In developing countries they pose a large threat to public health and contribute to the
prevalence of malnutrition, anaemia, eosinophilia, and pneumonia. Wounds are generally produced by physical, chemical, thermal,
microbial or immunological insult to the tissues. The process of wound healing consists of integrated cellular and biochemical events
leading to reestablishment of structural and functional integrity with regain of strength of injured tissues. The fresh leaves and extracts of
Chromolaena odorata are used as traditional herbal treatments for burns, soft tissue wounds and skin infections. The present study
reveals that the methanolic extract of the leaf part of Chromolaena odorata Linn has got promising effectiveness in the treatment of
helmintic infections as well as wound healing process.
