Experimental evaluation of the healing potential of Sesuvium portulacastrum in excisional wounds in wistar rats
A 10% S. portulacastrum gel promoted wound healing with enhanced collagen deposition and re-epithelialization, showing effects comparable to Nebacetin. The findings support S. portulacastrum as a promising, low-cost, and potentially sustainable therapeutic alternative and reinforce the value of Caatinga biodiversity.
