Abstract

Nimbapatradi dhoopan is an ancient Ayurvedic practice involving the burning of a specific combination of medicinal herbs, including Neem(Azadirachta indica) known for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic treatment, Nimbapatradi dhoopan has been employed in the management of wounds, particularly to prevent infection and promote faster healing. This practice involves the therapeutic smoke generated from burning these herbs, which is believed to have both local and systemic healing effects. The antimicrobial properties of neem, along with other synergistic herbs, make Nimbapatradi dhoopan an effective adjunct in wound care, especially in settings where modern medical treatments may be inaccessible. This study examine the pharmacological properties of the herbs involved in Nimbapatradi dhoopan, the mechanisms through which the therapeutic smoke aids wound healing, and the historical and modern applications of this practice in wound management. It also explores the scientific validation of this traditional method in preventing infections, reducing inflammation and accelerating tissue repair, offering insight into its potential role in complementary wound care treatments.
