THE EFFECT OF HEMP ROOT HAIR ON DIABETIC FOOT ULCER

Abstract

A wound is a condition in which the continuity of body tissue is disrupted, either by blunt or sharp trauma, causing tissue damage. The wound healing process involves three phases: the inflammatory phase, the proliferation phase, and the remodeling phase. Although the healing time of a wound can be predicted, prolonged conditions that do not match predictions result in a long wound care period and chronic wounds. Several factors can help accelerate the wound healing process, such as the use of cannabis root extract. To determine the effect of hemp root hair on the diabetic foot ulcer. This study used a literature review approach. Articles were searched using two databases, Google Scholar and PubMed, with the keywords “hemp root hair” and “diabetic foot ulcer.” The criteria for articles were original articles published between 2018 and 2025. Of the 8 articles reviewed, all articles showed that cannabis extract can accelerate the wound healing process due to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. In addition to these properties, it can also stimulate tissue granulation, maintain skin hydration balance, and promote new tissue re-epithelialization. The review of the 8 articles concluded that hemp root hair extract can accelerate the wound healing process, whether derived from flowers, leaves, or roots. However, among these three components, cannabis root extract has higher antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and produces higher levels of cannabinoids.
