Abstract:
Karshya is the most wide spreading health and nutritional
problem in developing countries. Protein energy malnutrition is
a possible condition which may be correlated with Karshya. The
present study was undertaken to find out the effect of
Vidarikandadi Vati and Kshirabala Taila Basti in the management
of Karshya in children. Thirty patients were studied and
randomly divided into two groups namely Group-A and Group-B.
Group-A received Vidarikandadi Vati and Group-B received
Kshirabala Taila Basti. Effect of drugs was observed at the end
of thirty days. In group-A, 13.33% patients showed moderate
improvement and 86.67% patients showed mild improvement, marked
improvement was not found in this group. In group-B marked,
moderate and mild improvement was observed in 13.33%, 73.33% and
13.33% respectively. It was concluded that Kshirabala Taila
Basti is useful for the management of Karshya in children when
compared to Vidarikandadi Vati.
