Ethnopharmacological Studies of Some Wound Healing Plants among Folklore

A large number of plants/plant extracts decoctions; infusions are used by folklore to treat cuts, wounds and burns. The present work thus is an attempt to analyze the ethno botanical knowledge based treatment of cuts and wounds. A large number of plants used by folklore with enormous potentials have not been validated for their wound healing activities. This work therefore, attempts to bridge the lacunae in the validation of the traditional claims and development of safe and effective herbal ayurvedic drugs for treating cuts and wounds.
