Post-operative wound care is of prime importance after a successful operative procedure. In post-operative wound care the wound must be kept in a sterile environment as chance of infections are very high because of the exposed epithelium, as well as the granulation tissue needs to be kept under constant monitoring. Daily dressing and proper wound care is of prime importance in early stages as it helps in safer and faster healing. In modern practice we use dressing materials such as plain sterile gauzes, tulle gauzes impregnated with various anti-bacterial agents and ointments for local application.Each of the preparations and method of dressing

varies based on type, site and nature of pathogens, etc. involved in formation of wound.

Similarly in Ayurveda the concept of vikeshika has been mentioned for wound management but this does not have Krimighna property or anti-microbial property of its own. Merging the concept of vikeshika and Ghrita siddhi together we are making vikeshika impregnated with herbal medicated Ghrita that will be a ready formulation for dressing. Shigru and Yashtimadhu both plants have anti-bacterial, antifungal, anti-gastric, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties and have been clinically proven in several research studies. Significant research on Shigru and Yashtimadhu has been conducted in the past but their role in wound care isn’t highlighted enough even after having all the successful qualities for wound care management, such as anti-bacterial, antifungal anti- inflammatory properties.
