Abstract :
Wound healing is a complex physiological process that involves a sequence of events such as hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in utilizing plant-based formulations for wound care due to their biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, and minimal side effects.[1]Tridax procumbens, a medicinal herb traditionally used in various cultures, is reputed for its wound-healing, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. This research focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a topical gel incorporating an extract of Tridax procumbens. The gel was prepared using suitable gelling agents and was subjected to physicochemical evaluation including pH, viscosity, spreadability, and stability studies.[2] Phytochemical screening of the plant extract revealed the presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins, which are known to play significant roles in promoting tissue repair and preventing microbial contamination. The preliminary findings suggest that the Tridax procumbens gel possesses favorable characteristics for topical application and demonstrates potential as a natural therapeutic option in wound management. Further studies are recommended to establish its efficacy through biological and clinical evaluations. [3]
