Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Anterior uveitis is one of the common blindness causing disease in world. The current approach for treatment of anterior uveitis is, to reduce the inflammation with the help of corticosteroids and other NSAIDs either locally or systemically. Even the concept of immunosuppression and immunomodulation has been introduced for the management purpose of uveitis. But, yet it is a riddle to overcome the side effects of these drugs and also these drugs are not promising about the consequences and recurrence of diseases. So it is rational to adopt a integrated system of medicine which is having same effects on disease entity but producing less side effects to the patients. Ayurveda can play an important role in integrated system of medicine for the management of diseases and it’s consequences and recurrences. The objective of this paper is, to develop a conceptual understanding of pathogenesis of Anterior Uveitis in ayurvedic perspective as well as in biomedical perspective to build up a integrated concept, which can provide a base, to discover the integrated systems for the treatment of uveitis.
