the biological process of tissue repair after injury — a cascade of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. effective wound healing requires immune defense against infection, new tissue formation, and extracellular matrix reorganization
many species produce compounds that accelerate wound healing. flavonoids and terpenes reduce wound inflammation. antibacterial compounds prevent secondary infection. vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis — the structural protein that rebuilds damaged tissue
honey applied topically provides an antibacterial moist environment that promotes healing. aloe vera, turmeric (curcumin), and rosemary extract are documented wound-healing agents across traditional medicine systems
