Abstract

Jaundice is a condition in which a yellowish tinge appears on the skin, in mucous membrane and the sclera. Body fluids colour also changes. Jaundice frequently indicates a problem with liver functioning. Clinical signs of jaundice occur when the serum bilirubin level exceeds 2.5 to 3 mg/dl. In Ayurveda Jaundice described as Kamala. Ayurvedic text has mentioned hepatocellular jaundice as Kamala. Kamala due to frequently intake of Pittakara Aahara (Spicy and fast food). Its leads to vitiation of Pitta Dosha. This condition arises due to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha, which is responsible for metabolism, energy, and digestion. Kamala is such a disease where in the Rakta Dhatu is vitiated primarily by Pitta Dosha. Kam means different type of desire of body and mind desire especially regarding the diet and physical activity of body are minimised in Kamala. In Kamala disease there is loss of desire to do anything.In this article, IPD patient is discussed in the Kaychikitsa department. The main complaints were the yellowing of skin, icterus, yellow urine, loss of appetite and abdominal pain. This patient has been effectively treated with the combination of Avipattikar Churna, Argyavardhini Vati and Phaltrikadi kwath. These Ayurveda rules reduce the symptoms of Daurbalya (weakness of weaknesses), Kshudha Mandya (loss of appetite), and Pitmutrata (discolouration of yellow urine) Hrullasa(nausea) and Udarshoola. In addition, the drug reduces bile in blood circulation and normalises other blood parameters.
