Abstract
Herbal medicines have become popular for healthcare. The consumption of such formulations and botanicals has increased in recent years. Herbal products are defined as herbal medicines that are administered to patients and are mixtures of herbal substances. In the preparation of herbal formulation various parts of plants are used such as roots, bark, stem, seeds, fruit, leaves etc. The various parts of the plants contain different constituents which have different pharmacological effects. Recently, the traditional use of plants for wound healing has received attention by the scientific community. Approximately one-third of all traditional medicines in use are for the treatment of wounds and skin disorders, compared to only 1-3 % of modern drugs. Medicinal plants are coming into prominence because of the conventional medicine such as antibiotics which have developed resistance to many of the infection organisms which no longer responsive to conventional medicines. Herbal preparation can be more effective and safer than conventional medicines.
