Amygdalus eburnea is a perennial herb that has been valued for its important biological perspectives and it has been used to treat the burn. In this study, the extract from the Iranian medicinal herb is investigated on its wound healing activity in comparison with silver sulfadiazine ointment as the standard treatment for burn wound in rats. Our results demonstrated that, Amygdalus eburnean can be an effective treatment for third degree burns. Advanced clinical and pharmaceutical studies are recommended in order to the production of novel natural drugs for burn wound treatment.
