A STUDY ON SYNERGESTIC WOUND HEALING ACTIVITY OF CAPSICUM AND PIGEON PEA

A study to investigate the use of aqueous extracts of poly herbs in promoting wound healing on experimentally induced open wound in albino rats was conducted. The wound healing activity of aqueous extract of the leaves from Cajanus cajan (AECc) and Capsicum annum (AECa), was evaluated by the rats of healing by wound concentration and period of epithelization at different days post- wound using the wound excision model. On day 9th, the mixture of AECc and AECa –treated animals exhibited significative reduction in the wound area than individual plant extracts when compared with standard drug silver sulphadiazine.
