Effect of Zaroor-e-Aelwa in Non-healing Ulcer: A Case Report
Abstract
Non-healing ulcer is one of the major health issues in and around the globe. It affects the quality of life, decreases work efficiency, causes loss in confidence, restricts mobility, causes anxiety, depression and isolation from society. Non-healing ulcers (Qurooh-e-Aseeerat-ul-Indamaal) are those ulcers which fail to heal by conservative treatment within 6 weeks. Its reported prevalence in India in the year 2004 was 4.8 per 1000 population. About 1% of total western population suffers from it. The incidence seems to rise many folds in aged people and the people with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, arterial and venous diseases. Because of common prevalence and non-availability of affordable treatment, non-healing ulcer can be efficiently treated with the drugs having mujaffif, khatim, daaf-e-taaffun and mundammil-e-qurooh actions. In the present study, we treated a patient with clinical diagnosis of non-healing ulcer with local application of Unani formulation “Zaroor-e-Aelwa” with an objective to assess its efficacy for healing of non-healing ulcer. Size of wound reduced greatly with this formulation. It was concluded that Unani formulation “Zaroor-e-Aelwa” is effective in the treatment of non-healing ulcer and can be used as an alternative to the conventional treatment of non-healing ulcer.
