Abstract

Because of lack of well-established medical treatment, diabetic wounds are conservatively treated by surgical debridement of necrotic tissue as well as by controlling blood sugar level. A variety of treatments had been evaluated for the management of diabetic wounds. In ancient India, Acharya Charak and Acharya Susrutha has mentioned Gomutra as the most effective substance with innumerable therapeutic value. It is one of the important contents of Panchagavya containing 5 important substances obtained from cow, namely mutra, kshira, gritha, dadhi, and gomaya. Gomutra has the medicinal properties like bioenhancer, antibiotic, antifungal and anticancer and anti-diabetic potential due to its antioxidant properties. Besides, external application on excision wound has shown to hasten the wound healing. The Paranthyadi taila has been mentioned in classics in the context of Mandala Visha Chikitsa for the treatment of the wound caused by the bite of Mandala Sarpa. It is also a better choice of treatment for healing of any types of wound. It is used to remove dermatitis, spider bite etc. also used for the treatment of wounds, ulcers, it is also effective in conditions arising from Dushtarakta, wounds with exudations & associated with itching. The main ingredient is Narikela taila which is popular for its pleasant aroma, taste, powerful antioxidants, and wound healing properties. It pacifies Vata and Pitta Dosha while it increases Kapha dosha. Udumbara is Shita virya and treats bleeding disorders instantly. It alleviates Pitta and Rakta dosha, and burning sensation. Aswattha helps in wound healing, reducing pain and swelling and acts as haemostatic. The taila also acts as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial antipruritic.
