Andrographis in Accelerated Wound Healing with Lesser Scar

Andrographis paniculata is also known as Andrographis, is a herbaceous plant, genus Andrographis, belonging to the family Acanthaceae, native to India and Sri Lanka, used in traditional Siddha and Ayurvedic in treating the common cold, flu, upper respiratory infections, infectious diseases, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, pneumonia,.. .....

Wound healing is a natural response to restore injured tissues.

Andrographis paniculata leaf showed to process a significant wound healing effect in restoring injured tissues, a mentioned institute suggested.

According to the Universiti Teknologi MARA, the topical application of Andrographis paniculata exerted a strong effect on the rate of wound enclosure with markedly less scar width and contained large amounts of fibroblast proliferation.

In a study of the wound created in four groups of rats in the posterior neck region. Blank placebo applied topically to the wounds of Group 1 and Groups 2 and 3 dressed with placebo containing 5% and 10% extracts of A. paniculata, groups treated with topical showed a rate of wound healing significantly accelerated in the wound dressed compared to the placebo group.


The wound healing is also increased collagen and less formation of new blood vessels with the absence of inflammatory cells.

Another study, in the evaluation of the effects of andrographis wound healing activity of Swiss Wistar strain rats with either sex with topical application, 2%w/w ointment of ethanol extract and petroleum ether extract prepared in 2% w/w PEG-4000 in comparison to the left untreated control group, treatment groups showed a faster rate of complete healing in day 12 after topical application with wound contractions in petroleum ether extract, ethanolic extract was at 10.17 and 16.33, respectively.

Dr. Arnabaditya Mohanty, the lead authors in the joint study said, "Andrographis paniculate ethanolic extract possesses better wound healing property in comparison to control and also with petroleum ether extract".

Taking together, topical application of Andrographis paniculata leaf and extract may be used as a wound-healing agent in accelerated restored injured tissues with lesser scar without induced adverse effects.
