Abstract

Burn is a major clinical concern in the developing and poor countries. Now-a-days the treatment of burn in an effective way is a great challenge. It has already been established that amniotic membrane and Moringa oleifera, a medicinal plant, are a great focus of interest for burn wound healing. Amniotic membrane is a natural gift which promotes faster wound healing in partial and superficial burn injury since 1910. It has prominent characteristics in the management of burn injury such as availability, economical concern, faster wound healing, pain reduction and provide protection from the infection. Furthermore, Moringa oleifera also promotes wound healing process, wound contraction and increases the rate of epithelialization due to their astringent and antimicrobial properties and the bioactive compound vicenin-2. As the burn healing process is time consuming, recently patients are suffering from the various difficulties such as slow epithelialization rate, poor dressing, staying in the hospital for long time. Therefore, the focus of this review is to explore the combined effects of amniotic membrane and Moringa oleifera for faster wound healing in the
