ABSTRACT
In hospitals, there is a growing incidence of skin injuries that necessitate effective treatment. Antimicrobial reliance is costly and, at times, ineffective, necessitating the development of alternative methods. As an alternative, medicinal plants with wound-healing properties could be utilized. A number of indigenous Indonesian medicinal plants, such as Anredera cordifolia, Sanseviera trifasciata, Psidium guajava, Curcuma longa, Centella asiatica, Annona muricata, and Ocimum basilicum, have been scientifically validated to possess wound-healing properties via various mechanisms. Therefore, this review article is aimed to describe the potential therapeutic attributes of a variety of indigenous Indonesian plants that promote wound healing.
