Abstract

Injuries are an unavoidable part of human life, impacting individuals both physiologically and psychologically. Globally, a significant portion of the population suffers from wounds caused by road accidents or pathological conditions such as varicose ulcers, pressure sores, and diabetic ulcers. Historically, various wound-healing techniques and medicines have been utilized. In contemporary medicine, wounds are often treated with steroids or antimicrobial topical agents; however, these can sometimes be ineffective for complex wound management. Traditional Ayurvedic literature, particularly the Sushruta Samhita, details numerous wound-healing formulations, among which Chandanadi taila is prominent. The topical application of this oil is noted for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic, and antioxidant properties. It shows significant potential in debriding ulcers, enhancing blood circulation, and promoting tissue regeneration. Chandanadi taila serves as a highly effective, natural intervention for alleviating impaired skin integrity.
