Healing of wounds for diabetics could be one of the most difficult challenges that diabetes causes. This project aims to help diabetics to heal their wounds using 100% natural herb with low cost. Through using Conyza Canadensis we can extract a variety of chemical compounds that enhance the process of healing and encourage metabolism such as: Flavonoids, Gallic acid, Tannic acid, Monoterpenes. All these can form a very effective medicine that reduces the time for the wound healing- especially that the volatile oil of Conyza Canadensis acts as an astringent. Through experimenting the result compound on bacteria, skin cells and blood samples we have noticed a notable difference between the time of healing of wounds with herbs and without the herb, concluding that the Conyza Canadensis extraction can form an effective compound to reduce the time of healing of wounds for diabetics. Through using this plant we can end a major problem that diabetics face which in further situations could lead to amputation due to bacterial growth and inflammations on the wounds.
