Acharya Sushruta has described six types of wounds which occur accidentally by sharp or blunt instruments called sadyo vrana or agantuja vrana (Su.Chi. 2/9).

So, after going through different texts it has been found that resin of shorea robusta has been described to have good healing property. It is a good disinfectant, antiseptic and fumigant.

The results were assessed in pre and post treatment designed proforma. In this group bleeding was completely relieved whereas more than 90% relief was obtained in pain, tenderness, size. Symptoms like itching sensation, color, surface, smell, discharge were relieved upto 50 to 75 % respectively. The details of drug action, statistics, reports are as below.
