An experimental histological evaluation on reversal of parakeratosis to orthokeratosis based on mouse tail test was conducted. Wrightia tinctoria (in emulsion) when applied to mouse tail, showed nearly 90% reversal of parakeratosis to orthokeratosis, when compared with treatments using retinoids and betamethasone.
