Abstract

Kamala is a term used in Ayurveda to describe a disease which resembles Jaundice. In Ayurveda, Kamala is the disease related with pitta dosha. With Ayurvedic medicines, we can treat and avoid recurrence of kamala. Pandu and Kamala are said to be the diseases which are interrelated. They are also said to be have common origin. Pandu is said to be nidanarthakara for Kamala, i.e. When Pandu is not treated properly it can lead to Kamala. Thus, Kamala can be considered as an effect of untreated Pandu or Pandu which runs a chronic course. Pandu and Kamala thus have cause and effect relationship. Pandu Roga and Kamala are treated on same principles and same formulations.
