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. In the present research has been evaluated which is free from the above mentioned drawbacks. Total 30 patients were taken and randomly divided into two equal groups. Group A: Treated group with Jatyadi Ghrita for local application.Group B: Treated group with Apamarga kshar Pichu for local application. Out of which 100 % patients were cured in group A and 100% patients were cured in group B without any complications. Result was observed on the basis of subjective parameters (Pain, Itching) and Objective parameters (Discharge, Tenderness, Size, Floor and Smell) and analysed statistically. Although Jatyadi Ghrita and Apamarga Kshar Pichu both are effective in curing patients suffering with Dushta Vrana, but on the basis of overall effect of therapy it was found that Apamarga Kshar Pichu had better result than Jatyadi Ghrita.
