Development of A Herbal Transdermal Patch for Cracked Heels: A Novel Approach
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Cracked heels, or heel fissures, are a common issue caused by dryness, pressure, and poor foot care. Conventional treatments often offer limited relief and may cause irritation. This study explores the development of a transdermal patch using Datura metal (Datura) and Brassica juncea (mustard oil), known for their anti-inflammatory, healing, and emollient properties. The paper outlines the phytochemical profiles, formulation techniques, evaluation parameters, and challenges in transdermal delivery. This herbal-based approach aims to provide a safe, effective alternative for managing cracked heels through the integration of traditional medicine with modern drug delivery systems.
