Abstract:
The ethanolic leaves extract of Vernonia scorpioides was investigated for its wound healing activity in guinea pigs. Administered once a day for 30 days, 200 mg of a hydrogel containing 50% of extract did not accelerate the closure time, but improved regeneration and organization of the new tissue.
