Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is a long standing infection of a part or whole of the middle ear cleft characterized by ear discharge and a permanent perforation. It is an important cause of preventable hearing loss, especially in developing countries. Most approaches to treatment have been unsatisfactory or are very expensive and difficult. As per AcharyaSushrutaKarnasrava is due to head injury or tumbling in water or suppuration of abscess; Vata encircles in the ear and causes the discharge of pus. This study has been carried out with Gugglu (Commiphoramukul) and Nimba (Azadiractaindica) patra which are rakshoghnadravyaused in karnasrava with the process of Karnadhupan. In this study, a patient fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria of CSOM was selected and gugglu and nimbapatradhupanwas carried out in both affected ears for 7 days. The efficacy of the drug was analyzed in terms of the relief produced in the signs and symptoms before and after treatment. The results of the study were found encouraging and a significant reduction in ear discharge was found.
