The wound healing property of polyherbal formulation containing the extract of Psidium guajava and Ficus religiosa was evaluated in excision and burn wound model. The formulation responded significantly in both the wound models tested. The results were comparable in terms of wound contracting ability and epithelialization time. Thus, this exploration confirms the use of formulation containing the extract of Psidium guajava and Ficus religiosa as a wound healing agent.

Abstract


The wound healing property of polyherbal formulation containing the extract of Psidium guajava and Ficus religiosa was evaluated in excision and burn wound model. The formulation responded significantly in both the wound models tested. The results were comparable in terms of wound contracting ability and epithelialization time. Thus, this exploration confirms the use of formulation containing the extract of Psidium guajava and Ficus religiosa as a wound healing agent.
