thanks a lot about your answers, but I want a plant which can be used to speed up wound healing with increase the CELL SIGNALING and protein production. aloe vera due to own acid salicylic can improve the speed of cellular signaling, Please, recommend some plants with this performance.
I don't Know for which aim you need such herbs, but plants which are full in tannins may be good choise. Tannins irreversibly link protein chains and have astringent action on the skin. Hence, they have anti-inflammatory, styptic, counterirritant, and weakly antibacterial effects and prevent the excess secretion of mucus.for example oak fruits and gall, rhubarb, witch hazel leaves, cinnamon bark ,... contain tannin and are commonly used in formulations prepared for skin problems, however, there are other compounds which are useful in skin problems
In my opinion, the plants which pose astringent property you can use it for wound healing purpose. Usually plants with astringent property will show anti-inflammatory property. So, wound is also a type of inflammation.
Dear Tasinov some medicinal plants may cause special adverse effects when they are used internally but they are safe for external use. I do not think Cotinus coggygria can cause liver problems in external use.
the best way that has been used in wound healing in Indian household is turmeric and has proven effect in wound healing. Another plant that is being used in wounds due to burns are peels of banana and potato. The very best and cheap way of using it.
Curcuma longa (tumeric as mentioned by Aparna Ektare) and also Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. (javanese tumeric) commonly used various therapeutic applications such as blood purifying, wound healing, inflammatory disorders, anticarcinogenic effects, and serum cholesterol-lowering. You just use the rhizome of those plants. You could blender it as juice. I used to consume both of them as fresh drink in simply way. Slicing the rhizome into pieces, drying, and then boiling with water. You drink it as tea. If you don't like the taste just add sugar or honey. It is really good for health. Good luck
Turmeric, coffee, etc are well accepted and being used from thousands of years. they are known to have antibacterial,antiseptic activity. Oral use of turmaric also speeds up the healing. But apart from this all type of wound, allergies shown by individual to specific ingredient due to which the plant may have to be kept apart are the questions where such situation occurs.
I have found very good polyherbal formulation containing azadirachta indica , berberis vulgaris extract curcuma longa , glycyrrhiza glabra and many other crude drug extracts that is in indian market named septiloc (venus remedies) but nowadays it is not available i dont why? it was very fast effective wound healer. i have seen development from bone to normal skin within 1.5 month.
wow, exciting, but dear Savalia, Think that this formula is available in India right now, but for example we don't have Azadirachta indica or maybe some plants of this formula in another countries like Iran or europe. I want to know some plants which can use for wound treatment that are available.
A opinion of old medicine of some city of iran is that the root of hypericum perforatum is so useful for this problem,but I have not tested it. what's your opinion of this?
I just saw the answers. A decoction germinated Triticum vulgare (wild wheat ) is marketed by an Italian company several years ago was found to be effective for rapid wound healing. As far as I know, the active principle/s has not identified. I worked in this extract for a couple of months and isolated some flavonoids like leutolin. But the activity was in polar fraction and I did not proceed further due to the complexity of the polar fraction
Dear Abdulkhader, I think the flavonoids and other active substances on this plant (Triticum vulgare) can rapid wound healing by increasing cellular signals which leads to increase protein production. what's your opinion?
Could be. The extract was prepared by leeching with dilute acid (The process of making the extract was not given by the company. We fractionated extract into low, medium and high polar. Animal studies showed the high polar fractions containing polysachharides or proteins in the extract is more active. It was several years back when I was doing PhD in Belgium.
I am searching a new idea for changing the method of wound treatment, like increase cellular signaling or ... , So, I need a sign, by the grace of God :-)
Two herbal oils that I personally use for wound healing on me and my family are Moringa seed oil and Lavender essential oil. I make a blend of the two. It works wonders. Here are some references to studies that may provide you with information so you can make your own educated evaluation. Good luck with your research.

Article Medicinal plants and their components for wound healing applications
In Croatian ethnobotany, ethnomedicine and ethno-pharmacology usually the plant species from the family of Plantaginaceae, genus of Plantago, species Plantago major and rarely, because of smaller width of its leaves Plantago lanceolata are recommended for wound healing but only for small wounds (cuts). Usually, for harder wounds the people were using Veronca spicata (also Plantaginaceae) However, for wound infections Callendula officinalis family of Asteraceae is highly valued antiseptic because of chemical composition of its essential oils and Satureja montana and S. subspicata family of Lamiaceae.
