AYURVEDIC VIEW ON ULCERS ( VRANA )
According to the Ayurveda ulcers are known as “Vrana”. Which is divided into two types Healing ulcers are called “ Nijaa Varna” and Non Healing ulcers are called “ Dushta Varna”. Varna is the skin condition in which the tissues undergo destruction andafter healing it leaves its scar.
From the Ayurvedic prospective, Vrana formation is a condition of Vata –Kapha origin. Vata is responsible for the faulty division of cells and Kapha for their growth. Hence Vata pushes Kapha out of the balance that results in the formation of Granthi.
Kapha plays the predominant role as it enters the affected dhatus. The dhatus that involves in this are Medas , Mamsa and Rakta. This results in the slow growth of the Granthi.
In non healing ulcers Pitta is vitiated and the condition becomes worst due to the involvement of all the three dosha. The agni becomes dushit and starts digesting the surroundings tissues of the body slowly. In this the dosha also goes to the Mamsa dhatu (Muscular tissue ) and Ashti dhatu ( Bones) , as it goes deep it becomes more difficult to treat.
