Abstract
Simple evaluation on the wound healing activities on Sprague-Dawley rats using
the preparation of crude leaf extract of Lygodium japonicum was done. The crude
extract (50 mg) was applied to the surface of wounds ones, three (3) consecutive
times, whereas for control rats were not treated at all. The contraction and tensile
strength were measured to evaluate the effects of Lygodium japonicum on
wound healing. The results showed no significant difference in wound
constraction and tensile strength using the Lygodium japonicum crude leaf
extract compared to control experiment.
