Objectives: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the test bay leaves and honey and nacl 0.9 % as a control for acute wound healing in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus Wistar strain). Methods: The research method uses a form of quasi-experimental studies (Quasy-Experiment Design) and posttest study design used is the Only Design. Manufacture of bay leaf extraction by maceration method and used as many as 15 test animals were divided into 3 treatment groups, namely treatment bay leaf, honey treatment group and the group treated with nacl 0.9 %. Acute wounds in the back right and left with a diameter of 1 cm were treated and observed the healing effects for 6 days. Results: The results showed that from day 1 to day 6 observation of acute wounds suffered diminution in diameter but no significant difference of the three treatments. Conclusion: It was concluded that the bay leaves and honey and 0.9 % NaCl effect on wound healing, but the use of bay leaves is no more effective than honey and 0.9 % NaCl.]]>
