Arsurile şi plantele medicinale

Burns represent one of the most serious, exhausting and mutilating aggressions. The local burn injury is a dynamic entity. Neglected at first, it can deepen. An appropriate general and local treatment can direct its evolution on a shorter path to healing. Regardless of the production method, the essential damaging factors are the temperature to which the skin is exposed and the duration of the exposure, these factors determining the degree of structural alteration of the skin. Man has always used plants for healing, and almost as soon as he learned to write, he recorded descriptions of their healing properties. Plants are not panaceas, nor are they a last resort often resorted to after all therapeutic methods have been exhausted. They have their place well established by specialists in the therapeutic arsenal, be it those with major or medium action, or be it adjuncts.
