Abstract

The ethanolic extract of Cinnamomum camphora leaves (100mg/kg/day for 16 days) was evaluated for its wound healing activity in rats using excision, incision and dead space wound models. Extract treated animal’s exhibit 95% reduction in wound area when compared to controls which was 84%. The extract treated wounds are found to epithelize faster as compared to controls. The wet and dry granulation tissue weight including Hydroxyproline, elastin and collagen tissue content increased significantly (P< 0.001) when compared with control.

Keywords: Excision wound, Dead space wound, incision, Hydroxyproline, elastin, collegan
