Why Wounds Do Not Heal

  • Poor blood sugar control (diabetic wounds)
  • Peripheral arterial disease (arterial ulcers)
  • Chronic venous disease (venous ulcers)
  • Persistent infection
  • Pressure and immobility (pressure sores)
  • Nutritional deficiency
  • Immunosuppression
  • Underlying malignancy (rare)
  • Retained foreign material

Successful treatment addresses these underlying causes.

Our Integrated Approach

Comprehensive Evaluation

  • Wound assessment
  • Underlying cause evaluation
  • Blood sugar, nutrition, circulation assessment
  • Culture and sensitivity
  • Vascular studies where indicated

Local Wound Care

  • Modern wound cleansing and debridement
  • Appropriate dressing selection
  • Negative pressure wound therapy where indicated
  • Ayurvedic topical applications (medicated oils, ghrita, powders)

Jalauka (Leech Therapy)

Classical Ayurvedic Raktamokshana with medicinal leeches, suitable for select non-healing wounds with venous congestion or stagnation.

Systemic Support

  • Blood sugar optimisation (coordination with diabetologist)
  • Nutritional support
  • Ayurvedic internal medication
  • Antibiotics where clinically indicated

Referral Coordination

For cases requiring vascular surgery or higher-level intervention, we coordinate referral appropriately.

Realistic Expectations

Non-healing wounds have failed to heal for a reason. Treatment often takes 2 to 4 months for meaningful progress, sometimes longer for very chronic cases. Consistent care and addressing underlying causes are essential.
