These are the first cases reporting the results of using an extract of hypericum flowers (Hypericum perforatum) and nimh oil (Azadirachta indica) [Hyperoil, RIMOS s.r.l. Mirandola (MO) - Italy (Medical Device Class IIB CE0476)], in foot wounds with exposed bone in patients with advanced diabetic ulcers. The use of Hyperoil, administered by relatives at home, together with improved glycemic control, reversed the worsening of ulcers in all treated patients, without performing any surgical intervention or hospital treatment. Ulcers fully recovered within a couple of months in all patients as well as improved dia-betes control. The effective use of this cheap treatment in patients with diabetic foot lesions, if confir-med in a wide controlled study, might allow routine wound treatment by caregivers at home.
