Medicinal and aromatic plants such as Artemisia judaica L.., Boswellia papyrifera (Caill. Ex Delile) Hochst., Calendula officinalis L., Centella asiatica (L.) Urb., Lavandula officinalis Chaix, Mentha x piperita L., Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M. Perry were used as treatment for some basic wounds for 6000 years. These plants were utilized by pounding in a mortar, melting with heat, or using with olive oil. On the other hand, these medicinal and aromatic plants are investigated for their wound-healing activity for the treatment of some chronic diseases such as diabetes, reflux, cancer, arthritis, stroke, hypertension, and obesity. Nowadays, many essential oils (lavender oil, clove oil, tea tree oil etc.) and extracts of these plants are studied treatment of diseases, especially skin diseases such as acne, urticaria, psoriasis, vitiligo, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and wounds (puncture, surgical, incisions, thermal, chemical or electric burns, bites and stings). This review is a non-meta-analysis review, and it is aimed to provide information about medicinal and aromatic plants that carry important essential oils to share information not only about essential oils but also about the important main components in these oils, and to share some in vitro and in vivo relationships with the wound healing activities of these essential oils. In addition, wound healing studies with volatile components are also briefly mentioned. Plant names are listed in alphabetical order and briefly mentioned about the studies.

Artemisia judaica L.., Boswellia papyrifera (Caill. Ex Delile) Hochst., Calendula officinalis L., Centella asiatica (L.) Urb., Lavandula officinalis Chaix, Mentha x piperita L., Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M. Perry gibi tıbbi ve aromatik bitkiler yaklaşık 6000 yıldır anatomik ve fizyolojik olarak canlı doku bütünlüğünün bozulması olarak bilinen yaraların tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu tıbbi ve aromatik bitkiler havanda dövülerek, ısı yardımı ile eritilerek veya zeytinyağı ile birlikte bu yaraların tedavisinde kullanılmıştır. Öte yandan diyabet, reflü, kanser, artrit, inme, hipertansiyon ve obezite gibi bazı kronik hastalıkları tedavi etmek için bu bitkilerin yara iyileştirici etkinliği araştırılmıştır. Günümüzde pek çok uçucu yağ (lavanta yağı, karanfil yağı, çay ağacı yağı vb.) ve ekstreler bazı cilt hastalıklarının, özellikle akne, ürtiker, sedef hastalığı, vitiligo, rozasea, atopik dermatit gibi rahatsızlıkların ve yaraların (ponksiyon, cerrahi kesikler, termal, kimyasal veya elektrik yanıkları, ısırıklar ve sokmalar) tedavisi için çalışılmıştır. Bu derleme metaanaliz içermeyen bir derleme olup, önemli uçucu yağlar taşıyan tıbbi ve aromatik bitkiler hakkında bilgi verilmesi, sadece uçucu yağlar değil ayrıca bu yağlarda bulunan önemli başlıca bileşenler hakkında bilgi paylaşılması ve bu uçucu yağların yara iyileştirme aktiviteleriyle ilişkili bazı in vitro ve in vivo araştırmalar hakkında açıklama yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca kısaca uçucu bileşenlerle yapılan yara iyi edici çalışmalardan da bahsedilmiştir. Bitki adları alfabetik olacak şekilde sıralanmış ve yapılan çalışmalardan kısaca bahsedilerek açıklanmıştır.
