Effect of Kaphahara Basti and Rohitakadya Churna in the management of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) - A Case Study
Abstract
Non - Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the building of extra fat in the liver cells that is not caused by alcohol. NAFLD can be considered as Santarpanajanya Vyadhi (disease caused by to sedentary lifestyle, faulty dietary habits and lack of physical activities). Kapha, Ama and Meda play a major role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. One such case of Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease came to Panchakarma OPD of Pt. Khushilal Sharma Govt. (Auto) Ayurveda College and Institute Bhopal. The patient was managed conservatively through Ayurveda medicine (Rohitakadya Churna) and Panchakarma therapy (Kaphahara Basti). After one month of treatment, all the subjective and objective parameters showed a remarkable response on both subjective and objective parameters. The patient’s condition got better and there was pathological remission shown on the ultrasound. This case study aims to investigate the Ayurvedic therapeutic method and mechanism of action of Kaphahara Basti and Rohitakadya Churna in the management of NAFLD. At the end of the study, it can be concluded that the treatment regimen has a significant role in the management of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
