Knowledge of wound healing is the basic requirement of surgery; invariably an incidental wound is caused which may sometimes lead to ulceration. The success or failure of a surgical treatment depends upon an apparently small, unimportant and innocent incidental wound. The wound, thus decides the fate of the post operative patient. Innovative combination of drugs having wound healing property was formulated and assigned name as Jati Kalpa Ghrita. Total 110 patients were registered in the present trial. In Group A, out of 75 patients, 8 discontinued and in Group B, 5 patients discontinued out of 35. Maximum wounds were of anal region (65.45%) that got operated for Piles, Fissure, Fistula etc, and Adhishtana of Vrana was Twaka (97.27%), Mamsa (91.81%) and Marma (62.72%). In Group A, 52.3% cases wound was healed in 16-20 days while in Group B it took 26-30 days (51.72%).Average healing days observed in Group A was 20.98, while in Group B it was 22.43. By Pearson Correlation test (2-tailed), in Group A result indicated a significant correlation (0.01).Complete healing was observed in 49.25% of Group A and 47% in Group B, marked healing was seen in 37.71% in Group A and 50% of Group B. The results showed percentage of wound contraction of trial drug was highly significant when compared to control group. Jati Kalpa Ghrita is effective in healing of Shuddha Vrana.
