Summary of article contents:
Ayurveda literature have emphasized at various places to take care of Vrana (wound), which occur due to vitiated Doshas or any trauma. Sushruta, an eminent surgeon of his era, was much ahead of his time in expounding and practicing the beautiful concept of Vrana Ropana (wound healing). The Shalya Chikitsa brings out very clearly that Vrana (wound) is the most significant surgical entity and the knowledge of its effective management is the basic skill required on which the outcome of surgery revolves. There is a constant need to deal with the infection and problems of healing in different surgical disorders. The term Patradana was coiled by Sushruta for the prevention of wound from various infections (Rakshoghna Karma). In this relation, Acharya Charaka in Dvivraniya Chikitsa Adhyaya explain a Sutra (verse) in which the Patra (leaves) of the six ayurvedic herbs, Kadamba, Arjuna, Nimba, Patala, Ashvattha and Arka are mentioned for Vrana Rakshoghna Karma (for wrapping after applying wound healing medicine over a wound). So in this article, in spite of explaining well established wound healing and anti-inflammatory property, we try to evaluate the antimicrobial activity on this six herbs which successfully proves its Rakshoghna Karma in the treatment in wound.
