Abstract

Wounds is a loss or breaking of cellular and anatomic or functional continuity of the deep skin tissue or the living tissues and can be caused by physical, chemical, thermal, viral, microbial, violence or the immunological trauma to the surface of the skin. Wound healing is a complex process that can be divided into at least 3 continuous and overlapping processes: an inflammatory reaction, a proliferative process leading to tissue restoration, and, eventually, tissue remodeling. The term ―herbal drug‖ determines the part/parts of a plant (leaves, flowers, seeds roots, barks, stems and etc.) used for preparing medicines. The discovery of herbals is further complemented with knowledge on the method of isolation, purification, characterization of active ingredients and type of preparation.
