Abstract

Wounds are the result of damages or injuries that disturb the normal structure of the skin tissue. Wound healing is a natural but a protracted and complex process of tissue repairing, regenerating, and remodelling in response to wounding injury. Various plant products have been used in the treatment of wounds over the years. Compounds that are derived from medicinal plants need to be identified, screened and analyzed for its antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, and wound healing activity. Wound healing phytochemical compounds fights infection, promotes blood clotting, and accelerate the healing process. Numerous phytochemical compounds have been identified and synthesized from medicinal plants that have unique properties associated with the mechanism of wound healing. This review focus on the plant-derived phytochemical compounds that promote wound healing process.
