Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Kadara has been enumerated and described in the classical literature under the heading of Kshudra Rogas. However meager this disease may seem to be, it has a major impact on the physical fitness and mental tranquility of the patient1-4 . Kadara as described by the Samhitas can be closely related to lesions of the skin caused by hyperkeratosis. This disease can be correlated to conditions which involve hyperkeratosis of the skin over certain areas prone to mechanical stresses. Ayurvedic classics have advocated the use of various procedures to treat the Kshudra Rogas. Agnikarma has been mentioned for the proper management of Kadara5-7 . The management Kadara is aimed at removal of the hyperkeratosed lesion by Agnikarma along with or without Shastra karma. Fifteen patients having signs and symptoms of Kadara were selected and Agnikarma with Panchloha Shalaka was done. Assessment of the lesion was done before treatment, after treatment and 7 days after treatment. During the course of the study it was observed that while Agnikarma with Panchaloha Shalaka in patients presenting with Kadara showed immediate results by physically burning and destroying the hyperkeratosis lesion. Due to its property of achieving and maintaining high temperature; Panchaloha Shalaka was as useful in treating large and deep Kadara lesions, as much as, it was in management of smaller lesions.
