Wound healing remains a complex clinical problem so appropriate and effective wound care is essential. Much work is focused on wound care, emphasizing new therapies and technologies for the care of acute and chronic wounds. Hydrogel film has enormous potential as an ideal alternative to traditional wound dressings such as gauze. This is mainly due to its three-dimensional (3D) cross-linked polymer network, which has a high water content that promotes a moist environment that supports effective burn healing. In addition, the hydrogel facilitates the penetration of loaded therapeutic substances to the entire wound surface, fights against burn pathogens with its moisturizing effect, and thus improves the healing process. Herbal crude drugs often contain bioactive compounds with inherent healing properties, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing agents. Natural ingredients reduce the risk of allergic reactions, skin sensitization, or other adverse events commonly associated with synthetic compounds. This comprehensive review examines herbs used for wound healing, innovation in moist wound management, efficacy, fabrication methods, advantages, and applications of hydrogel film.
