This clinical study deals with the management of Asrugdara using
Amaranthus viridis and Symplocos racemosa. Total

Group A was treated with 5g of powder of A. viridis and
group B, S. racemosa,twice a day for the duration of one month. Assessment
criteria was based on the improvement in the score of cardinal
symptoms and other common symptoms before, during and after the
treatment. There was a statistically significant reduction

the treatment period. The other common symptoms werealso successfully reduced. A. viridis was found to
be more significant in comparison to S. racemosa, and it
is more effective to relieve and control Asrugdara.
