AYURVEDIC VIEW SCARS= dushta vrana(chronic wound) with shotha(inflammation) and Granthi like vriddhi(nodular overgrowth) -mainly caused by pitta-raita vitiation and kapha involvement(leading to fibrosis/thickening)
TREATMENT AIMS TO -remove dushti-toxicity -enhance romana-healing -balance tridosha and promotes rakta suddhi
INTERNALLY TAKE

2)MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA + GANDHAK RASAYANA COMBO -mahamanjisthadi kashaya- 40 ml twice daily -gandhak rasayana- 500mg with warm water twice daily after food
-manjistha purifies blood tissue and clears pigmentation and inflammation -gandhak rasayana is sulphur based , highly rejuvinatize for chronic skin/scar tissue and enhances skin tone, reduces stiffness
3)KANCHANAR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice a day with warm water -breaks down granthi(hard fibrous tissue) -clears kapha+meda+mamsa dushti causing tissue overgrowth

2)TAMRA BHASMA+SHATDHAUTA GHRITA -very potent for fibrous/keloid type scar -antifibrotic, antibacterial , enhances micro circulation
LOCAL PROCEDURES YOU CAN GO FOR IF AGNI KARMA ISN’T ENOUGH WORKING

THINGS TO AVOID -avoid trauma, friction, or over scratching the scar -avoid oily, spicy, or junk food -avoid exposure to direct heat or cold on the scar
-GENTLE MASSAGE with warm oil daily -turmeric milk at night with pinch of black pepper drink -yoga to improve blood circulation
TIMELINE TO SEE RESULTS
INTERNALMEDICATIONS- onset of visible effects= 2-3 weeks, full effect= 3 months
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS- onset of visible effects= 10-15 days, full effect- 2-3 months
AGNIKARMA/KSHARA KARMA- onset of visible effects= 2-4 sessions, full effects= 6-8 weeks
CAUTION -Do not apply raw turmeric , garlic, or harsh scrubs- they worsens scars -dont abruptly stop agnikarma

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Agnikarma can indeed be an effective treatment for hypertrophic scars, especially when we consider its benefits mentioned in texts like Sushruta Samhita for managing stubborn skin conditions. It’s considered a powerful procedure for managing local conditions. However, the time it takes to heal varies greatly depending on factors like the size of the scar, your skin type, and overall health. It’s not uncommon for patients to notice improvements over a period of several weeks to months. Remember to follow the instructions provided by your Ayurvedic practitioner closely, as they can offer personalized guidance based on your progress.
Along with the ongoing agnikarma, integrating specific dietary and lifestyle support can aid your healing process. Eating a balanced diet that pacifies Pitta dosha might be beneficial, as hypertrophic scars can sometimes be aggravated by excess heat or Pitta imbalance. Consider incorporating cooling and hydrating foods into your meals such as cucumber, cilantro, and mung beans.
Externally, applying balaswagandhadi thailam or similar vata-pitta balancing oils might help in softening the scar tissue. Gently massaging the affected area once a day can improve circulation and promote healing. However, make sure the skin is not raw or inflamed during this procedure.
Practicing gentle yoga or pranayama can enhance overall circulation and oxygenation throughout your body, indirectly supporting skin regeneration. Ensure you continue any regimens or exercises that are advised by healthcare professionals.
Avoid direct excessive exposure to sunlight on the scar, as it might cause further irritation or discoloration. When stepping out, cover the area if possible or use a recommended natural sunscreen.
While these suggestions can complement your ongoing treatment, regular follow-ups with your Ayurvedic physician will be essential to monitor healing and make any necessary adjustments. Supportive treatments can enhance the effects of agnikarma, leading to a comprehensive approach to healing.

HELLO HIMANSHU,
Hypertrophic scars are raised , thickened areas of skin that develop where skin has healed after an injury.

LOCAL APPLICATIONS
1) JATYADI TAILA- wound healer and tissue regenerator dose- apply twice daily - morning and before bed- over the scar Duration- minimum 6-8 weeks or until scar softens and flattens =promote wound healing, reduce fibrosis and improve skin texture
2) KUMKUMADI TAILA- for skin rejuvenation and discolouration dose- apply at night, after jatyadi taila dries or alternate days duration- continue fr 2-3 months = enhances complexion, reduces pigmentation, softens scar tissue. very effective in post-injury scar aesthetics
