Kamala (Jaundice): An Ayurvedic Perspective

Abstract

From the beginning of time, Ayurveda has offered us a message of improved living via its practice of medicine
and other life sciences. Jaundice, or Kamala roga, has been discussed in detail by ancient sages such as Vagbhata,
Susruta, and Charaka. Medications, nutrition, and lifestyle choices have all played a role in Kamala's care. as
stated in the ancient texts of Ayurveda. In the sixteenth chapter of Chikitsa Sthana, Charaka describes Kamala and
Pandu roga, the anaemia sickness, which he views as an advanced stage. Both the ailment and its primary cause,
Rakta, are Pitta-predominant, and Charaka views this as an advanced stage of Pandu roga. According to Harita, it
might be Pandu roga in one form or another, whereas Susruta brought it up as an a problem with Pandu roga and
other diseases; Vagbhata also distinguished it from other diseases.
