Nine male Oryctolagus cuniculus local rabbits were allocated randomly in 3 groups. After antisepsis and local anesthesia, four circular burns were created on the animal’s backs. Immediately after burning, the wounds were covered with honey in three rabbits (HON group), another group was treated first with honey and then L. inermis powder was added on honey (LI_HON group). Three untreated animals were used as control (CRL group). The treatment of rabbits was applied once daily (6/7 days) until 24th day post burns. The animals were observed for their general state, aspects of wounds and the healing times were also recorded. At 35th day post burns, the hair growth was investigated in the different groups. LI_HON group has recorded the best results compared to other groups; a short significant necrosis duration (LI_HON Vs CRL, p
