Abstract

In Ayurveda, burns are categorized under the term DagdhaVrana, and this concept has been extensively discussed in classical Ayurvedic texts. Among these, the Sushruta Samhita provides the most detailed account, offering insights into the classification, clinical features, and management strategies for burn injuries based on their type and severity. Sushruta Samhita outlines a structured approach to burns, emphasizing the importance of appropriate treatment at different stages of injury. It introduces not only local treatments, such as the application of medicinal herbs and oils, but also broader therapeutic practices aimed at promoting recovery and reducing complications. The text also stresses the significance of understanding the nature of the burn—whether it’s mild, moderate, or severe—in order to implement the most effective remedy. This article delves into the various classifications and clinical features of burns as described in the Sushruta Samhita and highlights the Ayurvedic treatment protocols for DagdhaVrana.
