ROLE OF ABHIJITA TAILA NASYA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PRATHAMA PATALAGATA TIMIRA (SIMPLE MYOPIA)
Abstract
Myopia, commonly referred to as short sightedness is the most common eye disease in the world with substantial social, educational, and economic impact. Poor vision for distance - short-sightedness is the main symptom of myopia. Timira is one among Dristhigata Rogas, which starts from Avyakta Darshana and ends in complete loss of vision Linganasha. Abhijita Taila Nasya helps in clearing the eyesight and alleviates Timira. This Taila has been suggested by the great Sage Nimi in Timira stating that it restores vision even to the blind.Therefore this study was planned to evaluate the effect of Abhijita Taila Nasya in Prathama Patalagata Timira with special reference to Simple Myopia.
Key Words: Timira, Nasya, Prathama Patala, Myopia, Taila.
