: Flowers and leaves of jasmine (Jasminum sambac) have chemical substances that contain phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, terpenoids and flavonoids. Flavonoid, an antioxidant, plays some importnat roles in wound healing due to their antibacterial effect. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of jasmine leaf extract on incision wound healing in rabbits. This was an experimental study using three rabbits as test subjects. Wounds of 0.3 cm depth, 5 cm length, and 0.5 cm widened at both ends of the wound were made on the right and left sides of the back. Incised wound on the left side was treated with jasmine leaf extract ointment meanwhile the wound on the right side was untreated and was covered only with sterile gauze. Wounds were observed for two weeks to evaluate the changes of macroscopical length. The results showed that wounds treated with jasmine leaf extract ointment shrank and their edges united with the surrounding tissues faster than the untreated wounds. Conclusion: Jasmine leaf extract ointment accelerated incised wound healing in rabbits
