SUMMARY The results of the primary comparative assessment of the wound-healing effect of preparations from St. John’s wort on a model of long-term non-healing wounds in mice are presented. The most effective treatment of wounds with a decoction and dusting with herb powder, which acts positively in all 3 phases of wound healing. Enteral administration of a decoction of the herb is also effective. A similar local and enteral application of roots ends with
a wound-healing effect, but not so pronounced. The similar activity of novoimanin and
lyophilized decoction of the herb has been proven when applied topically.
