Abstract
Prasutaa Yoni Kshata comes under the category of Sadyovrana, subcategorized as Chinna / Kshta Vrana (cut wound). Despite the rich blood supply of the perineum, which facilitates easy wound healing, there is still a risk of contamination by lochia, faeces, urine, etc., so there is a need for proper care of episiotomy wounds to avoid complications. Study design: An open-labelled randomised control clinical trial with pre-and post-test designs. Materials and methods: 40 Females who underwent normal vaginal delivery with episiotomy were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 20 each. In Group A, Nimbaadi Lepa was applied on the surface of a su-tured episiotomy wound with 1/4th Angula (0.44cms approx.) thickness, and in Group B (control) Kumari Majja with Haridra Lepa was applied two times a day for seven days. Follow-ups: on the 7th and 15th day. Results ob-tained were tabulated and statistically analysed using the Friedman, Wilcoxon signed rank, and Mann- Whitney U tests. Both groups showed statistically significant results within the group. Comparison between 2 groups shows Nimbaadi Lepa is slightly more effective than Kumari Majja with Haridra Lepa. Conclusion: Both the formulations proved effective on statistical value in terms of Vrana shodhana, Vrana ropana, Vedanasthapana, and Shothahara properties for episiotomy wound healing.
