Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the most severe complications of diabetes mellitus, often progressing to infection, gangrene, and eventual amputation. This case report presents a 32-years-old male from Vasco, Goa, who was advised for amputation following a severe diabetic foot ulcer. The patient was successfully managed with individualized homoeopathic remedies. Belladonna was selected for acute inflammatory symptoms with throbbing pain, redness, and marked sensitivity. Hepar sulphuris was prescribed subsequently to address suppuration, foul discharge, and slow healing tendency. Calendula mother tincture was used externally for dressing to promote granulation, and later Calendula in 1M potency was given once weekly to complete the healing process. The ulcer healed completely over a three-month period, preventing amputation and restoring the patient’s quality of life. This case highlights the potential of homoeopathy as a safe, non-invasive therapeutic option in diabetic foot management.
