“…O mel também pode ser um curativo aceitável para feridas crônicas, pois foi demonstrado repetidamente atividade bacteriostática (Diehr, Hamp, & Jamieson, 2007), mesmo em baixas concentrações, pode impedir o crescimento de vários micro-organismos (Delshad;Tavakkoli-kakhki, & Motavasselian, 2017). Ele é higroscópico, pode desidratar bactérias e seu alto teor de açúcar causa inibição do crescimento bacteriano (Leaper et al, 2012).…”

Diabetic foot can be understood as the destruction of soft tissues, and as infections or ulcerations associated with neurological and vascular changes in the lower limbs of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). It is also one of the most severe, costly, and devastating complications of DM, and foot ulcers are precursors of lower limb amputations in 85% of the cases. Thus, honey emerges as an alternative treatment which is economical, presents a low risk of bacterial resistance, and is widely available, indispensable factors for the continuity of treatment by the patients. This article is a scoping review with the objective of describing the evidence to elucidate the benefits of honey in the treatment of diabetic foot. The research includes primary studies, reviews, meta-analyses and/or meta-syntheses, books and guidelines, theses, and dissertations, published in indexed sources or in the gray literature published in the following databases: Scielo, LILACS, Pubmed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, SCOPUS, CINAHL, and Academic Search Premier, CAPS, the USP Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, and the USP Integrated Search Portal. In the literature reviewed, 33 different benefits have been found which are described for the use of honey. Among these benefits, the higher healing rate and anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and debriding properties stand out, among others. Therefore, the analyzed studies showed a wide variety of benefits, which reflects the complexity of the action and the usefulness of this product.

“…In another report of a case series, Mohamed et al examined the effect of honey dressing on the healing of diabetic foot, pain, and cost of dressing, and found that honey has a significant impact on improving diabetic foot; consequently, pain and costs of healthcare were decreased considerably 16. The healing properties of honey can be explained by its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, moisturizing in the wound bed, osmotic effects, decreasing edema in the cells of the wound, accelerating the process of angiogenesis and granulation in the wound, accelerating collagenases and epithelialization in the wound, increasing activities of lymphocytes and phagocytes, and accelerating debridement of necrotic tissue 11,16–18…”

Background: This study aimed 1) to examine the impact of honey on diabetic foot; 2) to examine the effect of olive oil on diabetic foot; and 3) to compare the impact of honey and olive oil in the healing of diabetic foot. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 45 patients took part. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups. In the honey group, the wound was dressed using gauzes with honey daily for 1 month. In the olive oil group, the wound was dressed using gauzes with olive oil (4 mL) daily for 1 month. Patients in the control group received usual dressing. Wounds were assessed before and after intervention using the Wagner scoring system and the checklist of diabetic foot healing (where a higher score indicates better wound healing). Results: Demographic characteristics of patients in the three groups were similar. Mean scores of tissue around the wound, wound grade, wound drainage, and wound healing were similar before intervention in all three groups. After intervention, means score of tissue around the wound, wound grade, wound drainage, and wound healing were significantly higher in patients in the honey and olive oil groups compared to patients in the control group. Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that honey is as effective as olive oil in the treatment of diabetic foot. Given the few studies on this topic, further investigation is needed.

Diabetic Foot Pain and Ulcers is one of the complications diseases caused by Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Based on data from the Ministry of Health in 2014, diabetic foot ulcers in Indonesia 54%. Diabetic foot ulcer disease can cause infection and tissue death. Treatment of diabetic foot ulcers has been treated with ointments or gels containing antimicrobials, biomaterials, and active compounds, accelerating the wound healing process. The active compounds from medicinal plants that play a role in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers have been widely reported. The purpose of writing this article is to look at the therapeutic effects of active compounds that play a role in wound healing. In this systematic review, we searched the PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases to identify primer articles that were published from 2010 to 2020. Ten studies were selected and published between 2015-2020. Furthermore, the plant species used for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers contain active phenolic, gallic acid, flavonoids, gallic acid, flavonoids, and tannins compounds that play a role in the acceleration of the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, diabetic foot ulcers, the active compound, medicinal plants
