Brief Summary  

Ayurveda is a holistic science of life, health & cure committed to healing  wholeness. Shalyatantra is one of the important branches of Ayurveda in which surgical and parasurgical  techniques have  been  described  for  management  of various surgical diseases.

 

In medical practice, healing of wound (vrana) in a short period of time is very important factor. Growing civilization and today lifestyle we come across many such patients with varieties of wound. Sometimes healing will not happen in a healthy way at wound site and it takes lots of time for skin to regain its natural state. Even though healing of wound is a natural process of body, the vrana should be protected from doshadushti and from various infections which may hamper the natural rate of healing of wound. Vrana is the most important and widely described chapter of ShalyaTantra by Acharya Sushruta. Sushruta is known for miscellaneous in surgical  procedures.  He has described Vrana in a very precise manner. 

 

As the sciences advanced, newer therapies are tried out to boost up the recovery process but still the older remedies lead the race. Acharya Sushruta explained vrana in detail in his classical book Sushruta Samhita. As concourse of wound healing procedures described by sushruta samhita still holds its place. Acharya Sushruta explain various kalpa for management of vrana. So in this study, we are highlighting one of the kalpana from Sushruta samhita.

 

Now a days, Betadine i.e. povidone iodine is used for cleaning and dressing of wound. It is an effective and useful germicide. It is widely used for dressing in wounds. However its frequent use is contraindicated because of it’s insolubility and its staining and irritable properties.

Ayurvedic texts grant us the opportunity to treat wounds (Vrana) with cost effective medication instead of surgical procedure. Delayed healing in wound in main complain of patient of vrana .As mentioned in Ayurvedic Samhitas ,Vrana is caused by both Nija & Agantujhetu. ‘  Nimbpatradi Lep’ is an ideal formulation which shows Shodhan and  Ropana effect causes wound healing . Hence it was decided to take up this subject.
