Wild is from the family euphorbiaceae. This tree was widely distributed in south pacific and indo- malesia on westwards and tropically in india. The results suggest that treatment with alcoholic extract of Punica granatum (L.) may have a beneficial influence on the various phases of wound healing like epithelization, collagen synthesis, and wound contraction, resulting in faster healing. The wound healing potential of the Punica granatum (L.) extract may probably be as a result of the presence of a mixture of phytoconstituents including flavonoids and tannins.
