• Abstract:

  The development of new pharmacological therapeutic options based on medicinal plants is a complex process that involves the long PERFORMANCE OF PHYTOTHERAPEUTIC GEL BASED ON FREEZE DRIED EXTRACT OF Anacardium occidentale L. IN SKIN HEALING "IN VIVO"
  The aim of this research is to evaluate the interference of a gel obtained from the powder of the dried extract of Anacardium occidentale L. through the freeze-drying process on the healing process. In this sense, the aim of this research was to evaluate the interference of a gel obtained from the powder of the dried extract of Anacardium occidentale L. through the freeze-drying process on the healing process "in vivo". In the "in vivo" experimental phase, the sample consisted of 16 adult Wistar albino rats, which were divided into four groups. The standards relating to the macroscopic appearance of the wound and its contraction were assessed daily for 12 days. It was found that the 50% gel had a significant effect on the healing process, since in just eight days all the guinea pigs in Group 4 had recovered from the injury, while those who didn't use the active ingredient or used it at a concentration of 25% took an average of 10 to 12 days to complete this process. Based on the methods and conditions used in this study, the results lead us to conclude that A. occidentale L. gel accelerated the skin healing process "in vivo".
