Wounds are said to be non-healing when does not improve after four weeks or does not heal within eight weeks. The causes of delay healing are many that are local causes and systemic diseases but the root causes are reduced tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and neurological problem. Sushruta classical text of Ayurveda has elaborately explained sixty types of procedures for the management of wounds to achieve good early healing without complication. His techniques are broadly classified as Vrana Shodhana (wound cleaning) and Vrana Ropana (wound healing). Vimlapana is the upakrama advocated in the management of Vrana at the site of sopha that may work by dispersing the accumulated Doshas in the corresponding srotas so that srotosangha may be released and pathology may break. the utility of Vimlapana karma is still a question thus in the present study the review has been done to understand the possible mechanism of Vimlapana karma in the management of Vrana (wound).
