecular and clinical parameters is elaborated vividly with some examples of experimentation like Curcuma longa, Pterocarpus santalinus, Cynodon dactylon and a composed formulation named Kshantak Malam.
