The wound care has evolved over the history of medicine, in order to intervene in the healing process, to provide protection mechanisms or injury repair. This study aimed to evaluate the process of tissue repair in rabbits treated orally with magnetic water and coconut water, in order to understand whether this therapeutic process influences the skin wounds repairing. Were used 30 rabbits New Zealand White divided into six groups with different oral treatments (mineral water, magnetized water and coconut water), and these, three groups received antibiotic ointment on the experimental wound . Surgical wounds were made on the backs of the animals, which were clinically evaluated, checking the rectal temperature and the characteristics of the wounds: edema, erythematous halo, healing time and time of epithelialization. Tissue biopsies from the edges of the wounds were taken for histological evaluation, observation of collagen fibers (type I and III) and elastic fibers. Blood samples were taken for analysis of red blood cells, leukocytes and platelets. The consumption of water and animal feed were also monitored. The body temperature of the animals remained within the normal range (37.1 to 39.4C), as well as all the hematological parameters. The animals that ingested magnetized water and coconut water showed the lowest time of healing and epithelialization and those that received magnetized water showed the highest values of elastic fibers and increased consumption of water and feed. Collagen type I was predominant in all groups, in all collections. The ingestion of the magnetized water and coconut water influenced the tissue repair process, but more studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism of action of this therapeutic process.
