Abstract (2. Language): 
For thousands of years, medicinal plants have played an important role throughout the world in treating and preventing a variety of diseases and still now, the preference of herbal drugs is ever increasing. Tribal people still depend on medicinal plants and most of them have a general knowledge of medicinal plants which are used as first aid remedies to treat cough, cold, fever, headache, poisonous bites and some simple ailments. Selected medicinal plant Bambusa arundinacea is used traditionally in hyperlipidemia, rheumatism, arthritis, obesity, inflammation, wrinkles etc. The present review explores relevant information about the screening of leaves obtained from Bambusa arundinacea in its wound healing potential as per the basis of its antiinflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. In the present study, the ethanolic extract of leaves of Bambusa arundinacea showed significant wound healing activity in the excision and incision wound models in rats. The progression of wound healing (area reduction) is 86.60% by 10% ethanolic extract at day 12th. The results of the 12th day indicate that there is significant increase in the hydroxyproline content in extract groups, in incision wound model as compared to the group treated with standard drug i.e. povidone iodine.
