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. Although Dhillon and Singh (2003) claimed
the successful treatment of tail gangrene in buffaloes, the author has made The
patient's improvements after 60 days of undergoing Unani treatment were
remarkable and admirable. Finally, without the need for surgery, the
frostbitten gangrenous area was debrided, healed, and reconstructed.
