Vrana is a term used to indicate wound, abscess, injury, ulcer etc. It involves three stages Vrana shopha, Vrana and Vrana vastu which are comparable to the three stages of the wound healing. This also involves the process of inflammation and repair of the damaged tissues of the body. The principles mentioned for the treatment are based on those three stages and the changes occurring during these three stages. In the present study drugs mentioned to be useful in the treatment of the Vrana in the Text Madhava dravyaguna (a 13th century book on the properties of the drugs available at that time) are analyzed to understand their properties and uses in the different stages of the vrana. It was finally concluded that the drug mentioned were having properties like anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, analgesic and anti-biotic and were useful in the treatment of the Vrana.
