Necrosis - #18634
A few months ago, I had a small injury on my leg—just a minor cut. At first, I thought it was healing fine, but then it turned dark, almost black, around the edges. It felt numb in some areas and extremely painful in others. When I finally went to a doctor, they said it could be necrosis and that the tissue wasn’t getting enough blood supply. I panicked because I’ve always thought necrosis was something serious that could lead to losing a limb. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and suggested debridement, but I’m hesitant about any invasive procedures. I want to understand if there are Ayurvedic approaches to managing necrosis naturally, especially to improve blood circulation and promote tissue healing. I also have diabetes, which I’ve heard can make necrosis worse. My blood sugar isn’t always in control, and I get frequent tingling sensations in my feet. Could this be making my condition worse? Can Ayurvedic treatments help with both necrosis and diabetic circulation issues? I’ve been applying turmeric paste on the area since I read that it has antibacterial and wound-healing properties. But I don’t know if this is enough. Are there other herbal pastes or oils that could help stop necrosis from spreading and promote new tissue growth? Another thing I noticed is that my digestion has been weak lately—bloating, sluggishness, and a general feeling of heaviness. I read that poor digestion can lead to a buildup of toxins in the body, which might slow healing. Are there Ayurvedic detox treatments or dietary changes that could support wound healing and prevent necrosis from getting worse? My biggest fear is that the necrosis might spread. How do I know if it's getting worse? Are there specific signs I should look for? Can massage or any specific yoga postures help improve circulation and prevent further tissue damage? I would really appreciate guidance on this. Are there Ayurvedic therapies like Panchakarma or specific herbal formulations that could help regenerate the affected tissue? Any lifestyle or dietary changes that could prevent this from happening again?
