The Effect of IMBOOST Herbal Mixture on Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Case Report

Abstract

IMBOOST Herbal Mixture has been found to have a wound-healing effect on a diabetic foot ulcer in the Ghanaian media. We report the case of a woman aged 55 years who came to the Nyarkotey University College of Holistic Medicine & Technology clinic, Ashaiman, Ghana, with a report of a diagnosed diabetic foot ulcer from a government hospital.  The patient is a known diabetic. She has no known family history of diabetic foot ulcers. She started the treatment in two government hospitals in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. She also resorted to homeopathic treatment. Due to the frustration and unsuccessful treatment outcomes with the pharmaceutical drugs and homeopathic remedies, she visited the College’s clinic in anticipation of a breakthrough for a natural treatment. She was prescribed IMBOOST Herbal Mixture, a natural product formulated by SharpHerbs, a Ghanaian-based herbal producer in the Ashanti region, as an immune booster. The College’s clinic has a natural pharmacy with a stock of natural products. IMBOOST Herbal Mixture is one of the many natural products in the College’s Pharmacy and was administered 60 ml or 4 tablespoons – 3 times daily and follow-up observations were continued for 4 weeks. We opted for IMBOOST Herbal Mixture as compared to the many other natural products in the college’s Pharmacy due to the much hearsay evidence in the media on the efficacy of the product on diverse medical conditions. Encouraging results were seen after the patient used this product.
