Abstract

Carbuncle is a group of boils, which is caused by Methicilin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). If it is untreated, it may causes serious complications like sepsis and infections in other parts of the body. In Ayurveda, Carbuncles are said to be pidakas. These pidakas are one of the major complications of diabetes. Acharya susrutha explains carbuncles as 10 types. In this article we tried to manipulate the ayurvedic view on carbuncles, their types and the traditional medicines which are given to control it. This article may give a vital platform for the scholars who work on this topic.
