Abstract :
A serious consequence of diabetes mellitus,
diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) may result in chronic, non-
healing sores and increased morbidity. As a result of
their resistance to traditional wound healing therapy,
DFUs provide a substantial management problem in the
healthcare industry. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a
significant clinical challenge due to their slow healing
and potential for severe complications. Untreated
diabetic foot ulcers can result in serious side effects such
osteomyelitis, and, in extreme situations, gangrene,
which might need amputation. Cleaning the wound,
debridement (the removal of dead tissue), infection
control, relieving pressure from the affected area, and
other measures are frequently used to treat diabetic foot
ulcers. Recent years have seen a rise in interest in
herbal-based formulations as potential replacements for
DFU wound healing. As the wound heals, several herbal
ingredients may help to decrease scarring. The purpose
of this review is to determine if a unique herbal
extraction can effectively promote wound healing in
individuals with diabetic foot ulcers. It's essential for
wound healing to maintain the proper amount of
moisture around the area. Herbal extracts can assist in
controlling moisture and maintaining a healing-friendly
environment around the area. Many herbal extracts with
anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and tissue-regenerating
effects have been exposed as components in wound
healing gels and cream form.
