This current review emphasis on the aspect of the main active comounds of  saffron, on healing  burn and  the mechanisms investigated by researchers in treating. Researches on animal pattern indications that saffran preparation may have potential beneficial in the treatment burn wounds.According to antibacterial activity,mechanism of action, low toxicity and mild cost, saffran extracts can compete with conventional treatment.
