- Authors
Herman, Anna; Herman, Andrzej Przemysław
- Abstract
The purpose of this review is to provide verified data on the current knowledge acquired in preclinical and clinical studies regarding topically used herbal products and their active constituents (formulations and dressings) with diabetic wound healing activity. Moreover, herbal products and their active constituents used for diabetic wound infections, and various cellular and molecular mechanisms of their actions will also be described. The electronic databases were searched for articles published from 2012 to 2022. Publications with oral or systemic administration of herbal products in diabetic wound healing, published before 2012, available only as an abstract, or in languages other than English were excluded from the study. The 59 articles comparing topically used herbal products in diabetic wound healing treatment versus control treatments (placebo or active therapy) were selected. Herbal products through different mechanisms of action, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity, stimulation of angiogenesis, production of cytokines and growth factors, keratinocytes, and fibroblast migration and proliferation may be considered as an important support during conventional therapy or even as a substitute for synthetic drugs used for diabetic wound treatment.
