Sometimes, patients feel pain in eyes and head, also patients come complain with vertigo and hair fall. Ayurveda treat to root cause of the problem naturally. Very few of patients and people know Ayurveda also have a very good treatment for eye problems to avoid surgical procedures. Even if patients start to follow the life style according to Ayurveda with treatment then results come very quicker. According to Ayurveda, eyes are the place of Pitta dosha. Sometimes AAM is also an important factor which affects the eyes. AAM is associated with tridosha called as SAM DOSHA like sam vata, same pitta and sam kapha. Ayurveda described 76 types of eye disorder with their treatments. So according to Ayurveda, firstly AAM must be treated. It means Ayurveda doctors start the treatment with AAM pachan.

Luke warm is a very good AAM pachak. After proper langhan, we start oral medication and pacnhkarma. For this 100 patients, age more than 15 years complain of high number of eye glasses and 50 patients of pre-diagnosed cataract. Then divided into 2 groups of each type of the patients, Group A & Group B and Group AC & Group BC. Group A & B contain 50-50 patients. Group AC and BC contain 25-25 patients. Group A is treated with maintained life style such as yoga, luke warm water, sun bath and follow Ayurveda way of daily routine according to ritucharya (season/climatic condition) etc with Ayurveda oral medicine. Group B is treated including panchkarma (Netra tarpan) and Netra shalaka. Both groups treated by chakshushya herbs like aamla, kantkari, Sounf, haridra with some classical preparations like saptamrit louha and eye drop of Ark of palash mool. After langhan- pachan, in addition, Group B is also treated by Netra tarpan (panchkarma) with local application of Netra Shalaka of swarnkshiriadi churna. Both group also prescribed by eye wash with trifla kwath and trifla churna at bed time for koshth shuddhi. Group A and C treated as same manner as Group A, B and C treated as same as Group B. All patients advised to use 3 drops in each eye of ark of palash 3 times in a day.
