ABSTRACT

In all over the world, out of all accidental death 2.10% males and 3.40% females died due to burns. It is a major socio-economical problem related to dowry deaths, so it is necessary to study this problem with depth so taken as a study topic. Burns are classified as 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th degrees. In 1st degree burn the skin looks red and is painful, no blisters are seen. In 2nd degree burn the skin is mottled, red, and painful with blisters. It is further divided into superficial burn which heals by causing pigmentation and deep burn which heals by causing pigmentation and scarring. 3rd burn is characterized by charched, insensitive, painful skin whereas 4th degree burn is characterized by involvement of muscles, bones. Acharya Sushruta has mentioned plushtam dagdha characterized by discoloration and severe burning, dur dagdham by blisters, redness, Hence it resembles 1st and 2nd burns described by modern context. Aacharya Sushruta has mentioned the use of Yashtimadhu, Rodhra, Manjistha, Chandan siddha grita as uttam vranaropak in burn. Yashtimadhu has Dahashamak, Vedanasthapak, Vrana-ropak properties. Hence I have decided to study the Dahashamak, Vrana-ropak (healing properties) properties of Yashtimadhu Ghrit on burn as compared with silver sulphadiazine and to evaluate the efficacy of Yashtimadhu siddha Ghrit.
