  • Abstract:
  • The fruit of Illicium verum has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine and food industry with the actions of dispelling cold, relievingpain, antispasmodic, expectorants,aromatic,antiseptic,diuretic,antiinflammatory stimulant, as well as diaphoretic properties.The present study was aimed for wound healing potential of ethanolic extract of Illicium verum (fruit part) by using various wound models, The results were comparable to standard in terms of wound contraction, tensile strength,and biochemical parameters such as hydroxyproline content, protein level, etc.significant (P < 0.05) increase in fibroblast cells, collagen fibres and blood vessels formation. All parameters were observed significant (P < 0.05) in comparison to control group. Aim of the review: This review summarizes the up-to-date and comprehensive information concerning the botany, traditional use, phytochemistry and pharmacology of Illicium verum together with the toxicology, and discusses the possible trend and scope for future research of Illicium verum.
