Ayurvedic review on Pathya Apathya in Kamala Vyadhi

Author(s):

Ayasha Nilkanth Raut and Dr. Yashashri A Vitonde

Abstract:

This review focuses on the Ayurvedic perspective of Kamala Vyadhi, which is correlated with jaundice in modern medicine. Kamala is primarily a disorder of Raktavahastrotas, with Pitta as the main causative factor. The ancient Ayurvedic texts, including Charak Samhita and Sushrut Samhita, offer a detailed description of the condition and its management through diet and lifestyle modifications, collectively referred to as Pathya and Apathya. The review emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet in mitigating the progression of Kamala by promoting liver health and metabolic function. The role of various Ayurvedic formulations and dietary interventions in managing Kamala is discussed, alongside the significance of adhering to Pathya to achieve optimal health outcomes.
