ABSTRACT

The ayurveda ancient science of medicinal system described Vrana (wound) as a pathological condition which involves destruction or discontinuity of body tissue. Similarly non healing ulcer defined as dushtavrana by ayurveda texts. The healing of wound or an ulcer is the natural mechanism of the body. Naturally wound will heal in one week if no Doshic invasion (infection) takes place. Presence of infection is one of the important factors which impair wound healing. A healthy wound heals with minimum scar as compared to infected wound. Classics of Ayurveda especially Sushruta has elaborately explained details of wound & its management. A clean wound in a normal body heals earlier as compared to contaminated wound. Wound healing is mechanism where the body attempts to restore the integrity of the injured part. Here in this research paper we have discussed three cases of Dushta vrana with the rationality of different Ayurvedic management like shodhana, ropana and shamana chikitsa.
