Abstract

Pressure ulcer is a sequel of tissue necrosis and ulceration due to prolonged pressure. External pressure of more than 30 mmHg on the skin leads to ischemia (reduced blood flow) causing ischeohypoxia, necrosis and ulceration. It is more common between bony prominence and an external surface. It may be due to impaired blood supply, defective nutrition and neurological deficit. Ayurveda describes this type of non-healing ulcer in terms of Dusta vrana, in that context Acharya Sushruta had also mentioned it as "Dirghakalanubandhi” which suggests that these kind of ulcers take longer time to heal due to underlying reasons. This article is about the single case report of a 51-year-old male patient with a stage 3 decubitus ulcer over the right heel since 2 months. As decubitus ulcers especially of stage 3 is difficult to cure, ayurvedic management with internal medication and external therapy was performed in this reported case. For Internal medication, Tablet septilin (A Patent medicine of Himalaya pharmacy, India) and Punarnavadi kashay (A Patent medicine of Vaidhyaratnam pharmacy, India) was used for enhancement of better wound healing. For external application Paste Katupila and honey was applied for 30 days. According to the assessment, wound showed good response within 10 days and was completely healed in 30 days.
