Certain areas, Ayurveda has stamped its mark in the current medical scenario, looking to expand its hold over the main stream medicine, like India Ayurveda too is developing, and is at a comfortable position when compared to other alternative streams with Acupuncture being the next tough compititor, alas ! Homeopathy has turned out of vogue, but nature has got its importance cause we live in her womb ! 

One such area I say is in curing chronic mild to moderate cases of Hepatic pathologies of all kinds, like Jaundice, Gilberts syndrome, Drug induced Hepatitis, Viral Hepatitis, Alcoholic Hepatitis, elevated transaminases etc. The single drug remedy of Phyllanthus niruri for jaundice is well known for all keralites ! A potent herb whose bio-chemical action over liver has been scientifically proved. Many a drug combinations exist in ayurveda for hepato-biliary disorders, like Vasa Guduchyadi, Patola Katurohinyaadi, Punarrnavadi, Drakshaadi etc...The advent of a patent drug called Kamilaari with an advertisement tag of curing alcoholic hepatitis, even though it may seem to be an exaggeration, considering the inavailability of conservative treatments, nature cure seems the only remedy. I don't want to beat around the bush I will give the details of bio-chemical reports of a patient who came to us with presenting complaints of cervical pain and other neurological symptoms with an elevated LFT and BILIRUBIN, who after taking ayurvedic medications showed drastic improvements. The medicines used were, 1.Punarnnavadi kashaya 2.Chandraprabha Gulika 2 tds 3.Liv52 DS 1 tds and 4.Pranada Tab 1 tds, all are proprietary ayurvedic medicines prepared out of herbs ! This is an observation, not any sort of advertisement or documentation !The patient has a history of usage of pain killers and steroids for the same purpose as adviced by an orthopaedician, after which he showed elevated LFT, FBS & PPBS values. The patient's age is 30, a young software engineer, who has no family history of DM. He is also a known hypercholestremic. Whats all this ? Who is responsible ? He has withdrawn all his medications and is upon ayurvedic medications !
