Case report demonstrates combined therapy effectiveness in managing varicose ulcers, suggesting a new integrative approach.
Background: Varicose ulcers are a major complication of chronic venous insufficiency and account for approximately 75% of chronic lower limb ulcers. Recurrence and delayed healing are common with conventional management. Ayurveda correlates this condition with vatarakta leading to Vrana. Objective: To evaluate the combined effect of Manjishtadi Kashaya Basti and Jaloukavacharana in the management of varicose ulcer. Methods: A single case study of a 45-year-old male patient presenting with varicose ulcer of the left lower limb was managed using Ayurvedic Panchakarma procedures and internal medication. Results: Significant reduction in pain, edema, discharge and ulcer size was observed along with improved granulation and wound healing. Conclusion: The integrative Ayurvedic approach showed promising results in managing varicose ulcers by addressing both systemic pathology and local wound healing.
