Summary of article contents:
Hepatitis B is one of the most common causes of liver disease, and due to unawareness of the safety measures, more prone to spread. As per the World Health Organization, for the South East Asia region, its prevalence is 2%. Yellowish discoloration of the eyes, body, and urine, abdominal discomfort, and vomiting is its cardinal symptoms. In Ayurveda, this set of symptoms is known as Kamala. This case report illustrates the effectiveness of the Ayurveda treatment modality in a patient with a viral load of 3705.71 IU/ml, and the values of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were 140 IU/ml and 173 IU/ml, respectively. A 40-year-old female patient with a complaint of yellowish discoloration of urine, eyes, and skin with fatigue and irritability was diagnosed with Ubhayapatha Ashrita Swatantra Kamala. The patient was treated with Ayurveda drugs and Virechana Karma (therapeutic purgation). After the treatment for 13 months, the disease was cured. Improvement was observed based on hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (hepatitis B DNA PCR) (decreased from 3705.71 IU/ml to <50.0 IU/ml) and the values of AST (decreased from 140 IU/ml to 19.0 IU/ml) and ALT (decreased from 173 IU/ml to 28 IU/ml). The patient was stable and asymptomatic during the follow-up period of 4 months. Keywords: Ayurveda, hepatitis B, jaundice, Kamala, Virechana Karma
