Abstract
ABSTRACT Various plants and natural compounds have been used traditionally to treat and prevent diseases, relieve pain, increase body strength, and heal skin injury. Achillea millefolium is a well-known plant of the Asteraceae family that has been extensively studied for its therapeutic properties in conditions, such as menstrual disorders, malaria, headache, cough, and skin injury. Several studies have shown that the topical application of different types of A. millefolium extracts (essential oil (EO), hydroalcoholic extract, etc.) improves the healing process of various skin injuries. Previous studies also highlighted the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing effects of the A. millefolium extract on ameliorating skin injuries, caused by the presence of various potent constituents in the plant extract. This review aimed at overviewing the studies, focusing on A. millefolium’s possible effects on the different wound injuries.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Essential Oil Research ( JEOR) is the major forum for the publication of essential oil research and analysis. Each issue includes studies performed on the chemical composition of some of the 20,000 aromatic plants known in the plant kingdom. JEOR is devoted entirely to all phases of research from every corner of the world by the experts in their field. JEOR''s main areas of focus include:
-Analytical chemistry-
Biological activity-
Biotechnology-
Chemical composition-
Chemical synthesis-
Chemosystematics-
Microbiological activity-
Plant biochemistry/biosynthesis-
Toxicology.
Published six times per year, JEOR provides articles on the aromatic principles of a plant or its isolates and are directed toward furthering our readers'' knowledge of the aromatic plant and animal kingdoms.
