Abstract

In the present world, major group of diseases called lifestyle diseases are sprouting and growing like mushroom. Too many people are dying relatively young from these lifestyle related diseases. Among these disorders, a group of liver diseases is one of the major fast growing groups of diseases. Main reason for this is the insult that we show in the form of improper life style to our liver, which is the major metabolic organ in the body. Jaundice is the major sign that we come across in many of the liver diseases. Ayurveda also speaks about this under the heading of Kamala. Kamala is a disease entity which occurs primarily due to vitiated Pitta Dosa. It is also a Raktaja Vikara. Kosta Shakashrita and Shakashrita are the major two types of Kamala among different types of Kamalas mentioned in the classics. Kamala includes a spectrum of liver diseases that we come across in contemporary medical science. Before blindly prescribing the readymade medicines it is very important to understand the pathology of that disease. Once this is done it is easy to get into treatment aspect.
