A Case Study on Jatyadi Taila Vrana Basti in the management of Dusta Vrana with special reference to Venous Ulcer

Abstract

Wounds may be caused by trauma or by physical chemical and microbial agents or ischemia. The word “healing” means replacement of damaged or destroyed tissue by living tissue of same kind of tissue or different. The four basic processes which take place in wound healing are - Inflammation, Wound contraction, Epithelialization and Granulation tissue formation. There are many factors which influence the wound healing like age, nutrition, hormones, co-morbid conditions, place and position of wound, blood supply to the area exposure etc.[1] But involvement of infection will not allow the wound to heal and convert it into Dusta Vrana (chronic wound). Vrana Basti (oil pooling treatment) with Jatyadi Taila helps in managing Dusta Vrana effectively by controlling the healing environment. A case of 30-year male presented with complains of non-healing ulcer in left lower limb, above the medial malleolus with slough, discharge, foul smell, discoloration of surrounding skin has been presented here. There was complete healing of the ulcer after 30 days of treatment. In this case Jatyadi Taila shows its Shodhana, Ropana and Raktaprasadana property.
