Wound healing is a complex physiological process which includes highly organized cellular, humoral and molecular mechanisms. Delayed wound healing presents a huge challenge not just for the patient but also for the healthcare system in general. One of the many ways in which this challenge can be tackled is to use herbal medicines and development which have been commonly used for centuries in folk medicine. Many herbal formulations have been reported to accelerate the process of wound healing by enhancing epithelization, neovascularization, formation of granulation tissue, collagen synthesis, wound contraction, tensile strength in experimental wound models. This review gives an overview of experimental pre-clinical studies related to phytotherapeutic approaches to wound healing. It also includes description of medicinal plants and responsible phytoconstituents like tannins and flavonoids used to cure and treat wounds.
