Wound healing and tissue regeneration are complex biological processethat remain highly relevant in modern medicine and pharmaceutical sciences. The increasing prevalence of chronic wounds and the limitations associated with synthetic drugs have led to growing interest in natural therapeutic agents. Herbal ointments, derived from medicinal plants, have gained significant attention due to their safety, bioavailability, and multifunctional pharmacological properties. This article provides a comprehensive review of wound types, the physiological mechanisms of wound healing, and the role of herbal ointments in enhancing tissue regeneration.
