Botanicalswith antioxidant or free radicalscavengingactivity thus can play asignificant role in healing of wounds [11] .The aim of treating wounds is to shortenthe time taken for healing and to reducerisks of undesired complications [12] .The wound healing activities of plantshave been explored in folklore. Plantspromote therepairmechanisms in the natural way. Herbalmedicines in wound management involvedisinfection, debridement and providinga moist environment to encourage theestablishment of the suitable environmentfor natural healing process [13] . Extensiveresearch has been carried out in the areaof wound healing management throughmedicinal plants. Topical applications ofcompounds with free-radical-scavengingproperties in patients have shownimproved wound healing activity andalso protect tissues from oxidativedamage [14]In this review an attempt has been madeto explore medicinal plants havingpotential wound healing and antioxidantproperties which could be beneficial intherapeutic practice and helpful forresearcher to develop new Woundhealing formulations for human use. Alist of plants possessing both woundhealing and antioxidant properties ispresented in table1 with their botanicalname, family, part used andcorresponding reference.Conclusion:Many plants used traditionally intreatment of wound also have potentialantioxidant activity. This review helpsthe researchers to explore plants for thetreatment of wounds with novelantioxidant activity that could bebeneficial in therapeutic practice.Volume 3, Issue 4, July − August 201333 | P a g ehttp://www.ijpi.org
