Abstract

Backgroud: Gluteal abscess is a common complication of intramuscular (IM) injections, usually caused by infection due to improper aseptic technique or tissue trauma. It presents with localized pain, swelling, redness, and may lead to systemic infection if untreated. Standard management involves incision and drainage along with antibiotic therapy. However, wound healing remains a crucial aspect of recovery. Integrative approaches, including the use of Various kashayas like Triphala kashaya (shodhana) and taila (Ropana) Specially Jatyadi Taila—known for its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties—may enhance tissue repair and promote faster healing.
