In contemporary era medicinal plants have tremendous contribution in the healthcare system as a source of medicine to the rural population because plants are having nutritional as well as medicinal values. Literature of medicinal plants in ayurvedic classics is in scrupulous detail but it is randomly distributed. Even in Nighantu classics we found limited descriptions. To get thorough knowledge about any medicinal herb it is essential to go through all classical Ayurveda texts. Madanphala (Randia dumetorum Lam). is onymous as a usual drug of choice for Ayurvedic physicians since past due to its therapeutic properties like emetic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antihelmenthic, immunomodulatory, analgesic, wound healing etc. It is also useful in the treatment of diseases like kushtha (skin diseases), jwara (fever), shotha (inflammation), vidradhi (abscess), Pratishyaya (common cold). It occurs throughout the India upto 4000 ft. Altitude. It is found in foothills of Himalaya from Jammu to Sikkim, it is seen in Gujarat, Tamilnadu, Bengal and South Maharashtra. Its extract mainly contains glycosides, triterpenoid glycoside, Saponins named as dumentoronin A, B, C, D, E and F etc. Reflecting its therapeutic importance, a review has been done under various aspects of Randia dumetorum lam. Apart from classical ayurvedic textual references; present article enlightens recent research studies carried on this plant for its clinical and pharmacological evaluation.

Desde a antiguidade as plantas medicinais e os extratos vegetais são utilizados no processo de cicatrização de feridas na forma de cataplasma com o objetivo de cessar hemorragias e favorecer a regeneração de tecidos. As plantas são indicadas e utilizadas após um ferimento cutâneo por serem a elas atribuídas propriedades terapêuticas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar plantas utilizadas no processo de cicatrização. Utilizou-se um método de pesquisa bibliográfico, exploratório e descritivo. Realizou-se uma busca de artigos científicos nas bases de dados Science Direct, Google acadêmico, ScieLo, LILACS, BVS, utilizando os descritores previamente consultados no DECs em português: plantas medicinais, cicatrização de feridas e fitoterapia. Estabeleceram-se como critérios de inclusão, produções completas em português que abordavam o assunto proposto entre os anos de 2013 a 2018. Como critérios de exclusão, adotaram-se artigo que apresentaram duplicidade. Foram encontrados 31 estudos, dos quais 22 apresentaram-se fora dos critérios de inclusão. Assim, das 31 publicações elencadas apenas 2 (22,2%) são publicadas em inglês. Ao analisar o tipo de publicação, verificou-se que 4 (44,44%) trata-se de pesquisas experimentais. As plantas abordadas foram a Calêndula, o Barbatimão, a Babosa e a Copaíba, bastante conhecidas como cicatrizantes e reepitelizantes teciduais, apresentadas como sugestão no tratamento de afecções dérmicas contribuindo de forma significativa para melhora e evolução das lesões. Salienta-se a necessidade de novas pesquisas com plantas medicinais para a comprovação da ação no processo de regeneração do tecido.

: Wound healing is a process which starts with inflammatory response after damage occurrence. This process happens by restoring the wound surface coating tissue, migrating fibroblasts to form the needed collagen, forming a healing tissue and finally contortion and extraction of the wound. Today, various drugs are used to heal the wound. However, the used drugs to repair wounds have some defects and side effects. In spite of all attempts to accelerate wound healing definitely, no safe drug has been introduced for this purpose. Therefore, the necessity of identifying herbal plants in ethnopharmacology and ethnobotany documents with healing effect is felt essential. In this article we tried to review and present Iranian effective medicinal plants and herbal compounds used for wound healing. Searching was performed on databases including ISI Web of Science, PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, ISC, SID, Magiran and some other databases. The keywords used included wound healing, skin treatment, medicinal plants, ethnobotany, and phytotherapy. In this regard, 139 effective medicinal plants on wound healing were identified based on ethnopharmacology and ethnobotanical sources of Iran. Medicinal plants such as Salvia officinalis, Echium amoenum, Verbascum spp., G1ycyrrhiza glabra, Medicago sativa, Mentha pulegium, Datura stramonium L., Alhagi spp., Aloe vera, Hypericum perforatum, Pistacia atlantica and Prosopis cineraria were the most important and effective medicinal plants on wound healing in Iran. These native Iranian medicinal plants are full of antioxidants and biological compounds and might be used for wound healing and preparation of new drugs.

Diabetic foot ulcers are one of the most dreadful complications of diabetes mellitus and efforts to accelerate diabetic wound healing are of paramount importance to prevent ulcer infections and subsequent lower-limb amputations. There are several treatment approaches for the management of diabetic foot ulcers and honey seems to be a safe and cost-effective therapeutic approach on top of standard of care. The aim of this review was to summarize the therapeutic properties of honey and the data regarding its possible favorable effects on diabetic wound healing. A literature search of articles from 1986 until April 2021 was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to assess for studies examining the therapeutic wound healing properties of honey, it's in vitro effect, and the efficacy and/or mechanism of action of several types of honey used for the treatment of diabetic animal wounds. Honey has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties and in vitro studies of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, as well as studies in diabetic animal models show that treatment with honey is associated with increased re-epithelialization and collagen production, higher wound contraction, and faster wound healing. The use of honey could be a promising approach for the management of diabetic foot ulcers.
