Abstract
Bahupitta Kamala is a subtype of Kamala described in Ayurveda. Madyajanya Bahupitta Kamala arises due to excessive alcohol intake, leading to aggravated Pitta and Rakta dushti, affecting liver function. It closely correlates with Alcoholic Liver Disease presenting with Jaundice and Hepatitis. Clinically, it manifests as yellow discoloration of the sclera and skin, Agnimandya, Daurbalya, and Mutra-Peetata.
Modern management mainly focuses on symptomatic relief and abstinence, whereas Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach targeting root causes. This article explores Ayurvedic perspectives of etiology, pathogenesis (Samprapti), and clinical features, along with correlation to contemporary diagnosis. Therapeutic interventions include Nidana Parivarjana, Shamana using hepatoprotective formulations like Bhumyamalaki, Guduchi, and Kutki, along with Pathya-Apathya guidelines. A case-based analysis demonstrates significant improvement in symptoms and liver function parameters, suggesting Ayurveda as an effective, safe, and integrative approach in managing alcohol-induced liver disorders.
