Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Vrana is one of the problems which have been managed by human being from beginning of civilization. The science of “Vrana Ropana” seems to be a serious matter of concern to the ancient healers. This fact can be very well understood while going through the surgical text - Sushruta Samhita where a good number of chapters deal with the science of Vrana alone. Vrana literally means a discontinuation of tissues. It is seen as debilitating and scaring disorder usually seen affecting the human being at any age. There are so many factors responsible to make healing process delayed. Though a variety of chemical substances have been evaluated and patented as wound healing agents, their inability to become successful drugs is due to the fact that these are able to act only at a particular step of the healing cascade. It is likely that more effective wound healing agent would be developed from natural products. The same thing is also being tried by Ayurvedic experts; present work is also a further step in this path under herbal preparations named “Panchvalkal kwath mentioned in Bhavprakash and Tiktadya ghrita”,which is mentioned in Chakradutta in Vranashotha Roga Adhikara for the treatment of Vrana. In this research study total 30 patients were registered and treated in one group, The clinical study was treated with Panchvalkalkwath (Prakshalana) and local application of TiktadyaGhrita. Encouraging results were observed in the clinical trial. Study emerges that Panchvalkal kwath and Tiktadya ghrita possess better wound cleanising and wound healing properties.
