        abstract = {Introduction–Rakta is regarded as the essence of life (Jiva or Prana) in living beings. In its natural state (Prakruta Avastha), it supports vitality, a healthy complexion, joy, and long life. When imbalanced, it can cause disorders such as Pandu and Kamala. In Kamala Roga, there is discoloration of the skin, changes in bowel movements (Mala Pravrutti), and buildup of Mala Roopi Pitta.
PATIENT DETAILS – A 3-year-2-month-old female patient with clinical symptoms of Kamla with complaints of yellowish discoloration of both eyes and yellowish discoloration of urine for 4 days. Associated with pain in the whole abdomen, pain in the legs, vomiting after every meal, and reduced appetite for 2 days was selected for the study.
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION – The patient underwent treatment with Ayurvedic oral medications, along with advised Pathya (wholesome diet and lifestyle) and restrictions of Apathya (unwholesome practices) for 15 days.
RESULT - Significant improvements were observed in both clinical symptoms and laboratory findings, including a marked reduction in yellowish discoloration of the eyes and urine, improved appetite, decreased weakness, and lowered serum bilirubin levels, all showing statistical significance.
CONCLUSION - The management of Kamala and its complications, along with drugs, diet, and lifestyle, has been mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. Based on the Samprapti, treatment aims to remove Kapha obstruction and restore the normal pathway of Ranjaka Pitta. This helps normalize stool color and relieve Kamala symptoms, proving the effectiveness of Ayurvedic medicines in its management.},
