Rodil, Catherine, Herrera, Applied Research IV (General Science Curriculum), Laboratory School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, 1999, “Decoction of Guava Leaves as Treatment for Wounds.” Advisers: Dr. Josefina R. Rint. Prof. Ermelinda Dimero
The research study entitled “Decoction of Guava Leaves as Treatment for Wounds”, was conducted at 87-Tambo Malaki, Indang, Cavite from June 1998 to September 1998. Generally, this study aimed to produce decoction of guava leaves as treatment for wounds. Specifically, this study aimed to test the effect of guava leaves decoction on wounds and compare the rate of healing effects of guava leaves decoction on wounds at varied concentration.
A concentration composed of 10, 15, 20 and 25 guava leaves decoctions were used in the study as treatments. The fifth treatment was pure betadine solution, which served as the standard solution. The wounded rodents were used as test animals.
The statistical analysis used to compare the results of the study was the Duncan Multiple Range Test.
The results showed that the range or number of days of healing effect of the treatments differs significantly from each other. The use of 25 guava leaves as decoction had the fastest healing effect of 3.72 days as compared with the other decoctions.
However, betadine solution still significantly gave the shortest span of time in healing the wounds. The result further revealed that the rate of healing in decreasing order was betadine solution >25 >20 >15 >10 guava leaves. It is therefore concluded that the increase in the concentration of decoction lessened the number of days in healing the wounds due to the increased amount of tannin.
Even if the decoction of 25 guava leaves was not enough to heal the wounds as fast as those treated with betadine solution, this concentration was significantly more effective than other guava leaves decoctions.
