Gangrene is the medical term for tissue death brought on by inadequate or missing blood flow. It frequently affects the fingers, toes, and limbs and results from infection, inflammation, injury, and degenerative changes. One of the most frequent causes of dry gangrene is frostbite, which is characterized by cold, black, dried-out skin that has withered over weeks or months. In all medical systems, amputation and debridement are the only effective therapies for gangrene. The author has made an effort to present a case study involving a 65-year-old female patient who had frostbite-induced gangrene in her right index finger and was treated with unani drugs, Sharbat Banafsha and Arq Murakkab Musaffi Khoon as oral administration, and Marham Safed Kafoori as topical application.

Finally, without the need for surgery, the frostbitten gangrenous area was debrided, healed, and reconstructed.
