determinate plants how a topical substance to improve the healing process has been very

in the Pharmacopoeia of the real pharmacologic action of the plant most used to this
objective. The Aloe vera Linné (“babosa”) is a plant with healing, antioxidant and antiinflammatory
action, and it is suggested that it has more than two thousands of
biological active molecules that acts by synergy on the fibroblasts during the formation
of a new epithelium. The Stryphtnodendron barbatiman (“barbatimão”) has as the main
active compound the tannin witch has an excellent role in healing process, precipitating
the proteins of the tissue forming a protector revetment supporting its reparation. The
Calendula officinalis (“calêndula”) has been so used due its healing, analgesic, antiinflammatory,
antiseptic, and tonic action in the skin, being its major use to cure
exposed and lacerated wounds. About Symphytum officinale (“confrei”) it is a plant
witch presents in its composition the allantoin, responsible for the healing action,
stimulating the granulation tissue and the mucilage to produce the emollient effect. It
can be concluded that phytoterapy is an alternative treatment so efficient to many
diseases in animals and the effects of the studied plants in this review were scientifically
proofed, through the realization of researches, by this way it is possible to indicate their
use with security as healing stimulant in many kinds of wounds.
