Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Die Wundheilung ist ein komplexer Prozess, der durch eine auf den jeweiligen Wundzustand abgestimmte Versorgung unterstützt werden kann. Der Artikel betrachtet bekannte (Arnika, Johanniskraut, Ringelblume/Calendula), aber auch in Vergessenheit geratene Heilpflanzen (Beinwell, Brennnessel, Deutsche Schwertlilie, Lebensbaum/Thuja, Waldbingelkraut, Wundklee) im Hinblick auf ihr wundheilungsförderndes und antimikrobielles Potenzial bei topischer Anwendung. Auf Grundlage aktueller Literaturdaten aus In-vitro- und In-vivo-Untersuchungen sowie klinischen Studien werden die Pflanzen und ihre Wirkmechanismen den Wundheilungsphasen zugeordnet. Besonderes Augenmerk wird zudem auf die Vorteile der Kombination von Heilpflanzen gelegt, um ein breiteres Wirkspektrum über verschiedene Phasen der Wundheilung hinweg zu erhalten und eine umfassende Unterstützung dieser anzustreben.

Abstract

Topical Application of Medicinal Plants as a Support for WoundHealing – Part 1

Wound healing is a complex process with several stages, which should be supported differently by taking into account the respective state of the wound. In this publication well known (mountain arnica, St. John's wort, marigold) but also forgotten (comfrey, nettle, common iris, eastern white cedar, dog’s mercury, common kidney vetch) healing plants are presented with regard to their wound healing and antimicrobial potential in topical application. Based on published in vitro and in vivo experiments as well as clinical studies found in literature plants and their mode of action are assigned to the different phases of wound healing. Particular emphasis is put on the advantage of herbal combinations to broaden the efficacy spectrum targeting more than one phase of wound healing and thus striving for a holistic wound treatment.
