Abstract

Burn injuries are most devastating and painful condition causing major physical, mental, emotional and social trauma. In Sri Lanka, ~10 000 injuries and 100 deaths are burn related annually. Affected patients may lead into post burn complications like contractures, pigmented scar and keloid formation. This study was done in search of more effective, eco friendly and cost effective way to treat burns and to avoid post burn complications. A case report of second degree burn has been presented here. A male patient of 43 years of age presented with complaints of burns over both upper limbs and face due to a burst gas stove. He was associated with pain, burning sensation and slight discharge. The patient was treated with polyherbal internal and external medications used in Rajasekara tradition for a period of 21 days. Changes in subjective and objective parameters were observed during treatments and for a follow up period of 2 weeks. Pain and burning sensation were completely relieved on day 14. Oedematous red coloured wound presented at the beginning was minimal with the treatments. Appearance of healthy granulation tissue was present at the end of treatments. No post burn complications like contractures of the skin and keloid formation were identified during follow up period of 2 weeks. Sulahara, vedanasthapana and ushna guna of ingredients in formulations might support in subsiding pain while sheeta virya benefited in relieving burning sensation. Kasaya rasa, vranaropaka, vranashodana, snehana, krimihara, tvagdosahara, varnya, bhutaghna, lekhana guna facilitated in proper burn wound healing without post burn complications. Charitha. L.
