Dr. Kalpesh Dattani and Dr. Joyal Patel*

Abstract

Surgeons in ancient India defined wound as the solution of continuity of the skin. The healing of wound is the natural mechanism of the body. There are mainly 2 types of wound i.e. Nija and Agantuja. Here I have reported a new case of post wound of insect bite on medial aspect of right ankle joint, presented with painful, severe itching, oedema, and irregular shaped wound since 2 months. A male patient of 68 years old consulted to OPD, Shree Gulabkunverba Ayurveda Hospital, Jamnagar, with above complaint. Aims and objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Madhukadi Yoga in the management of Agantuja Vrana. Materials and Method: This case was managed with External application of Madhukadi Yoga for 12 weeks. Result and Conclusion: This single case concluded that regular cleaning with Phalatrikadi Kwatha and local application of Madhukadi Yoga have healing activity in non-healing chronic wounds(Agantuja Vrana). This formulation is safe, easy to apply and tolerable to the patient without any side effect. This formulation need to be tried in more number of cases.
