Poor blood circulation, diabetes, nerve damage, prolonged pressure, infection, trauma, and poor nutrition prevent wounds from healing naturally.
Chronic ulcers form when the body fails to repair damaged tissue. Such wounds remain open for weeks or months, often becoming infected and painful.
Diabetic Ulcers: Occur due to poor circulation and nerve damage in diabetes.
Pressure Sores: Develop from continuous pressure over bony areas.
Varicose Ulcers: Caused by venous insufficiency in the legs.
Infected Wounds: Delayed healing due to microbial growth.
Ayurveda considers chronic wounds as a result of vitiated Vata and Pitta. Treatment focuses on cleansing, infection control, tissue regeneration, and improving circulation using medicated oils, herbal pastes and internal medicines.
Maintain blood sugar levels, keep wounds clean and dry, avoid prolonged pressure, ensure proper nutrition, and follow foot-care routines.
