A Bangladeshi study demonstrated that the asthma plant (Euphorbia hirta) could encourage the healing process in diabetic animals. When the plant’s ethanolic extract was administered to diabetic rats via oral and topical means, the wounds closed faster compared to untreated animals.
The study was supported by Primeasia University. The researchers published their findings in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
The researchers reported that asthma plant extracts greatly improved wound healing in diabetic animals.
