Evaluation of Wound Healing Potential of Novel Hydrogel Based on <i>Ocimum basilicum</i> and <i>Trifolium pratense</i> Extracts

Plants are an inexhaustible source of compounds with different medicinal properties, suitable as alternative options for the prevention and treatment of various pathologies. They are safe, effective and economical. In this paper, a combined extract made of <i>Ocimum basilicum</i> and <...
