ABSTRACT

Acharya Sushruta mentioned prognosis of Madhumehaj vrana as
“Krichrasadhya” (difficult to treat), which is experienced even in
present day practice. Slight injury to glucose laden tissues of diabetic
patients may result in ulcer formation and they become at high risk for
major complications, including infection and amputation. Priyangvadi-
Taila contains the drugs possessing Shodhan and Ropana properties,
thus considered as a good curative measure for local treatment of
Vrana. A case report of Madhumehajanya Vrana successfully treated
by local application of Priyangvadi-Taila has been presented here. The
therapy proved to be very effective and the wound got completely healed within 20 days
without any complications and side effects.
