It is spreading inflammation of the skin, deep fascia and soft tissues with extensive destruction, toxaemia. This review highlights about the basic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of Necrotizing fascitis. Aim & Objective: Management of Necrotizing Fasciitis with surgical debridement followed by wound bed preparation and later followed by skin grafting. Material and Method: A 65 old year female patient having wound over the left foot involving superficial and deep fascia was planned for debridement which is the first line of treatment with appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics. Trifala kwath awgahan and, jalaukaawcharan was done for wound bed preparation for few days and later on skin grafting was done for reducing the wound surface area. Result: Necrotizing Fasciitis was successfully treated with modern medicinal support, ayurvedic medicine and para-surgical procedures. Conclusion: Necrotizing fasciitis is an emergency condition and should be managed without any delay. Diagnosis should be done properly with proper surgical management and post-operative wound care.
