A case study of Dushta Vrana treated with Vrana Lepa w.s.r. to Sahasrayoga

Abstract

The destruction/ break/ rupture/ discontinuity of body tissue/ part of body, is called Vrana.^[1] Dushta Vrana is an issue that is frequently seen in surgical practice. The presence of Dushta Vrana (Non-healing ulcer) can harm the patient's state, causing various complications and even death. Slough, infection, and foreign bodies are all factors that might cause a wound to take longer to heal. In comparison to an infected wound, a healthy wound heals faster. As a result, it is critical to maintain the wound clean throughout its healing process. Every surgeon's main goal is to achieve good wound healing with little scarring and the least amount of pain. Acharya Sushruta has ornately explained six forms of Dushta Vrana^[2], and Dushta Vrana treatment is comprised of a variety of medications, which are roughly classed as Vrana Shodhana and Vrana Ropana. Sushruta has mentioned regarding Shashti Upakrama (60 modalities of wound management) for Vrana Chikitsa.^[3] In present study, Vranalepa is selected as topical application for Vrana Shodhana action. A case report of 34 year old man, who presented an open ulcer on the posterior aspect of the right thigh associated with pain, discharge, slough and foul smell has been presented here.
