Abstract
Vidhrdhi or Pyogenic abscess is a common entity comes across in day to day life. It presents as a localized swelling with pain, reddish discoloration, local rise of temperature, tenderness and restricted function of the affected part. There will be an invasion of pathogenic micro-organisms and it got the tendency of suppuration. When the pus has been collected, then the mandatory surgical intervention has been mentioned both in Ayurveda as well as contemporary science in order to drain the pus. But sharp instrumentation is the dread factor for the patients and is difficult to handle in vital locations such as axilla groin, neck etc. Darana karma is one among Shasti upakrama described by Sushruta and is meant for this kind of situations only. It is the application of Teekshna dravyas over the suppurated abscess in order to open the pus cavity to facilitate the drainage of pus. Pratisaraneeya Ksharas are considered as best Darana dravyas. A clinical study was conducted in 20 patients of Pakva Vidhrdhi which are subjected to Darana karma by selecting Kshara as a choice of drug. Application of Kshara to a great extent helps to break the pus cavity and drainage of pus due its Bhedana, Darana, Shoshana, Shodhana etc properties. It showed the high significant difference from baseline in all variables (p < 0.001) both statistically and clinically. It is a simple, cost effective, OPD procedure which gives considerable result in draining the pus from the suppurated pyogenic abscess and to sustain the non infective state of the wound.
