Hi Bhanmathi,
I’m sorry your mum is going through this. Has the discoloration changed in size or color recently? Does she have any swelling, and does the pain increase at certain times of day? Is there any history of circulation problems or varicose veins in her family?
In Ayurveda, your mum’s condition may be related to poor circulation and imbalanced Pitta dosha, causing stagnation and slow healing. I would suggest a gentle herbal formulation with Manjistha and Turmeric to support the skin and circulation. A warm oil massage with Sesame oil or Ashwagandha could help improve circulation. A diet focused on controlling blood sugar and reducing inflammation will be beneficial.

Hello Maam,
This is a case of poor circulation and impacted venous circulation . The stagnation of blood needs to be rectified first . Can be done effectively through Ayurvedic treatments but I would suggest you take an opinion from an Ayurvedic surgeon for ulcer & wound management. Ayurvedic protocol has excellent results in such cases.

Good afternoon ,
Let me know the HbA1c value and try to get it low if it range from 5.5 to 6.6 then start with Tab Nishamlaki 2-0-0 ( morning 2 tablet on empty stomach)
so ask them not to stand foe long time and while sleeping keep legs leavated so that blood will drian back and reduce pain.
based on their few blood reports we can go for Sira vedana treatment its small and simple treatment
contact for further details

The description of your mother's condition might indicate a venous ulcer, which can be difficult to heal particularly with underlying conditions like hypertension and borderline diabetes. It's important to attend to these kinds of sores promptly to avoid complications. Since conventional treatments haven't been effective in this case, let's delve into some Ayurvedic approaches that might offer relief, while ensuring professional medical support is also pursued.
First, managing the underlying conditions, specifically the borderline diabetes and high blood pressure, can significantly aid in healing. This can be achieved through dietary measures. Encourage your mother to consume a diet rich in whole grains like barley and mild spices like turmeric, as these can support circulation and stabilization of vata-dosha which often attribute to pain. Also, avoiding processed sugar and heavy, greasy foods is crucial.
Local application can play a significant role. Triphala guggul is often suggested in Ayurveda to help with wound healing. You may apply a clean paste of turmeric with a bit of neem powder on the affected area, as both have antiseptic properties. Just be cautious and make sure she isn't allergic to these.
Herbal decoctions such as Arjuna, renowned in Ayurveda for improving circulation, can be consumed regularly. About a small cup twice a day could assist in strengthening veins and enhancing blood flow.
Regular detoxification with herbs like Guduchi and Neem to pacify Pitta can further support, but 'her you should consult a local Ayurvedic practitioner to consider the right dose.
Yoga and light exercises like leg raises might improve circulation in the legs, although alongside professional supervision in her case.
As the wound is not healing and causing severe pain, it's essential to continue interventions under a healthcare provider's advice to prevent any infections or worsening. You should coordinate with a healthcare professional to integrate any Ayurvedic practices safely into her existing care plan. Timely professional assistance is crucial unders such circumstances.
