Comprehensive review evaluates Dhoopan Karma's efficacy in managing chronic ulcers, indicating significant therapeutic benefits.

This review synthesizes classical Ayurvedic literature with contemporary scientific evidence to evaluate the pharmacological mechanisms, clinical methodologies, and therapeutic efficacy of Dhoopan Karma in chronic wound care.
