Abstract/Executive Summary

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a rapidly growing health concern, disproportionately affecting low and middle-income countries due to socioeconomic and healthcare constraints. Diabetic foot ulcers are among the most severe complications of DM, leading to impaired wound healing and reduced quality of life, highlighting the need for accessible and effective wound-dressing alternatives. This review paper employs a thematic analysis to consolidate related literature on chitosan-based hydrogels and Canarium ovatum Engl. as a sustainable option for diabetic wound healing. Data were gathered from recognized journals, articles, and academic papers focusing on the phytoconstituents of C. ovatum and the properties of biopolymer-based herbal dressings. Results showed that the synergistic effect of these dressings improves diabetic wound healing through its antibacterial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and tissue-regenerating properties. These findings lay the foundation for the potential of C. ovatum-loaded chitosan hydrogels as a sustainable and effective therapeutic intervention.
