Hepatic Disorders: Ayurvedic Perspective

Abstract

Kamla is a very common disease in our country. It is difficult to diagnose. If properly diagnosed, the Sadhya: asadhyat (prognosis or curability and incurability) can be forecasted easily. The patient also can be informed what treatment is to be given. Varieties: Ayurvedic classics give two types of Kamla, viz Kosthashrit and Shakhashrit (Caraka Sutra) while in chikitsa 16 maharishi Caraka has classified the same in two different names: (1) Koshtha: Shakhasrit and (2) Shakhashrit Kamla are given. Kamla can occur as a result of faulty treatment also; in other words Kamla can also be produced as an iatrogenic disorder also.

Keywords: Kamla, Kosthashrit, Sadhya: asadhyat
