Abstract

The goal of the current research was to examine the potential for Glycyrrhiza glabra L., (a member of the Fabaceae family) root extract to treat wounds. Using excision and burn wound models, the ethanolic root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra was assessed for its wound healing efficacy in rats. When compared to the control group, which had a wound area of 28%, the extract-treated animals showed reductions in the wound area of 73% and 92%, respectively (5% and 10%w/w). In the excision model, it was discovered that extract-treated wounds epithelialized more quickly and contracted at a higher rate than control wounds. Histopathological research provided additional proof of this. Studies on wound contractions found that as the concentration of herbal extracts rises, so do the wound contractions. Both types come preinstalled with mupirocin. In diabetic rats, Glycyrrhiza glabra significantly speeds up wound healing; additional research into this effect in people is advised.
