A CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF JALAUKAVACHARANA AND SARIVADYASAVA IN YUVANAPIDAKA (ACNE VULGARIS)

Abstract

Yuvana pidaka is a disease produced due to morbid Kapha, Vata and Rakta Dosha involving Rasavaha and Raktavaha Srotas. This disease under the heading of Kshudra roga and later scholars of the science accepted the same, reflecting the fact that this disease occurs in the early adulthood and subsides later and remains in few patients in the later age also. Even though this is not a life threatening disease it definitely produces impact on the life style, daily routine activity and social hesitation. To treat this condition only shodhana or shamana therapy are not sufficient. A combined effective line including shaman and shodhana will be more helpful in tackling the disease. Thus the present study is planned to know the combined therapeutic effect of the Shamana Oushadi sarivadyasava and as shodhana Raktamokshana with Jalauka.
