Abstract
In proper skin healing, inflammation will stop once the harmful microbes are removed. However, an excess and prolongation of inflammation can result in delayed healing. Thus, interventions that can limit the amount of inflammation can help promote wound healing. The use of olive oil in wound therapy has been of great interest. Herein, we will review studies that investigated the use of olive oil on diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, perineal ulcers, and chronic ulcers.
