ABSTRACT

Kamala, a Pittajananatmaja and Raktapradoshaja Vyadhi, is distinguished by the yellowish discoloration of mucous membranes, skin, and eyes. Kamala is classified based on its origin and pathogenesis. There are two types: Shakhashrit and Koshthashrit. Excess erythrocyte breakdown causes Koshthashrita Kamala, also known as Bahupitta Kamala since it increases Pitta (bilirubin) formation. The second kind of kamala, called Alpa Pitta Kamala, is brought on by biliary blockage, which lowers the excretion of Pitta (bilirubin). Most of the symptoms of obstructive jaundice are more closely related to the Ayurvedic Shakhasrita Kamala disease. Obstructive jaundice, sometimes referred to as post-hepatic jaundice, occurs when the extrahepatic biliary pathway between the duodenum and liver is either completely or partially blocked. Other names for Shakhasrita Kamala include Rudhapada Kamala and Vatakapha Pradhana.
