Abstract

Wound is described as a break in the continuity of any body tissues. Ayurveda as decribed many formulations, medicines for oral as well for local applications to accelerate wound healing. In Ayurved chronic wounds are called Vrana. These are subcategorized into sadyavarna (acute) and dustavarna(chronic). There fore I am presenting a case of 51 year old married male with complaints of wound over posterior aspect of right elbow joint with pain, foul odour, non-healing since 4 months inspite of taking allopathic medicines. On examination it was found that surface area of wound was 22*18*0.3 cm having skin loss involving necrosis of subcutaneous tissue. Neccesary investigations and viral markers were done prior to initiation of treatment. The wound was irrigated with Triphalakwathand dressing was done with Nimbaoil daily followed by oral intake of triphalagugglu 500mg twice in a day, Shigru swarasand Guduchiswaras15 ml twice a day for 30 days. Periodic follow up was done. This was helpful in faster wound healing, Epithelization and reducing wound exudates.
