Abstract

Ayurveda is ancient medical science. In our ancient samhita, Kamala vyadhi is briefly described. Kamala is Pittaj Nantmaj as well as Raktapradoshaja vyadhi. Charakacharya has considered Kamala as advanced stage of Panduroga. Shushrutacharya has considered Kamala as a separate disease and also may be due to further complication of Panduroga, whereas Vagbhatacharya described Kamala as a separate disease. Kamala can be correlated with jaundice in modern medical science. There are mainly 2 types of Kamala- A) BahuPitta Kamala (Koshtha Shakhashrita). B) Ruddhapath Kamala (Shakhashrita). Here we discuss Sangatmak Vikruti in Ruddhapath Kamala due to gallstone with reference to USG findings.

Keywords: Ruddhapath Kamala, Sangatmak Vikruti, Gall stone, USG.
