research EVALUATION OF CRUDE FLAXSEED (Linum usitatissimum L.) OIL IN BURN WOUND HEALING IN NEW ZEALAND RABBITS
The study evaluated the effects of crude linseed oil on burn wound healing in 8 New Zealand rabbits. Linseed oil, rich in flavonoids and terpenoids, significantly improved wound contraction and reduced healing time to 26±5.89 days compared to other treatments like Vaseline gel and Cicatryl-Bio ointment. The oil-treated wounds showed less inflammation, complete epithelial regeneration, enhanced neovascularization, and increased collagen fibers without adverse effects. The study concluded that linseed oil was effective and safe for burn wound therapy, suggesting its potential as a treatment for skin wounds or ulcers, and recommended further research to isolate active components for product formulation.
