Abstract: This invention relates to a topical herbal formulation that is particularly suitable for the treatment of wounds and a process for the manufacture thereof. More specifically, this invention relates to a topical wound-healing herbal formulation comprising gotu kola (Centella asiatica), greater plantain (Plantago major), figwort (Scrophularia nodosa), yarrow (Achillea millefolium) and Pau d'Arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa). The herbal formulation has both anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. The formulation is particularly effective in the treatment of horse wounds, preventing the formation or raised hairless scars and promoting hair regrowth in the horse without the need for the introduction of an extracellular matrix.
