THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BLUE TERNATE (ASIAN PIGEONWINGS) AND SAMBONG LEAVES AS HEALING WOUND SPRAY IN TREATING MINOR WOUNDS

Abstract

A beneficial and gentle approach to promoting wound healing is the use of non-chemical treatments while ensuring proper care during wound cleaning. Medicinal herbs such as blue ternate and sambong leaves are commonly used because of their ability to stimulate blood circulation, fight infection, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the wound-healing process. The findings of this study may serve as an alternative to expensive commercial antibacterial and wound-healing agents. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of using locally grown herbs and plants for wound treatment is recognized. An experimental research approach was employed in this study. The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of blue ternate and sambong leaves as a healing wound spray in treating minor wounds. The study focused on assessing the healing process, efficacy, and antibacterial properties of the formulated wound spray. Through controlled experimentation, the study determined the potential of blue ternate and sambong leaves as healing and antibacterial agents. The study investigated the use of a natural and organic healing wound spray as an alternative to commercially available wound sprays and antibacterial products. Experimental results showed that the application of blue ternate and sambong leaves as a healing wound spray effectively treated and dried minor open wounds. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the organic wound spray in promoting wound healing. The use of blue ternate and sambong leaves as a healing wound spray showed promising potential as a natural wound-healing and antibacterial agent. Its effectiveness in preventing infection, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and promoting wound healing suggests that it can function as a natural cleanser and wound spray. With further research and product development, blue ternate and sambong wound spray may play a significant role in advancing organic antibacterial and wound-healing treatments.
