1) A 16-year-old male presented with a non-healing traumatic wound on his left hand caused by a sugarcane juicer machine injury. 2) Debridement was performed and the wound was dressed daily with Jatyadi Ghrita gauze and oral herbal medications. 3) Over 5 weeks the wound showed signs of healthy granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and complete healing with pigmentation resembling surrounding skin. The case study demonstrates that dressing traumatic wounds with Jatyadi Ghrita can promote faster healing and minimize complications.

Daily dressing was continued up to 5 week and
epithelialisation of wound was covered within 5
weeks. The colour of epithelialisation resembled with
surrounding skin.
DISCUSSION
Wound requires important conditions to be
maintained :- prevention of infection and slough
formation, maintenance of red granulation tissue.
Probable Mechanism of action of Jatyadi ghrita and
its practical use:-
The shodana and ropana contents in Jatyadi ghrita
drugs found very efficacious as described in ancient
classics. The action of tikta rasa is rakta prasadaka
(blood purifier), ushna veerya is shothahara, ushna
and teekshna are krimighna in nature, action on
tridoshas as calms as Pitta. Shodana drugs on topical
application reduce pain, discharge and oedema of the
surrounding tissue. Initially drugs acts as a debriding
agent, removing slough and necrotic material from
wound and subsequently promotes smooth and
uncomplicated healing. They reduce wound infection
due to their bactericidal action on drug. The dressing
soaked with shodhana drugs provides moist
environment which enhances epithelialisation, prevent
scales formation, beneficial in infected wounds with
drug resistant bacteria.
The content Katuka improves reepithelialisation, neo-
vascularisation and migration of endothelial cells and
fibroblasts into the wound bed5. The jati patola and
sikta have Vrana ropana action. Ghrita prevents fluid
loss from burn wound and also lubricates surface of
wound. Ghrita is having vrana ropana (healing) and
kantivardhana (improving lustre) property so it helps
in early healing with good pigmentation.
CONCLUSION
This case study reveals that wound dressing with
Jatyadi ghrita produces good and faster wound
healing. Also it can help in minimising post healing
complications like hypopigmentation or
hyperpigmentation.
