ElaborationThis is one of the sixty modalities used to treat a wound. Sometimes the wound doesn’t heal properly because of the body hair present at that area. So these hair need to be removed. They should be cut with the help of forceps and scissors.
Some substances are applied over the skin for this purpose. E. g. powder of conch, Yellow arsenic etc. If a wound is having hairs within it, they do not allow healing of the wound properly, causing disturbance in the healing process. The procedure is sometimes adopted to remove unwanted body hair as a cosmetic measure.
