Key Findings
- The study from Tehran, Iran, found that saffron petal extract helps wounds heal faster in diabetic conditions
- Saffron petal extract boosts cell survival, movement, and new blood vessel formation, which are crucial for wound healing
- Tests on diabetic mice showed that the extract improved skin healing by increasing blood vessels, fibroblasts, and collagen
