Abstract

yurveda has many propositions to hepatobiliary diseases which are akin to  modern understanding of hepatology. Besides elaborate clinical descriptions of  various hepatic conditions, Ayurveda further proposes many herbal, Herbo  mineral and dietary interventions to prevent and to manage such conditions.  Kalmegha( Andrographis panniculata ), Bhumiamalki churna, Kutki churna,  are trusted drugs from Ayurvedic repertory which is variously used in many  hepatic conditions. We had gone through a pilot study to evaluate its role in  various hepatic conditions and found that it has a beneficial role in  hepatocellular pathologies. The ayurvedic method aims to reduce disability  while also easing symptoms. Here, we discuss a case of Yakrddalyudara that  was effectively treated by Ayurvedic medicine.
