Abstract

Arma Vyadhi can be compared with pterygium in modern science. There is no conservative treatment in alternative science, so we planned to search the result of Guduchyadi Rasakriya Anjana. Randomized single blind placebo controlled study was conducted on 40 patients of Arma and grouped into two. Group-A received Guduchyadi Rasakriya Anjana, while Group-B received placebo eye drop (distilled water) for a period of 21 days. Guduchyadi Rasakriya Anjana showed insignificant result in reduction of the length of Arma, visual disturbance, astigmatism, while significant results were observed in reduction of redness, foreign body sensation and watering of the eyes. Results suggest that Guduchyadi Rasakriya Anjana is helpful for prophylactic use as well as to avoided recurrence.
