Abstract
Wound healing is a dynamic biological process that occurs through a sequence of interrelated cellular and molecular events, including inflammation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. Since ancient times, medicinal plants have been widely used in the management of wounds due to their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Numerous plant-derived phytoconstituents have been reported to enhance tissue regeneration and promote faster wound closure. This review highlights important medicinal plants, their bioactive compounds, possible mechanisms involved in wound repair, and available scientific evidence supporting their wound healing potential. The integration of herbal medicines into modern wound care practices may provide effective, economical, and safer therapeutic options.
