Abstract

Human body is gifted with 5 sensory organs viz eyes, nose, ears, tongue and skin, amongst which eyes are considered to be the most important one. In ayurveda it is said by acharyas that “sarvendriyanam nayanam pradhanam ” At present the world faces an enormous number of challenges when it comes to eyes. Among them allergic conjunctivitis is an escalating one, which is managed by ophthalmologists with the help of antihistamines, NSAIDs, corticosteroids etc. Whereas the same condition can be almost correlated with vataja abhishyanda in ayurveda and its treatment is remarkable with less possibilities of recurrence. Hence, here is a shot to illuminate the ayurvedic intervention of vataja abhishyanda demarcated in samhitas to treat the cases of allergic conjunctivitis.
