PAS_1 Calotropis Procera (CP) has been used in the management of toothache, fresh skin burns, gum bleeding as well as others to make it qualify as a medicinal plant.’ (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24146491)
PAS_2 Calotropis gigantea R. Br. is a perennial under-shrub found chiefly in wastelands throughout India, and in some African countries such as Angola, Gabon, DR Congo, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania and Mozambique. The whole plant is used for treatment of skin diseases, boils and sores. C. gigantea is also used in some parts of India for wound healing in combination with other plants. The whole plant extract increased the percentage of wound contraction, scar area and decreased re-epithelialization time. Breaking strength of extract-treated wounds and hydroxyproline content increased compared to untreated. https://www.intechopen.com/books/wound-healing-new-insights-into-ancient-challenges/medicinal-plants-and-natural-products-with-demonstrated-wound-healing-properties
