Abstract In southern Brazil, the biodiversity is great and traditional use of medicinal plants for wound healing has been documented in ethnobotanical studies pharmacological have assessed their properties phytochemistry. Therefore, this study evaluated surveys regarding used Brazil about these published between 2000 2022. To retrieve articles related to study, Web Science, PubMed (NLM), Open Access Journals, Scielo, Lilacs, Google Scholar, with keywords including plants, healing, South used. As a result, 73 belonging 39 families were found as resource 15 which cited more than once. Besides, 14 also agents worldwide. The most plant actions was Symphytum officinale L. (comfrey). From date, 44 scientifically demonstrated wound‐healing effects Brazilian reviewed. folk medicine presents variety purposes, scientific data some those plants. However, many yet be investigated, current literature still needs phytochemical information studied. Aside from this, future focus should on standardization herbal extracts, further research required investigate mechanisms. Clinical area remains its infancy warrants robust clinical studies.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is currently regarded as a global public health crisis for which lifelong treatment with conventional drugs presents limitations in terms of side effects, accessibility, and cost. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), usually associated obesity, characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, hyperlipidemia, chronic inflammation, impaired β-cell function, insulin resistance. If left untreated or when poorly controlled, DM increases the risk vascular complications such hypertension, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, can be severely debilitating life-threatening. Plant-based foods represent promising natural approach management T2DM due to vast array phytochemicals they contain. Numerous epidemiological studies have highlighted importance diet rich plant-based (vegetables, fruits, spices, condiments) prevention DM. Unlike medications, products are widely accessible, affordable, generally free from adverse effects. Integrating plant-derived into daily not only helps control hyperglycemia observed but also supports weight obese individuals has broad benefits. In this review, we provide an overview pathogenesis current therapeutic DM, particular focus on potential foods.
