A Case Study of Dushta Vrana Treated with Panchvalkala Kwatha & Tailam

Abstract

Venous ulcers, sometimes referred to as varicose ulcers or stasis ulcers, are lesions that usually occur in the leg and are brought on by abnormal venous valve function. For individuals with chronic venous insufficiency, it is a nightmare and is regarded as one of the most serious issues. An infected ulcer that causes pain, swelling, redness, pus formation, cellulitis, gangrene, loss of movement, and eventually the necessity for amputation could be the outcome of inadequate management. Conversely, recurrent venous ulcers are a common clinical issue. The standard course of surgical care includes debridement, wound dressings, antiseptic solution use, painkillers, and antibiotic medication. According to current studies, there isn't a method that enhances wound healing. This ailment is associated with Dushta vrana (non-healing ulcer) in Ayurvedic literature. In this case study, we produced and used Panchvalkala Tailam in accordance with traditional guidelines. Clinical findings: 5x2cm oedematous venous ulcer lesion; the patient, who had been suffering for 10 years, was cured with Panchvalkala Tailam at a depth of 3.3cm. Outcomes: The slough was completely removed throughout the 30-day therapy period with one follow-up after treatment, which facilitated wound healing. There were no unfavorable events. In conclusion, a case of Dushta Siraj Vrana was successfully treated with Panchvalkala Kwatha, Panchvalkala Tailam dressing, and supportive internal medications. Debridement, Gandhaka Rasayana, and Kaishor Guggulu. A follow-up and two months of medication revealed no adverse effects. This case study illustrates the potential of Panchvalkala Kwatha and Panchvalkala Tailam in Dushta Vrana management. Comparative clinical studies and randomized controlled trials for venous ulcers can be initiated with Panchvalkala Kwatha and Panchvalkala Tailam.
