source or corrosive chemicals. The use of natural products to treat burns dates back to
ancient civilizations. This chapter discusses naturally derived products from plants,
animals and fungi sources. The natural origin, chemical composition, burn healing
mechanisms, clinical studies, and used pharmaceutical formulation are also covered.
