The Role of Triphala Kwatha in the Management of NonHealing Ulcers

Non-healing ulcers, commonly corresponding to Dushta Vrana in Ayurvedic literature, remain a significant clinical challenge due to impaired wound healing mechanisms. Triphala, a classical polyherbal Ayurvedic formulation consisting of Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), has long been valued for its woundcleansing (Shodhana) and healing (Ropana) properties. This review evaluates the pharmacological actions, traditional uses, and clinical potential of Triphala Kwatha (decoction) in the treatment of chronic, non-healing ulcers, based on classical Ayurvedic texts and modern pharmacological research.
