Abstract
Wound healing has emerged as a major treatment issue which has provoked the development of drugs that can improve the healing process. Studies using plant drugs have revealed many interesting results about existing commercial drugs. Effective wound healing leads to the restoration of tissue integrity and occurs through a highly organized multistage. Use of plant-derived medicines against excision, incision, and dead space models accelerates the wound healing process, which is briefly discussed in a manner to be followed easily during experimental sessions.
