Significance of Dushtavrana
Dushtavrana, in Ayurveda, refers to chronic or non-healing wounds that exhibit specific characteristics such as intense pain, profuse discharge, and abnormal appearance. These wounds are difficult to heal and often result from the vitiation of doshas within the body. Treatment for Dushtavrana involves specialized approaches to manage these wounds, which may include the use of Kshara and other therapeutic strategies. The term serves as a classification for chronic ulcers that require proper assessment and can lead to serious complications if not addressed effectively.
