ABSTRACT
Vranam gatra vichurnane Vrana [wound] is the term for the breakdown, rupture or discontinuity of bodily tissue or a portion there of. One of the vran avastha that is commonly encountered in surgical practice is Dusta Vrana [non-healing ulcer]. Dushta Vrana puts a patient under a great deal of stress, which can lead to a number of consequences or even death. The presence of foreign bodies, recurrent inflammation, underlying co-morbidities and necrotic tissue can all hinder the healing process of wounds. An infected wound takes longer time to heal than a healthy wound. The surgeon's challenge is to transform dusta Vrana into shuddhavrana (tidy wound) and speed up the healing process of wounds. Early wound healing, excellent scarring and a reduction in complications are the objectives. Lekhana karma (scraping) and Gomutra arka (distillate of cow’s urine) parisheka (pouring) are used in the current study to treat non healing ulcer. A case report of a 54-year-old man who had a painful, pus-filled, non-healing ulcer on the dorsum of his left foot with an unpleasant stench. Clinically symptoms like pain, swelling, pus discharge completely reduced with Gomutra Ark Parishek and Lekahana Karma successfully. Keywords: Dusta Vrana, Non healing ulcer, Gomutra Arka, Lekhana, Parisheka, Wound
