 In the Chikitsa of Parikartika, Acharyas have mentioned Madhura, Kashaya Rasa, Sneha Yukta Dravyas in the form of Pichu, Varti and Lepa which pacifies Vata and Pitta Doshas.

              Parikartika is considered as Sadyovrana, Acharya Sushruta has mentioned Pichu Prayoga in the context of Shashti Upakrama in the management of Vrana. Pichu is a treatment modality in which drug delivery increases by the contact time between the tissue and drug and as it increases the bioavailability of drug, Hence there will be early reduction of symptoms and ulcer takes less time to heal.

              Kajjalikodaya Malahara is mentioned in Bhaishajaratnavali is having properties like Lekhana, Krimigna, Shodhana and Ropana, It acts as Vranashodhaka and Vranaropaka, so it has been selected in the treatment of Parikartika.

              Jatyadi Ghrita is having properties like Tridoshahara, Lekhana, Shodhana and Ropana,    which acts as Vedanahara, Vranashodhaka and Vranaropaka.
