Abstract

Natural plant extracts contain a variety of biologically active molecules. In this context, and within the framework of the valorization of the extracts of the plant Zingiber officinale, our work was carried out on the study of the cicatrization of the cutaneous pleasures caused in the Wistar rats by comparing them with a batch control (without any treatment) and a batch positive (subjected to a treatment of references).The evaluation of the healing power of the different batches shows that our tested extract has a remarkable The evaluation of the healing power of the different batches shows that our tested extract has remarkable healing potential, which is justified by the values of wound contraction over a period of 15 days.
              Finally, it should be noted that this work will open up targeted research horizons in the field of plants used in traditional medicine in arid zones.This work will open up new research horizons in the field of plants used in traditional medicine in arid zones, particularly in terms of highlighting their active principles and evaluating their biological activities.
             By means of this study, our aspiration is to have provided a humble contribution towards promoting traditional medicine, with the aim of rendering efficacious and accessible herbal remedies to the populace.
