HERBAL ELIXIR FOR WOUNDS: FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF A SKIN CREAM WITH WOUND HEALING ACTIVITY

Аннотация

The present study aims to formulate and evaluate an herbal skin cream with wound healing activity. Herbal remedies have long been utilized for their potential in promoting tissue repair and wound closure. In this research, a skin cream was developed using a combination of herbal extracts known for their wound healing properties. The formulated cream was subjected to a series of in vitro and in vivo evaluations to assess its efficacy in wound healing. In vitro assays included cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and antimicrobial activity, while in vivo studies involved excision and incision wound models in animals. The results demonstrated that the herbal skin cream significantly enhanced cell proliferation, collagen production, and exhibited antimicrobial properties. Moreover, the in vivo models exhibited accelerated wound healing, reduced scar formation, and improved tissue regeneration compared to control groups. This study presents a promising formulation of an herbal skin cream with potent wound healing properties, underscoring the potential of natural remedies in advancing wound care treatments.
