Brahmi rasadi taila, Mandali visha, Nonhealing ulcerAbstract
Kerala has its own traditional vishachikitsa sampradaya, including emergency management of bites and post-bite alignments. Many Malayalam visha chikitsa granthas contain abundant literature on treatment modalities used during that time. Visha vaidya jyotsnika is one among them, which comprises many yogas that were once effectively used and now remain less explored. Brahmi rasadi taila is explained in the sixth chapter Mandali visha chikitsa of Visha Vaidya jyotsnika. It is indicated for external application in mandali damsta vrana. Non-healing ulcers are a common complication of snake bites, that require more medical attention. This yoga contains 13 ingredients and brahmi, durva, nalpamara, haridra, paranti, madhuka are some of them. This article aims to discuss the probable mode of action of Brahmi rasadi taila in post-viper bite ulcers through its pharmacological properties. This article also aims to discuss the application of this yoga in other conditions like malignant ulcers, venous ulcers and so on.
