Wound healing using Semelil: A structured review with focus on diabetic foot ulcers

Authors

Abstract:

Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Among the various non-invasive treatment modalities used for the improvement of DFUs healing, topical herbal therapies a regaining an increasing body of interest. Semelil has been introduced for diabetic foot ulcers management and has been formulated by Iranian scientists in recent years. In this report, the authors review the literature and discuss wound healing with focus on DFUs with Semelil. This review shows no complications with the application of Semelil and consensus on positive effects of the medication was found. In summary, our review showed that Semelil may be a valuable non-invasive treatment for the wound healing in DFUs patients and reduce the wound size during 4 week’s period without major adverse side effects.

Recently, this strategy has been supported by a first time wound fluid proteome analysis comparing acute and chronic wounds (Eming et al. 2010). Interestingly, there seem to be essential differences with r...
