  • Abstract:
  • Numerous people around the world experience chronic wounds. Strong evidence for the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity effects of essential oils (EO) is widely documented in the literature, and their chemical make-up is well understood. In this article, we will discuss the evidence for essential oil in artificial wounds and the potential for combining it with biopolymers frequently employed in skin regeneration. Rodent wounds responded favorably to treatments using essential oils from the species Lavandula, Eucalyptus, marigold, tea tree, and clove. These EO were all mostly made of monoterpenoids. There is substantial data supporting the effectiveness of EO in the treatment of wounds.
