Abstract

  Background: Wound healing is a major task in the field of surgery. Proper initial care will prevent infection and enhance healing.

Already it is proved fact that Panchavalkal is having the shodhana and ropana roperties and being frequently used in every speciality of Ayurveda.

Conclusions: It showed presence of total solids 11% and pH 4.25, tannins, alkaloids and saponins which may be act as vranaropana and shodhana clinically.
