Abstract

Chronic wound is a major hazard to the health care system. It causes long term agony and pain to the patient, pain and ugly look retards the patient from the society. If a person meets with an injury, wound is created and heals naturally with due course of time through normal cascade of healing events but if not managed properly or ignored they may turn into chronic or non healing wounds. A lot of treatment modalities have been developed so far by modern medical science for the management of wound, but it may leave harmful side effects behind or they leave a financial burden to the patients. In India a big part of population lies below poverty line and cannot afford such costly treatment.
