Critical Analysis of Badhirya with special reference to Hearing Loss
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Maharshi Sushruta has mentioned 28 types of Karna-Roga in Uttar Tantra and Badhirya is one among them. Badhirya is caused due to the vitiated Vata Dosha or Vatakapha Doshas by deranging or obstructing the Shabdavaha Srotas (pathway of hearing) or Shabdavaha Sira (auditory nerve) or due to negligence of Karnanada etc and gives rise to diminished hearing or incapability of hearing. Deafness is defined as a partial or complete inability to hear. Defect at any level from sound transduction to interpretation can cause hearing loss. Therefore, deafness (hearing loss) can be considered under the caption of Badhirya. In the present study, a review is presented on Badhirya and hearing loss to enlighten the correlation and thus providing an alternative treatment option for hearing loss.
