Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease causing microvascular, macrovascular, neuropathic, and nephropathic complications. Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is the frequently occurring clinical complication due to associated neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease leading to threatened amputation if untreated. Various treatments and preventive management techniques are currently in practice to lessen the morbidity of these complications. Homeopathy is proven to be the successful treatment in chronic diseases, especially DFUs as evidenced by the previous case reports and literature. The document includes a case report where a long-standing diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) was completely healed over a few months using the homeopathic remedy Lachesis. This treatment not only healed the ulcer but also prevented further complications and the need for toe amputation, leading to an overall improvement in health as evaluated by the modified Naranjo criteria.
