Plain X ray showed disrupted and necrotic proximal phalanx suggestive of diabetic foot ulcer with osteomyelitis. Despite using antibiotics and antidiabetic drugs for past three months she didn't get significant response and was suggested for toe amputaion. Hence, she approached our hospital for further treatment. We successfully treated the patient with the holistic approach of surgical debridement, medicinal leech therapy (MLT), irrigation of the wound with triphala decoction, jatyadi tail dressings, oral ayurvedic antidiabetic drugs to control blood sugar levels and a mixture of herbo mineral drug which is having antimicrobial property.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DFU may lead to infection, gangrene, amputation, death of the patient.
