Herbal Turmeric Accelerates Wound Healing

By Kyle J. Norton

Wound healing is the process to repair the wound after injury or damage through many stages, including the acute phase of infection.

First, the immune system after sensing the skin wound activates the immune first-line defense stimulates the constriction of the blood vessel to reduce blood flow, activate platelets, and many different clotting factors to cover the wound area.

Then, the white blood cells also up-regulate the proteins associated with the production of proinflammatory cytokines to the site of infection to kill off all the invasive organisms.

In most cases, due to overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, patients may experience symptoms of fever, and localized pain, redness, and swelling.

Furthermore, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in some case can cause the death of nearby healthy cells, leading to the formation of irreversible scars, as seen in the liver.

After the inflammatory phase, the new blood vessels are formed and the new granulation tissues are built.

The final phase of the wound healing is involved in the remodeling of collagen from type III to type I cellular activity reduces.


If the process of skin healing is interrupted, it may lead to abnormal cell membrane repair, a major cause of skin scars.

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

Based on the tested analysis curcumin administration showed a significant effect on various stages of the natural wound healing process to hasten to heal.

Epidemiological studies suggested curcumin reduces the body's natural response to cutaneous wounds by inhibiting the inflammatory and oxidative expression caused by injury and wound.

Furthermore, curcumin also enhanced granulation tissue formation, collagen deposition, tissue remodeling, and wound contraction.

Moreover, curcumin may be used as a topical application to alter the maximum therapeutical effects on skin wounds.

Taken altogether, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the accelerated healing, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
