The ancient Egyptians had a crude understanding of the process of wound healing. Therefore, they used readily available dressing materials such as leaves, bark, or gauze. They also applied honey to the wounds, believing that it had healing properties. The evidence for the use of gauze is also documented in ancient China and Turkey. The use of antiseptic agents such as wine, vinegar, and honey was recommended by Hippocrates around 400 BC. Additionally, the ancient Greeks and Romans also used various herbs and oils for wound healing, such as aloe vera and olive oil. These natural remedies were often combined with bandages made from linen or wool. Despite their limited understanding of the science behind wound healing, these ancient civilizations made significant contributions to the development of modern wound care practices.
