Chinese herbal foot baths show promise for early-stage diabetic foot care: study

2025-09-28

in 2025, a systematic review and data mining study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology pointed out: Compared with simple warm water foot baths, Chinese herbal foot-baths have shown certain auxiliary therapeutic effects in the treatment of diabetic foot at Wagner stage 0 or 1 (i.e., early-stage lesions that have not yet formed severe ulcers).

This meta-analysis included 13 studies involving a total of 921 patients. The results showed that Chinese herbal foot baths could significantly improve the clinical response rate (compared with warm water foot baths, the hazard ratio RR ≈ 1.42).

In addition, they also observed that Chinese herbal foot baths significantly improved indicators such as ankle-brachial index (ABI) and motor/sensory nerve conduction velocity of the common peroneal nerve, suggesting that it may be beneficial

In terms of safety, no significant increase in the incidence of adverse events was observed in Chinese herbal foot baths during the study

News comments point out that this research provides new evidence support for the auxiliary application of "foot bath therapy" in the early stage of diabetic foot, raising expectations among the public and the clinical community for its potential value
