“Is there a treatment in naturopathy for a diabetic foot?”

Yes there are several ways a naturopathic and holistic approach can help a diabetic foot.

Dear Patient, I understand how troublesome ulcers can be. Hopefully, I can shed some light on something that may help you to boost your body's ability to heal itself. Diabetic foot ulcers are a common complication of diabetes that can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Diabetic foot ulcers typically develop as a result of poor circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and reduced immune function. Here are some remedies you may find helpful: Raw Honey: Applied topically, raw honey possesses antibacterial properties and can promote wound healing. Sugar: Surprisingly, granulated sugar can also be used as a topical treatment. Its osmotic effect helps draw out excess moisture from the wound and inhibits bacterial growth. Dietary Changes: Incorporating more whole, unprocessed foods into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, can provide essential nutrients and support overall healing and immunity. Ozonated Olive Oil: This alternative therapy involves infusing olive oil with ozone gas, which exhibits antimicrobial and healing properties. Homeopathic Cell Salts: Certain homeopathic remedies, such as Calc phos and Silicea, promote tissue regeneration and enhance the body's healing ability. Vitamins and Minerals Vitamins and minerals also play a crucial role in overall health and can also contribute to the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. Here is how Vitamins and Minerals can help: Vitamin C: This vitamin is essential for collagen formation, which is crucial for wound healing. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. Zinc: Zinc is involved in various enzymatic reactions that are important for wound healing. Vitamin A: This vitamin plays a role in cell growth and differentiation, making it important for wound healing. Hair Tissue Mineral Test (HTMA) A hair tissue mineral test is a valuable tool that can provide crucial insights into an individual's nutritional deficiencies and assist in determining the right supplements needed to address them. By analyzing the mineral content in the hair, this test can identify any imbalances or deficiencies in essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, and others.

I would definitely find a Naturopathic doctor that was educated at an accredited University that is well versed in dealing with diabetes. Injuries to feet in patients with diabetes is not something to mess around with on your own.

Yes, find a skillful naturopathic doctor.

You need to increase circulatory stimulants like turmeric, ginger, ruscus (a herb). if the foot is infected you must address that as well. Try tea tree oil on it 3-4 x day. regards carolyn

There are no naturopathic treatment that I can recommend for you to attempt to perform at home by yourself, however, cold laser therapy aids all different types of wound healing. There is also some research on pubMed for a honey treatment, but it should be performed under the care of a physician that is able to debride the wound. I recommend you print the article and take it to your physician.

You don’t mention what type of injury you have or what type of diabetes you have. Also, are you on medication and any supplements to address your type 1 or 2 diabetes Naturopathic physicians will look for effective ways to support your diet and nutrition to address the diabetes. There are medicines and supplements that NDs will consider for diabetes.

This is complicated as I find there are natural substances, however, if a full multidimensional treatment plan isn't laid out they don't work as well. Top shelf natural agents for this though include: Vitamin C, B12, Coq10, Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid.
It is critical to keep the area moisturized and work on improving blood flow. Again this is more complicated and you should work with a physician.

There are a lot of naturopathic treatments available that can help w/overall healing. The best outcome for healing would be to address this with a ND that knows your full history and therefore can help w/getting you on track to better healing outcome.
