ABSTRACT

An ulcer is a break in the continuity of the covering epithelium, either skin or mucous membrane due to molecular death and similarly non-healing ulcers are those which do not heal by conservative therapy within six weeks. Non healing ulcer, as the name suggested is very difficult to treat, but they can be treated successfully by single or compound Unani formulations. The treatment of non-healing ulcer is a challenging task for the clinician, because of the various precipitating factors of non-healing ulcers involve; stasis, unhygienic condition, healing disorder, continuous pressure, anaemia and malnutrition. Treatment of a disease solely based on the treatment of cause. Classical Unani literatures are full with wide descriptions of non-healing ulcers (Qurooh-e-Aseerat-ul-Indemaal) and its management. In this case report, non-healing ulcer was successfully treated by Unani compound formulation (Marham-e-Raal) a pharmacopeial agent.
