    Objective: St. John's wort (SJW) oil (Hypericum perforatum) has been used for its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. Several studies have shown the efficacy of SJW on wound healing. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of SJW using a combination of biochemical, histopathological and laser Doppler evaluations. Materials and Methods: Sixteen young Wistar albino rats were used as case and control groups (having 8 in each group). After anesthesia protocol, 6 mm punch biopsy was taken from six separate sites on the rats' dorsal skin. Three wounds were stitched (closed wounds)
