LITERARY REVIEW OF VRANABANDHANA ACCORDING TO ACHARYA SUSRUTA
Tarun Meena*
ABSTRACT
Tieing knot is of three kinds viz above, at the sides and below the wound. Thick wick of drugs should be kept on the wound and a soft pad kept on it. The paste of drugs inside the wick should not be very unctuous or dry, very unctuous paste gives rise to exudation and very dry paste causes abrasion of the wound, That with suitable unctousness helps healing. If the wick is not placed properly it causes friction of the edges, makes for more flow, so the physician should apply the wick of paste in the proper manner, knowing the nature of the wounds. In wound produced by pitta or rakta the wick should be applied once only and in wounds of kapha and vata origin, it may be applied many times. All kinds of bandaging ending with the tight kind should be applied appropriately. This is the procedure even for joining of damaged lips. Bandaging should be done with good knowledge, in such a way that the wound will not cause any trouble to the person for getting up, lieing down, sleeping, walking, riding etc.
