diabetic skin (feet, legs)

Hi folks,

 

We talk a lot about acne, bruises, and mature skin... What about diabetics?

 

Someone very close to me has some classic symptoms from his diabetes... His legs

have poor circulation, and the skin seems... easily damaged. And very dry, which

sometimes results in cracking.

 

If he uses lotion regularly, that does help. Are there any herbs that might be

useful topically (infused in oil or such), essential oils, etc.

 

Anyone worked with this?

Using herbs on the soles of his feet that help circulation might be

beneficial. Some to try are ginger, peppermint, cayenne. Any of them infused

in olive oil can be used.

Butcher's broom, Horsechestnut and ginger all improve microcirculation in

the extremities. Use both inside and outside.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks folks.

 

Any ideas for the health of the skin itself? Especially when there are

cuts/scrapes/etc. I'm assuming self-heal, possibly sage, echinacea... but

not too sure.

I'm going to show my ignorance here, but how would you use these herbs

on the outside? I've seen these herbs in capsule form, but not

infused, in tinctures, or liquid form. Also, I'm aware that ginger can

be troublesome to the stomach (a home made tea or capsules and

sensitive stomach)if taken internally.
