Abstract
To assess the effectiveness of marigold therapy, using Tagetes erecta, in the treatment of hyperkeratotic plantar lesions, a double-blind placebo controlled trial was designed to be carried out over a period of 8 weeks. Thirty adult patients were randomly selected and allocated to three groups, Group A treated with marigold preparations plus protective pad, Group B with placebo plus protective pad, Group C with marigold therapy without protective pad. Each group was treated at the clinic once a week for 4 weeks, followed by 4 weeks home treatment. The effect in reduction of corn and callus and in the level of pain was recorded. Marigold therapy was found to be effective for the reduction of corn and callus width, length and the level of pain.
