**5. Wound healing**

The treatment of wounds is directly related to the use of antibiotics. The systemic use of antibiotics is associated with various side effects in addition to resistance. The topical use is far better than systematic use to avoid side effects. The natural products based topical application have more positive aspects as compared to the available synthetic chemical molecules. The beauty of plantbased topical wound healing dosage form is that these remedies accumulated various synergetic chemicals in addition to phytosterols. The development of the natural product-based topical dosage might provide analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic effects. The wound-healing effect of these valuable plants is also outstanding. The fruits oil of *P. lenticus* has been reported with significant healing of laser burn [64]. In another study the fruits oil of *P. lenticus* has accelerated the cutaneous wound healing [65]. The *P. lenticus* resin also shorten the duration of skin burn in rats in a dose-dependent manner [66]. The *P. atlantica* and *P. khinjuk* extracts increased the curing rate of skin wound in experimental animals [67]. The methanolic extract of *P. khinjuk* is also a worthy topical anti- wound agent [68]. The mastic extract, seed oil and resin oil of *P. lenticus* have been tested as significant wound healing agent in different experimental models [69–71]. Bioassay -guided isolation and identification of various chemical constitutes of *P. vera* has been reported [72]. The topical wound healing gel has been formulated with significant effect of *P. atlantica* [73].
