Septic Wound

Wounds are a natural part of everyday life that can be successfully treated with the knowledge of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the study of science that is based on herbal remedies. A wound must progress through vrana shodhana (wound purification) and vrana roopana (wound healing) and pass through the four stages of wound healing; dushta vrana (septic wound), shudh vrana (clean wound), roohyamana vrana (healing wound), and roodha vrana (healed wound). Through this, Ayurveda has revealed knowledge for treating conditions that can’t be treating by the modern medicine. Ghee-based herbal formulations claimed to promote wound healing in traditional practices. This article aims to provide probable scientific explanations for using medicated ghrita (ghee) as wound healing formulation in Ayurvedic system of medicine and its clinical importance. Keywords: Ayurveda, Wound, Ghrita, Wound healing.

Wound healing is a complex process and an ongoing challenge for modern medicine. Herein, we present the results of study of structure and properties of ferroelectric composite polymer membranes for wound healing. Membranes were fabricated by electrospinning from a solution of vinylidene fluoride/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (VDF–TeFE) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in dimethylformamide (DMF). The effects of the PVP content on the viscosity and conductivity of the spinning solution, DMF concentration, chemical composition, crystal structure, and conformation of VDF–TeFE macromolecules in the fabricated materials were studied. It was found that as PVP amount increased, the viscosity and conductivity of the spinning solutions decreased, resulting in thinner fibers. Using FTIR and XRD methods, it was shown that if the PVP content was lower than 50 wt %, the VDF–TeFE copolymer adopted a flat zigzag conformation (TTT conformation) and crystalline phases with ferroelectric properties were formed. Gas chromatography results indicated that an increase in the PVP concentration led to a higher residual amount of DMF in the material, causing cytotoxic effects on 3T3L1 fibroblasts. In vivo studies demonstrated that compared to classical gauze dressings impregnated with a solution of an antibacterial agent, ferroelectric composite membranes with 15 wt % PVP provided better conditions for the healing of purulent wounds.

Malaria is a serious infection affecting millions of people in Africa. Our study investigated the personal preferences and applications of antimalarial medicines in Ghana. Based on over 1000 questionnaires distributed in Ghana from January to May 2019, we noticed that although Western medications to fight this disease are widely available, most patients in Ghana prefer treatment with locally produced herbal remedies. This preference appears to be due to a combination of traditional venues for obtaining medicines “on the street” rather than in licensed pharmacies, trust in local and “green” products, extensive advertisement of such local products, and an inherent distrust of imported and synthetic or unnatural medicines. Going local and natural is a trend also observed in other countries across the globe, and adds to the acceptance or rejection of drugs regardless of their activity or toxicity. In fact, adverse side effects associated with herbal remedies, such as general weakness and swollen, sore mouth, do not seem to deter the respondents of this study in Ghana. We propose a combination of (a) increasing public awareness of the benefits of modern medicine and (b) an improvement and control of the quality of herbal remedies to raise the standard of malaria treatment in countries such as Ghana.

Wounds are a major cause of concern for the patient and clinician alike; chronic Wounds affect a large number of patients and seriously reduce their quality of life. Wound healing is the process of repair that follows injury to the skin and other soft tissues. A cream is a preparation of a medication for topical use that contains a water base. Essentially, it is a preparation of oil in water. Herbal remedies used in folk medicine provide an interesting and still largely unexplored source for the creation and development of potentially new drugs, which might help to overcome the growing problem of resistance and also the toxicity of the currently available commercial antibiotics. In this study we have formulated an Aqueous herbal cream satisfying almost all pharmaceutical parameters which shows better wound healing activity. The wound healing of effect of Aqueous Herbal cream of various extracts of leaves of Passiflora foetida L. was evaluated by incision and excision wound model. The experimental results and histopathological studies showed that Aqueous Herbal Cream of Passiflora foetida L. leaves exhibits significant wound healing property as compared to control group of animals.

Bangun-bangun leaves and palm leaves contain various secondary metabolites such as tannins, alkaloids and flavonoids which can healing wound. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ointment combination of ethanol extract of leaves of bangun- bangun (Coleus amboinicus Lour.) And ethanol extract of palm leaves (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) In healing wound. The bangun- bangun leaves and the palm leaves are separated from the petiole and then dried in a drying cupboard so that it becomes a simplisia. Simplisia is extracted by maceration method then evaporated with a rotary evaporator and evaporated again on a water bath to produce a thick extract. Thick extracts from the leaves of bangun- bangun and palm leaves are then formulated into ointment preparations with varying concentrations. Each rabbit was shaved on its back then cleaned with 70% alcohol. Furthermore, rabbits were anesthetized using 0.5 ml Lidocain HCL as much as 0.5 ml subcutaneously. Next mark the part that will be injured with a diameter of 2 cm, by lifting the rabbit skin using tweezers and then made a wound using surgical scissors that have been sterilized first with 70% alcohol. Wound diameter measurements showed that all treatment groups from day 1 to day 23 experienced changes in wound diameter. The combination ointment of ethanol extract of leaves wake-up (EEDB) 10% and ethanol extract of palm oil leaves (EEDKS) 10% have a more effective effect in wound healing than single dose.

Tissue Tension

            The break/loss/rupture of contuinity of body tissue or part of body is called Vrana(Wound). Normally wounds are healed by itself if kept clean.Contamination of bacteria, insufficient blood supply, tissue tension and radiation are the local factors for delay in wound healing. Whereas general factors include malnutrition, malignant disease,diabetes and long term consumption of steroids and cytotoxic drugs.[i]Acharya Shushruta mentioned 60 upakrama for management of Vrana. Acharya charaka classified vrana into 20 types among them dustha vrana is one of them.[ii]In the case 35 yr female presented at opd with complain of non healing wound since 6 months at bilateral lower limbs with signs and symptoms of slough,pus discharge and pain.Ayurvedic management was done for 30 days which cured all the sign and symptoms. Ayurvedic management includes prakshalana by panchavalkal kwath, nimba taila for local application and arogyabardini vati,mahamanjistha kwath and kaishor guggulu per oral. Conclusion: Dustha vrana can be treated by ayurvedic management like panchavalkal kwatha, nimba taila,Arogyavardini vati kaishor guggulu, mahamanjistha kwath.   [i] RAINS A.J.HARDING,  RITCHIE H DAVID in Bailey and Loves Short Practice of Surgery 19th Edition Chapter 1  pg 3 [ii] Acharya Bidhyadhar Shukla,Prof.Rabidutta Tripathi in Charak Samhita Uttarardha Reprinted 2010 chapter 25 pg606
