Abstract

Kako je vanjski izgled iznimno bitan u suvremenom društvu, ubrzano raste potreba za tvarima i preparatima koji će poboljšati izgled kože. Kožne lezije različite patologije otežavaju svakodnevan život i zdravlje, kako fizičko tako i psihičko. Ovaj rad daje pregled kliničkih studija odabranih biljnih vrsta od kojih su neke već pronašle svoje mjesto u proizvodima za njegu kože. U rad su uključene sljedeće biljne vrste: Aloe barbadensis, Achillea millefolium, Calendula officinalis, Centella asiatica i Lavandula angustifolia. Fokus rada bio je na učinku ispitivanih biljnih vrsta na sekundarne kožne lezije kao što su ulceracije, postoperativne rane i kraste. Sve studije, izuzev jedne, primjenjivale su pripravke ekstrakata odabranih biljnih vrsta topikalno na leziju. Prema rezultatima studija svi biljni preparati su učinkoviti u poboljšanju cijeljenja ispitivanih kožnih rana. One pomažu u smanjenju eritema, boli, edema, ekhimoze, izgleda rane itd. Za A. vera i C. officinalis su potrebna dodatna istraživanja zbog oprečnih rezultata studija za određenu indikaciju.

Abstract (english)

As external appearance is important in today's society, the need for substances and products that will improve the appearance of the skin is growing rapidly. Skin lesions of various pathologies make everyday life and health more difficult, both physically and mentally. This thesis provides an overview of clinical studies of selected plant species, of which some have already found their place in skin care products. The following plant species were included in the study: Aloe barbadensis, Achillea millefolium, Calendula officinalis, Centella asiatica, and Lavandula angustifolia. Secondary skin lesions, such as ulcerations, postoperative wounds and scabs, are the focus of this paper. All but one study applied extracts of selected plant species topically to the skin lesion. According to the results of the studies, all herbal preparations were effective in improving the wound healing of the examined skin lesions. They help reduce erythema, pain, edema, ecchymosis, wound appearance, etc. A. vera and C. officinalis require further research due to conflicting study results for a particular indication.
