Abstract Context: In Ayurveda, Yashtimadhu is being used as one of the healing drugs in the management of different kinds of wounds. The preparations made from Yashtimadhu such as Churna, Ghrita, Taila, and Malahar are being practiced in wound care unit to treat different kinds of wounds as local application. Multiple treatment modalities are mentioned in Sushruta Samhita for the management of various types of Vrana. Aim and Objective: This study was to standardize the finished product Yashtimadhu Taila to confirm its identity, quality, and purity. Yashtimadhu Taila is standardized using different parameters like pharmacognostical study including organoleptic characters such as color, odor, and taste. Subjects and Methods: Yashtimadhu Taila is prepared as per Sneh Kalpana mentioned in Sharangdhara Samhita. The pharmacognostical study includes organoleptic characters such as color, odor, and taste. The pharmaceutical study of Yashtimadhu Taila includes specific gravity, acid value, saponification, iodine value, and refractive index by the following standard procedures as per the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India, and chromatographic examination includes high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) study. Results: All the physicochemical parameters show acid value (0.4883), saponification (178.7), iodine value (82.91), and refractive index (1.4820). HPTLC profile of the methanolic extract of the drug showed 14 spots at 254 nm and 8 spots at 366 nm. Conclusions: This study will be helpful to establish the safety profile, efficacy, and acceptance of classical parameters for further research studies.

Stasis ulcers of the gaiter zone are difficult to heal due to deoxygenated blood congestion in peripheral areas and lack of oxygenated blood supply. Venous ulcers occur due to insufficiency of distal peripheral veins in legs. This manuscript refers to three cases of nonhealing venous leg ulcers treated with local application of Apamarga Kshara Taila along with some oral drugs. Three patients of nonhealing venous ulcer of the gaiter zone were treated with ayurvedic treatment protocol. In all patients after Panchavalkala Kwatha wound wash, Apamarga Kshara Taila was applied locally on wound once daily up to complete wound healing. In this series, wound healing was achieved in 96 days, 27 days, and 38 days, with a unit healing time of 4.311, 7.287, and 3.677 days/cm3, respectively. For the past 8 months, all three patients are living symptom-free life without any reoccurrence. On the basis of these cases, it can be said that Ayurveda principles of ulcer management have shown a promising role in wound healing and resuming improved quality of life without any untoward effects.

Tennis elbow is a painful condition and causes restricted movement of forearm which requires treatment for long period. Till date only symptomatic treatments are available like use of anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs, steroids injection, physiotherapy, exercise etc. But none of these provide satisfactory result. Long term use of anti-inflammatory, analgesic drugs and steroids injection is also not free from the adverse effects. Usually, ‘wait-and-see policy’ of treatment guideline is recommended in most of medical texts. According to Ayurveda, snayugata vata can be correlated with the condition of tennis elbow. Sushruta has advised Agnikarma for disorders of snayu (ligaments and tendons), asthi (bone), siddhi (joints) etc. Hence, in this study a case of tennis elbow (snayugata vata) was treated by Agnikarma, along with administration of powder of Ashwagandha and Navajivana Rasa orally, for a period of 03 weeks. This combination therapy provided considerable relief in pain and movement of the elbow joint.
