A Review on Wound Healing Activity of Tridax Procumbens, Ficus Religiosa, Pelargonium Graveolens

Wound healing is considered to be the beneficial cellular and biological components that divide the scale in an effort to improve wound healing. Wound healing is defined as physiological phase and delayed wound healing will increase the risk of microorganism infection. Improved wound healing is done by reducing the time required for healing or to reduce the risk of miscarriage. So the researchers today are emphasizing on evolution & characterization of various plants & plant constituents against different diseases. The essential uses of many plants have been worked out & published but many useful and valuable plants are still unexplored upto date. There are some plants are Tridax procumbens, Ficus religiosa and Pelargonium graveolens. It has been used to treat wounds, skin disorder and to stop blood clotting in traditional medicines.
