Abstract

In recent years, the search for active ingredients that help in the healing process have boosted the use of herbal medicines. Essential oils have different properties, including anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antiseptic, moisturizing and healing effects. The objective was to identify the use of essential oils in wound healing. It is an integrative literature review indexed in the LILACS, Medline, PEDro, PubMed and SciELO databases. Data collection took place between May and June 2019. The sample consisted of 11 articles published between the years 2012 and 2017, all of which were carried out in rodents. In summary, this review achieved the objective of verifying essential oils as an effective and low-cost therapeutic alternative for the treatment of skin lesions, however, it is necessary to have a scientific basis to expand the practice in a safe and effective way.
