Kacip Fatimah (KF) extract has been shown to accelerate wound healing by up to 25%, outperforming current treatments like Flavine and sea cucumber. Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in the early stages of healing, making it a promising alternative for minor wounds. The extract can be applied as an ointment or medicated plaster. This plant-based treatment addresses supply issues tied to traditional methods like sea cucumber, ensuring more sustainable production. The extract holds significant potential in health and pharmacy markets, particularly in wound care products.
