Essential Oil Infused Pain Relief Bandages for Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs): Medical Textile Innovation

Author(s) Ms. Sudharshini G M, Prof. Dr. Yasotha P
Country India
Abstract Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, emphasizes holistic healing through the use of natural resources and lifestyle balance, with polyherbal formulations playing a central role in enhancing therapeutic efficacy and reducing toxicity. This review explores the relevance of polyherbal Ayurvedic formulations and essential oils in the management of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), focusing on skin-mediated drug delivery mechanisms. The structure of human skin and its major drug penetration pathways intercellular, transcellular, and appendageal—are discussed, highlighting the dominant role of the intercellular lipid pathway in transdermal absorption. The use of penetration enhancers to overcome the stratum corneum barrier is also examined. Essential oils such as eucalyptus, lavender, and rosemary, known for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, are reviewed for their potential in MSD management. Furthermore, the concepts of oleophilicity and oleophobicity are analyzed in relation to textile and bandage modification for improved oil delivery and fluid management. Advanced surface engineering approaches combining chemical modification and micro/nanostructuring are shown to enhance oil absorption or repellency as required. Overall, the integration of Ayurvedic polyherbal oils with engineered textile-based delivery systems presents a promising, non-invasive strategy for effective pain relief and musculoskeletal therapy.
