Injuries pose a significant challenge to healthcare in developing nations with limited resources. Approximately 80% of individuals in underdeveloped Nations depend on traditional medicines, predominantly sourced from therapeutic plants, for primary healthcare. In regions like Africa, where traditional knowledge about wound healing is abundant, many people utilize medicinal plants to address diabetic wounds and associated issues. The vast reservoir of medicinal plants in these areas serves as a valuable resource for healthcare solutions. Integrating traditional practices with modern healthcare approaches can be crucial in addressing health challenges, especially in contexts where access to conventional medical resources is constrained. Both internal and external biological organs undergo intricate wound healing processes involving efficient cell-to-cell communication. The stages include haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling, exhibiting high control and organization. By 2040, the global diabetic population is projected to surpass 650 million. Vascular issues and the impaired wound-healing mechanisms associated with diabetes drive increased morbidity and mortality. Understanding and addressing these complex processes are crucial in developing effective strategies for managing diabetic wounds and mitigating the broader health impacts of diabetes on a global scale. This review explores various strategies for treating diabetic wounds, with a particular focus on the international interest in using medicinal plants. It examines factors influencing wound healing in diabetics, the impact of medicinal plants on this process, and the underlying mechanisms of action employed by these plants.
