Abstract

Background: Wound healing is a complex process of tissue repair that occurs in response to an injury. Plants and plant-derived elements are well explored in the treatment of various types of wounds. Curcumin is a natural polyphenolic substance that has been used since ancient times in Ayurveda for its healing properties, as it reduces inflammation and acts on the various healing stages of the wound. Materials & Methods:  Curcuma longa has been told in various mentions by our acharyas for its different actions on the body. It has been widely used in the wound management since ages due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and quick wound healing effect. This activity was elicited in comparison with Kamilosan (German remedy) in albino rats. Results: The present study emphasises on the effect of Curcuma longa L aiding in wound healing through quickening of formation of granulation tissue with complete laying of collagen. Massive proliferation of mature connective tissue was seen on 8th day. Complete healing with matured skin formation was observed on the 12th day. Conclusion: The study thus proves that curcuma longa has a very good effect on wound healing through various pharmacological actions making it more acceptable than any other topical drugs.
