Abstract

Dushta Vrana represent a significant burden to patient, health care professionals, and the health care system. In India, most of the population still reside in poor hygienic and malnourished conditions, hence the incidence of infection is more and delayed wound healing is also more common. The current treatment which is used to cure the non healing ulcer is by antibiotic, anti-inflammatory drugs, wound debridement, hyperbaric oxygenation, vacuum assisted closure, maggot therapy, etc. Many of such techniques are very expensive and also not successful in many cases. Hence there is a need of an Ayurvedic management to cure the non healing ulcer.

Keywords: Dushta Vrana, vacuum, maggot therapy.
