Hello Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern. I understand how distressing it can be to deal with circulatory problems and a chronic venous ulcer. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅MY SUGGESTION
Consult once to Ayurvedic Shalya tantra specialist for thorough physical examination a
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF MANAGEMENT
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
1 Kaishor Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food with warm water. ( Detoxifies blood, reduces inflammation, promotes wound healing, and improves circulation.)
2 Punarnavadi Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food. (Reduces swelling and venous congestion; supports kidney and fluid metabolism.)
3 Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily with warm water after food (Enhances urinary and circulatory functions; helps in long-term detoxification.)

5 Veinflux NC 1-0-1 after food ( to improve blood circulation)
✅EXTERNAL TREATMENT
👉Wound Cleansing and Dressing:
Wash gently with Triphala decoction daily. Apply Nimbadi Taila over the ulcer and cover with sterile gauze. ( These oils help in granulation, antiseptic action, and faster healing.)
👉Massage & Circulation Care:
Daily gentle Abhyanga (oil massage) from foot to thigh using Kottamchukkadi Taila. ( Always massage in an upward direction to support venous return.)
Avoid applying oil directly over the ulcer—only on surrounding areas.

Light, easily digestible food with less salt and oil. Include garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and black pepper in your diet.

Keep legs elevated while sleeping to aid venous return.

Deep-fried, sour, salty, or very spicy foods. Standing or sitting for long periods without movement. Tight footwear or clothing around legs. Cold exposure or bathing in cold water (worsens Kapha).

HELLO,
Your complaint- poor circulation In the legs leading to a venous ulcer above the left ankle for more than 6 months- means that blood from your leg veins in not flowing properly back towards the heart
As a result -blood collects in the lower legs called venous stasis -pressure increases inside the veins, causing fluid leakage and tissue damage -overtime, this leads to ulcer formation, usually around the ankle area -because circulation is sluggish, healing becomes very slow
In Ayurveda, this condition is mainly due to -Vata dosha aggravation= leading to improper movement of blood -Rakta dushti (impure or congested blood)- causing stagnation -Sira dushti (veis disorder)= leading to weakened vein walls and ulceration

Addressing circulation issues and the resulting venous ulcers involves a multi-step approach within the principles of Ayurveda. The primary objective is to improve blood circulation, strengthen veins, and promote healing of the ulcer, while addressing any underlying dosha imbalances, most likely Vata and Pitta.
1. Diet and Nutrition: Focus on a Pitta-Vata pacifying diet. Include warm, cooked foods and avoid excessive spicy, oily, or processed foods. Favor sweet, sour, and salty tastes, which are grounding for Vata. Incorporate fruits like pomegranate and grapes, and vegetables such as carrots, beets, and cucumbers. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can be a valuable addition—add it in moderation to your meals.
2. Herbs and Supplements: Guggulu and Ashwagandha may help to support healthy circulation and tissue healing. Consider Arjuna and Gotu Kola for vascular health. Use Triphala at bedtime to promote bowel regularity, as it can help reduce toxin accumulation (Ama) which can impede circulation.
3. Oil Massage: Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm medicated oil, such as Mahanarayan oil or sesame oil, can enhance circulation and calm Vata. Massage the legs gently, using upward strokes, to help in the movement of blood towards the heart. Make sure to avoid massaging directly on the ulcer.
4. Local Treatment: To aid in the healing of the ulcer, local application of a paste made from neem leaves or applying honey can be beneficial. These substances have antiseptic and healing qualities.
5. Lifestyle Adjustments: Elevate your legs while resting to aid venous return. Engage in mild exercise like walking or yoga to enhance circulation, but avoid prolonged standing or sitting.
6. Hydrotherapy: Warm water foot baths can be helpful. Add salt or Epsom salt to the water, as this can reduce swelling and improve circulation.
