Abstract

Ayurveda has an eluciative discourse on Anjananamika with a distinct approach. An effort of framing a fast and effective management, which may reciprocate prognosis, is standing at par in present era.It is compared with Stye or External hordeolium in which recurrence is more concern. A prompt attempt was made to provide better relief in a shorter span to Anjananamika by Jalaukavacharana as suggested by Ayurveda. With this objective, a clinical study was carried out under the title “to study the effect of raktmokshan with jalauka avcharan on Anjananamika.” In the present study, references were collected from Veda, Samhitas, Commentaries and related dissertations. It was observed that Anjananamika was emphasized in all texts and treatment was much stressed because of its severe pain and discomfort. Its pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment procedures are elaborately dealt in Brihatrayi & Laghutrayi. Though detailed descriptions are available in Ayurvedic texts regarding Anjananamika, objective parameters are not vivid.Among the various treatments explained in Ayurveda jalaukavacharana is one that could able to provide maximum relief, as it is considered as samshodana therapy and useful in pittaja and raktaja diseases. This present study was an attempt to bring raktamokshana with Jalaukavacharana as a routine OPD procedure.

Keywords: Anjannamika, Raktmokshan, Jalaukavacharan.
