Although Vrana is the oldest known ailment, its high prevalence worldwide is still a matter of concern. In India, most of the population still resides in poor hygienic and malnourished conditions, so the incidence of infection is maximum and delayed wound healing is more common. Application of the Tailayogas for Shodhan and Ropana of Dushta Vrana is one among the 60 upakramas of Vrana.

This Taila yoga contains the drugs possessing Shodhan and Ropana properties, thus considered as a good curative measure for local treatment of Dushta Vrana
