The objectives of this research were 1) to study the properties of both scientific and traditional medicinal herbs to produce innovative herbal medicine for chronic wounds healing in diabetic patients, and 2) to analyze chronic wounds healing by innovative herbal medicine and Buddhist ways to prevent disability in 30 diabetic patients in Mahasarakham, Thailand. The results revealed that 19 medicinal herbs have properties in managing the blood, vascular, lymphatic system, the main cause of chronic wounds, reducing blood viscosity, purifying blood vessels, flushing out waste water, and healing wounds. 5 medicinal herbs were used to produce innovative herbal medicine, and Buddhist principles were used in research and for informants. Chronic wounds in diabetic patients have three characteristics: peripheral neuropathy, ischemic wounds, and infectious wounds. Herbal Oil Formula 1 and Herbal Infusion Formula 2 were used as basic medicines for healing, Herbal Capsule Formula 3 for inflamed wounds, Herbal Infusion for wounds with dark secretions and rotten blood. Wounds with a lot of secretions, foul odors, and full wounds were healed by Mangosteen Peel Powder Formula 5. Accordingly, 100% of all 3 types of chronic wounds were healed. This saved all patients from disability.
