^aHealing activity was investigated using a burn wound model: O = group treated with ointment base with no extract, P = group treated with topical ointment containing extract, NC = group treated with nothing and only dressed in sterile gauze, and PC = positive control. ^bReported as mean ± SD. ^cPost wound expansion.
