This study on 35 albino Wistar rats found that Lavandula stoechas significantly improves wound healing in both diabetic and non-diabetic models. The Lavandula stoechas-treated groups showed higher healing percentages, reduced mononuclear cell density, increased hair follicle and adipose tissue development, and enhanced collagen levels by Days 7, 14, and 21. These results suggest that Lavandula stoechas could be a cost-effective treatment for diabetic wound healing, though further research is needed to understand its mechanisms and potential clinical applications.
