Abstract

Natural plants have been used as a traditional medicine all over the world. One of these natural plants is pomegranate (punica granatum).

However, after the preparation of the ointment from the peels fine powder, four different samples of rats were burnt and treated. The result of the extract and the analysis showed that pomegranate is reach by an active constituent such as Saponin, Glycosides, Steroids and Terpenoid which play the main role in healing the burn wounds.

As conclusion the objective of this study has been achieved, and positive result has been obtained.
