| Kamala is Pittaja Nanatmaja as well as Raktapradoshaja Vyadhi. Kamala has been classified as Koshthasrita (Bahupitta Kamala) and Shakhasrita (Ruddhapath Kamala). Ruddapatha Kamala (Shakhashrita Kamala) is produced due to the obstruction of normal Pittavaha strotas by Kapha and Vata, resulting in Pitta vridhi in the Rakta dhatu.Kamala can be correlated with jaundice in modern medical science according to their resemblance in signs & symptoms. In a CT scan, obstructive jaundice (Ruddhpath kamala) appears as dilated bile ducts within the liver and along the common bile duct (CBD). A CBD diameter greater than 10 mm suggests dilation, indicating obstruction, and the scan will also reveal the location and potential causes of the blockage, such as a mass, gallstones, or inflammation |
