Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a serious complication of diabetes associated with severe morbidity leading to poor quality of life and high cost of treatment. Many physicians are of the opinion that effective, multidisciplinary management of foot ulcer is necessary to avoid adverse consequences such as amputation and permanent disability. Homoeopathy offers an effective and safe management of these cases through its unique holistic approach. Here is one such case of chronic DFU, which has been refractory to the conventional management, treated satisfactorily with Homoeopathy. It has been observed that, with homoeopathic treatment, apart from healing of the ulcer, the general health of the patient has also improved.
