Significance of Wound healing
Wound healing, as described across various traditions and sciences, encompasses multiple methods and processes aimed at restoring damaged tissues. According to Purana, it involves the use of herbal remedies like turmeric and camphor. Ayurveda broadens this definition to include medical management for animals and surgical recovery processes. Scientific perspectives emphasize the biological repair mechanisms and the role of various substances, including herbs, in enhancing healing. Ultimately, wound healing is a complex physiological process vital for recovery from injuries.
