Dushta Vrana - #5367

Dushta Vrana refers to a chronic or infected wound that is slow to heal, often associated with inflammation, infection, or poor circulation. In Ayurveda, it is treated by addressing both the internal and external factors contributing to the wound's condition. External Treatments: Herbal pastes like Neem, Turmeric, Brahmi, and Basil are commonly used. These herbs have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Medicated oils such as Kshirabala oil or Dhanwantaram oil may be used to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Poultices of herbs like Turmeric or Guggulu can be applied to reduce infection and swelling. Internal Treatment: Blood purifiers such as Guduchi and Manjistha are used to cleanse the blood and support healing. Anti-inflammatory herbs like Ashwagandha and Turmeric can help reduce pain, swelling, and redness. Digestive support is also emphasized, as proper digestion is seen as crucial for tissue regeneration. Swelling & Heat: Swelling and heat in the affected area are common symptoms of inflammation. Ayurveda aims to reduce Pitta dosha, which is linked to heat and inflammation, with cooling and soothing herbs. Healing Time: The time for healing depends on the wound's severity, but with Ayurvedic treatment, improvement is typically seen within a few weeks. However, for chronic cases, it can take longer. It’s important to follow a proper regimen and consult an Ayurvedic doctor for a personalized treatment plan. It’s essential to keep the wound clean and avoid further infection. If the wound worsens or if there's significant pain, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
