Type: article
Abstract: Many studies have been conducted on treatment of burns to minimize the post healing scar. Application of ghrita (ghee) is mentioned as one among the shashti upakramas (60 treatment modalities) mentioned in Susruta Samhita. Ghrita (ghee) has the properties of healing wounds and increasing luster. In this study, the ghritas used are Satadhouta ghrita in the initial phases and Jayadi ghrita in the later stages. Satadhouta ghrita has the property of daha hara and jatyadi ghrita is indicated in vrana sodhana and ropana. Observations in this study showed that faster wound healing and good epithelialization is possible with the application of these ghritas.
