Abstract :
Under normal conditions, wounds typically heal within a set timeframe through a series of regulated biological processes. However, when these processes are disrupted, wounds can become chronic, leading to non-healing ulcers. Over time, various treatment methods have been developed to address non-healing wounds. Despite these efforts, some wounds remain unresponsive to conventional treatments, resulting in persistent, refractory ulcers. This ongoing challenge places a significant burden on both healthcare systems and affected individuals in the community. Chronic wounds not only increase hospital stays and medical costs but also severely impact patients’ quality of life. As a result, finding effective strategies for managing non-healing wounds remains a critical focus in both clinical and research settings. The primary objective of every surgeon is to achieve optimal wound healing with minimal scarring and the least amount of discomfort. Acharya Sushruta has elaborately described six types of Dushta Vrana [1], and the treatment of Dushta Vrana involves the use of various medications, broadly categorized into Vrana Shodhana and Vrana Ropana. Sushruta has also mentioned Shashti Upakrama (60 modalities of wound management) for Vrana Chikitsa. In the present study, Nimbapatradi Varti was selected as a topical application to assess its efficacy in Vrana Shodhana and Ropana action.
