Episiotomy is planned surgical incision given in the medial or medio-lateral aspect of the perineum to reduce the maternal and neonatal trauma and morbidity associated with delivery. It has short term benefits of episiotomy for doctors is easy to repair compared to a spontaneous perineal lacerations. It also decreases postpartum pain and reduction in severe or 3^rd and 4^th degree perineal tears. Now days the term episiotomy comes into Conside- ration because the perineal tears can gives many complications, like infection, sepsis. But healing becomes problematic even after suturing (as the vaginal PH becomes alkaline in post partum period acc. to modern science) there may be soiling by fecal matter and gives complications.The degree of perineal pain and discomfort associated with preineal tear is often underestimated. Pain often interferes with basic daily activities of the woman such as walking, sitting and act of micturition and that of defecation and also negatively impact on motherhood experiences. Hence a timely intervention of episiotomy can prevent the maternal morbidity.

During post natal period, puerperal sepsis is one of the major concern. As the perineum is highly susceptible to infection due to different secretions like vaginal discharges, faeces and urine, episiotomy wound requires a proper care which could otherwise be self limiting due to high vascularity of perineal area. If not taken care , episiotomy wound may lead to immediate complications like infection, dehiscence or remote complications like dyspareunia, scar endometriosis or chances of perineal lacerations in subsequent labour.

Thus, a sincere attempt has been made in the present study to hasten the rate of episiotomy wound healing by application of Yashtimadhu Siddha Ghrit.
