Gotu kola extract’s wound healing effect contributes to asiaticoside. Topically using asiaticoside increases the proline content and collagen content, as well as promotes the formation of epithelial tissue, then ultimately promotes wound healing. Experimental research results show that asiaticoside has a significant effect on promoting wound healing for both general wounds and delayed wounds. Moreover, study suggests that the number of scar cell layers and fibroblasts decreased after using asiaticoside. Asiaticoside inhibits the excessive infiltration of T lymphocytes and macrophages in the hypertrophic scar tissue of burns and affects its activity  to reduce the release of TGF-β1, thereby preventing scar hyperplasia.
