Let’s Begin…
Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies, with a surface area of about 20 square feet in adults. When we are cut or wounded, our skin begins to repair itself through a complex, well-coordinated process. Sarthak Sinha takes us past the epidermis and into the dermis to investigate this regenerative response.
Applying plant extract and herbal medicine has been a long documented approach in alternative/complementary medicine to accelerate wound healing. Do you think that these approaches are viable? How would you scientifically validate their effect on wound healing?
