Ayurveda is traditionally skilful in treating liver diseases for centuries. Although named Jaundice as a liver disorder was not mentioned in Ayurveda literature but based on common characteristics and Pathology, Kamala can be correlated with jaundice. Jaundice is a clinical manifestation of disorders of underlying bilirubin metabolism, hepa- tocellular dysfunction, or biliary obstruction. Jaundice occurs in settings of cholestasis or inability to effectively secrete bile as well as disorders of bilirubin metabolism and hepatocellular dysfunction. Today's lifestyle with un- hygienic and poor dietary habits and alcoholic habits, etc are responsible factors to promote hepatic damage which is clinically reflected as Kamala. This paper discusses a patient seen in the OPD of Kayachikitsa Quadra Institute of Ayurveda Roorkee Haridwar. Her chief complaints Udara shool (pain in the abdomen), Kshudha Mandhya (loss of appetite), Daurbalya (weakness), Hrullas (Nausea), Mutrapitata (yellow discolouration of urine, Vibhandha (constipation) for 15 days.
