Articles were limited for 10 years from January 2009 to May 2019 which can be accessed full text in English.Type of literature included were review articles and research articles which the research area is in human. A qualitative analysis was performed to interpret the data. Therewere5847articlesbasedonthekeywords.Fourstudiesmettheinclusioncriteria then were analyzed. Results of this review stated that it has been recently proved that ozonized olive oils are effective to care diabetic ulcer.
