Essential Oil of Promotes Cell Migration on Fibroblasts: In Vitro Assays.

Essential oils (EOs) are complex mixtures of volatile natural compounds. We have extensively studied the EO of , which demonstrates antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing activities. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of this EO on fibroblast migration in a three-dimensional in vitro model.

Wound Healing Activity of α-Pinene and α-Phellandrene.

is used in Mexican folk medicine to treat wounds on the skin. Recently, it was shown that the essential oil (EO) of has wound healing activity, accelerating cutaneous wound closure and generating scars with good tensile strength. α-pinene (PIN) and α-phellandrene (FEL) are terpenes that have been found in this EO, and it has been shown in different studies that both have anti-inflammatory activity.

Wound Healing Activity of the Essential Oil of , in Mice.

is used in Mexican folk medicine to treat wounds on the skin. It is an endemic tree known as "aceitillo", and the antibacterial and antifungal activity of its essential oil has been verified; it also acts as an anti-inflammatory. All of these reported biological activities make the essential oil of a candidate to accelerate the wound-healing process.
