ABSTRACT

Vedana, Varna, Strava & Gandha are the main clinical symptoms of vrana. Pathologically it is believed that etiological factors lead to destruction in mamsa dhatu which causes rakta dushti and resulted Dushtavrana. Vitiated doshas along with external factors also contributes towards the pathogenesis of vrana. Initially Vrana manifested on the skin later on it extended to the deeper sites like; meda, mamsa & asthi etc. Ayurveda described Vrana as Kritya and Akritya depending on the age, strength of patient and severity of vrana. If body tissue possesses ability to regenerate faster than Vrana heals quickly while old patient elder age patient recover slowly due to the degenerative process & delayed cell division. Vrana which having discharge like fatty tissue, CSF & bone marrow is difficult to cure due to penetration of vrana into deeper body tissue. Gandha, strava, vedana, jwara, atisara, hikka, aruchi, kasa avipaka and trishana are complication of vrana.
