Abstract: Historically, plants have provided a source of novel drug compounds as plant derived medicines have made large contributions to human health and well being. Wounds are essentially the disruption of functional continuity of cells and tissues at the site of injury, and can be caused by insults to the tissue sites by physical, chemical, microbiological or immunological process. During the last two decades, there has been increased interest to assess the utility of plant extracts in wound healing and to gain more insight into the active constituents that promote or modulate the healing process. One such Indian wound healing medicinal is I.carnea jacq., which is widely distributed throughout India and in many parts it is cultivated as hedge plant. In Indian indigenous medical practice, the leave of this plant is used to treat wounds along with oil. Research related to the wound healing property of this plant is meagre and collection of information regarding this plant might be useful to investigate the wound healing potential and therapeutic mechanism of I. carnea and also to develop a novel wound healing drug from this plant. Hence in this review, we have given the summation of literature regarding this plant.
