A Critical Review on Probable Mode of Action of Drakshadi Lehya in Koshtasrita Kamala w.s.r.t Hemolytic Jaundice

In the present era, maintaining liver health is increasingly important due to the modern lifestyle choices and auto immune disorders. Ayurveda advocates many hepatoprotective medicines for various liver disorders. Kamala is an ayurvedic clinical condition characterized by yellowish discoloration of eyes, skin and sclera, and can be classified as Koshtasrita Kamala and Sakhasritha Kamala. Koshtasrita Kamala can be crosslinked with hemolytic jaundice due to its similarities in signs and symptoms. Drakshadi Lehya is a polyherbal preparation which can act as Mridu Virechana as well as Rasayana in a patient with Kamala. It exhibits rejuvenative and hepatoprotective actions and is helpful in pacifying Pitta Dosha. It is in Lehya form, a preparation with good palatability, easy mode of administration and better absorption capacity. Here an attempt is carried out to explore the hepatoprotective action of Drakshadi Lehya in addressing symptoms of Koshtasrita Kamala. Dr. Jayalakshmi Venugopal | Dr. Arjun Chand C.
