Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Pishtak is one of the shuklagata netraroga described by Ayurveda Acharyas in texts like Sushruta Samhita, Ashtang Hridaya etc. Pishtak can be compared to Pinguecula which is formation of yellowish white patch on bulbar conjunctiva near limbus. The disease is more common in outdoor workers and people living in hot climates.In modern science there is no specific treatment. Only lubricating drops are given which temporary give relief but recurrence occurs frequently. According to Ayurveda Pishtak is aushadhisadhyavyadhi. Acharya Sushruta described many Anjana Kalpas in Uttartantra for various eye diseases. Pathyadi Anjana Varti is one of them which is used to treat Kaphaja Vyadhi. Pishtak (Pinguecula) is also Kaphaja Vyadhi. The formulation Pathyadi Anjana contains drugs Pathya, Haridra, Yashtimadhu which all are Chakshushya. Pathyadi Anjana Varti is the lekhananjana. Hence the formulation Pathyadi Anjana is selected for clinical study from Sushrut Samhita.
