HERBAL THERAPY FOR CUT AND WOUND: A NEW ERA OF SOLUTION.
- Authors
Shukla, Rajesh
- Abstract
There are different types of cut and wounds which range from mild to potentially fatal. India has a rich tradition of plant-based acquaintance on healthcare. Herbs for treating cuts, scratches, and abrasions include those that help fight infectious microbes, decrease inflammation, soothe the pain, and help the wound to heal.A large number of plants/plant extracts/decoctions or pastes are equally used by tribals and folklore traditions in India for treatment of cuts, wounds, and burns. Therapeutic treatment of wound includes administration of drugs either locally (topical) or systemically (oral or parenteral) in an attempt to aid wound repair. Wounds are the result of injuries to the skin that disrupt the other soft tissue. Certain herbal remedies may offer relief from symptoms and help wounds heal faster. Herbs are generally available as dried extracts (pills, capsules, or tablets), teas, or tinctures (alcohol extraction, unless otherwise noted). Recent scientific evidences and clinical trials conducted using traditional herbal medicine in wound therapy holds good promise in the future.
