Dr. Raju Bind*, Dr. Nikunj Thakkar and Dr. H. N. Soni
ABSTRACT
Kamala is rakta pradosaja vikara, where there is aversion towards all desires. Two types of Kamala are mentioned
in Ayurveda classics viz- Koshthashakhashrita Kamala and Shakhashrita Kamala. Koshthashakhashrita kamala is
characterised by Peet netra, peet mutra, Twaka, varchas, Daurvalya, Aruchi, Agnimandhya, jwara, Chardi, Daha,
Avipaka and Hatendriya. Conventional or synthetic drugs used in the treatment of liver diseases are inadequate
and sometimes can have serious side effects. In absence of a reliable liver protective drug in modern medicine,
there are number of medicinal preparations in Ayurveda recommended for the treatment of liver disorders.
Jaundice is also a common liver disorder which is observed in good amount of patients in the routine medical
practice. It is included under Pittaja and Raktaja Rogas, as a complication of Pandu Roga when it is treated
improperly. Vagbhatt also have stated that if Pitta dominant person indulges in Pitta Prakopaka Ahara and Vihara,
then there is possibility of Svatantra manifestation of Kamala. Considering all these the present study was under
taken to evaluate the efficacy of Devadaliphala nasya in management of Koshthashakhashrita Kamala.
Keywords: Koshthashakhashrita Kamala, Devadaliphala nasya.
