  • Abstract:
  • Diabetic foot ulcers are a severe complication of Prameha (Diabetes Mellitus) and present significant challenges, including delayed wound healing, secondary infections, and high recurrence rates.A diabetic foot ulcer is the outcome of peripheral neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease among individuals with diabetes. Out of 62 million diabetics in India, 25% are people affected with Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).[1] Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine, categorizes such chronic wounds under Dushta Vrana, attributing the impaired healing to vitiated Doshas (bodily energies that govern physiological and psychological functions). This case study delves into the effective Ayurvedic management of a diabetic ulcer in a 59-year-old male patient over a three-month period. The patient's treatment regimen involved Trivalkal Kashay Dhara, a herbal decoction therapy applied externally, and Phaltrikadi Kashay, an internal herbal formulation. Trivalkal Kashay Dhara is known for its wound-healing properties, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration, while Phaltrikadi Kashay helps in detoxifying the body and balancing the Doshas. Over the course of three months, the patient showed significant improvement in wound healing, reduction in infection, and overall better management of diabetes.
