Preparation and Evaluation of Wound Healing Herbal Ointment

Abstract

The use of herbal medicines for wound healing has been widely recognized in traditional practices and modern studies. Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves the restoration of tissue integrity following injury. The use of topical ointments in wound care is a common therapeutic approach to accelerate healing, reduce infection, and minimize scarring. This study explores the formulation and efficacy of a herbal wound healing ointment composed of natural ingredients with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and regenerative properties. This research focuses on the formulation of a herbal wound healing ointment, combining a range of bioactive herbs such as Neem, Hibiscus, Chamomile, Aloevera, Turmeric and extraction of mangifera indica. The ointment exhibited significant improvement in wound healing parameters, including faster epithelial growth, reduced inflammation, and prevention of infection compared to standard treatments. This study supports the potential of this herbal ointment as an effective, natural alternative for treating wounds, particularly in minor burns, cuts, and abrasions. The findings suggest that the herbal ointment offers a safe and effective alternative to conventional treatments, with a focus on natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin and free from synthetic chemicals.
