- Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common complication faced by 15% of diabetic patients throughout the world. Diabetic ulcers often contribute to the annual amputation incidence globally. Timely detection of DFU and proper medication, along with right education, is essential in saving a limb of the patient. Among a number of other medicinal choices to tackle this condition, Manuka honey and Panchavalkala decoction provided promising results within 11 weeks. The combination was successful in treating a gangrenous diabetic ulcer with pain and pus discharge affecting the left second toe in a diabetic patient, leading to a complete cure without recurrence.
