An organic extract of a Chinese herbal medicine Geum Japonicum thunb var.
has been identified that displayed potent stimulatory effects on rapid
agiogenesis (<24 h), myogenesis and blocking fibrosis in traumatized
skeletal muscles. The extract has displayed potent dual effects on
angiogenesis and myogenesis in damaged skeletal muscles leading to
complete skeletal muscle healing in rabbit and rat animal models. The
extract of the present invention can be developed into an effective
therapeutic drug for the treatment of skeletal muscle trauma, soft tissue
healing including burn, skin wound and operation cut, and bone fracture
and defect healings.
