TO STUDY THE EFFICACY OF TRIPHALA KASHAYA WITH MADHU IN BAHUPITTA KAMALA (JAUNDICE) OF NEONATES

‘Kama’ means desire. The desire to do something is supressed, in kamala. Alternately ‘Kamala’ is the disease in which ‘Kama’
vanishes. Haranchandra defined kama as a general word & directed to take its meaning as ‘desire of food etc.’ It gets vanished in
Kamala. Jaundice is the “Yellow discolouration of plasma, skin and mucous membranes” due to increased bilirubin level in blood. 6
The normal adult serum bilirubin level is less than 1mg/dL. Adults appear jaundiced when the serum bilirubin level is greater than
2mg/dL, and newborns appear jaundiced when it is grater than 7mg/dL. When the Phototherapy & Triphala Kashaya with Madhu was
given for consecutive 6 days in selected cases, it was found that it is very effective for the treatment of Bahupitta kamala (jaundice) of
neonates.
