Abstract

Burn wounds having coagulative necrosis, is the most devastating and painful condition causing major physical, mental, emotional and social trauma. According to the depth of the necrosis, burns are classified into degrees or grades. The use of ointments, oils, and other topical treatments is a messy operation that does not serve the objective of contact layer dressing. Additionally, there is no uniformity for the amount of drug used in each dressing, resulting in drug wastage. In Bhaishajya Ratnavali, Manjishtadi Taila is mentioned for the management of burns, which possesses Raktapitta Shamaka, Daha Prashamana & Vrana Ropaka properties. Considering the above qualities, this Yoga is taken in the form of Vikeshika for the study. Manjistadi Vikeshika seems to have the qualities of an ideal contact layer dressing, desired healing within 21days of time period. Also, it showed negligible post burn complications and achieved early pigmentation i.e., Savarneekarana.
