Several herbs and medicinal plants proved to be a wound healers were identified and formulated for treatment and management of wounds. Objective: In the present study wound healing activity of Lantana camara roots etanolic extract was evaluated by using excision wound model on albino rats. Materials and methods: Lantana camara roots were extracted using maceration technique. The extract was evaluated for wound healing activity using excision wound model on Wistar albino rats weighed about 150-200g. Results: The results of the study suggest the use ethanolic extract of Lantana camara on wounds. Results of present study showed significant wound healing activity (wound contraction on 15th day (124±5.44) compared to control (310 ± 2.20) and almost equal to standard (122±4.42). Test ointment showed complete Epithelialization 7.28±0.82 days when compared to control (12.21±0.32) and standard (6.32±0.56).
