Non-Healing Ulcers: Ayurvedic Perspective & Natural Healing Treatments
Table of Contents
Non-healing ulcers, also known as chronic ulcers, are wounds that fail to heal within the expected time frame, often persisting for more than 4 to 6 weeks. These ulcers are commonly caused by diabetes, poor circulation, infections, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic disorders. In Ayurveda, non-healing ulcers are described as “Dushta Vrana”, resulting from imbalances in Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), weak Agni (digestive fire), and accumulation of toxins (Ama).
At EliteAyurveda, under the guidance of Dr. Adil Moulanchikkal, we offer holistic Ayurvedic treatments that focus on root-cause healing, detoxification, and tissue regeneration.
📖 Ayurvedic Understanding of Non-Healing Ulcers (Dushta Vrana)
According to Sushruta Samhita, wounds that do not heal properly are classified as Dushta Vrana and require detoxification (Shodhana), rejuvenation (Ropana), and immune boosting (Ojas Vardhana) therapies.
“Vrana Naam Nidaanam Jneyam Ropanam Cha Yathaa Bhavet”
(Understanding the cause of ulcers is key to proper healing.)
— Sushruta Samhita
🔍 Common Causes of Non-Healing Ulcers
Cause | Ayurvedic Explanation | Impact on Healing |
---|---|---|
Diabetes (Prameha) | Imbalanced Kapha & Pitta cause poor circulation & nerve damage | Leads to diabetic foot ulcers, slow wound healing |
Venous Insufficiency | Weak Rakta Srotas (blood circulation channels) | Causes leg ulcers due to poor oxygen supply |
Infections & Chronic Inflammation | Ama (toxins) block channels and cause delayed recovery | Leads to pus formation & recurrent infections |
Autoimmune Conditions (Vatarakta) | Vata-Pitta imbalance affects immune response | Causes ulcers in rheumatoid arthritis & lupus patients |
Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores) | Vata dominance reduces tissue nourishment | Seen in bedridden patients, poor tissue repair |
Poor Digestion & Malnutrition | Weak Agni (digestive fire) leads to nutrient deficiencies | Delays collagen synthesis & new tissue formation |
Stress & Mental Health Issues | Imbalanced Sadhaka Pitta & Prana Vayu disrupts hormonal balance | Increases inflammation & slows healing |
🛑 Symptoms of Non-Healing Ulcers
✔️ Wound that remains open for more than 4-6 weeks
✔️ Persistent redness, swelling, and pain
✔️ Foul-smelling discharge or pus formation
✔️ Dead tissue (necrosis) around the ulcer
✔️ Burning sensation or numbness (diabetic ulcers)
✔️ Development of blackened skin (gangrene risk)
“Dushta Vrana Yadi Na Shuddhyet, Tatra Shodhana Kriya Vidhi”
(If an ulcer is not healing, purification therapies must be done first.)
