Conjunctivitis refers to any inflammatory condition of the membrane that lines the eye lids and covers the exposed surface of the sclera. It is the most common part of the red eye. Abhishyanda is classified as the eye disease affecting all parts of the eye. The disease kaphaj abhishyanda is Sarvagat Netra Rog expain by Sushruta Samhita In developing countries, bacterial conjunctivitis is commonest type of conjunctivitis.it can occur as sporadic and epidemics cases during monsoon season. Prevalence for chronic bacterial conjunctivitis is 25% of the general population. There are so many treatment of kaphaj abhishyanda in Ayurveda like Anjana, Snehana, Swedana, Tarpana, Putpak, Aschyotan, Nasya, Parishek, etc. but Ascyotana kalpana is very effective, safe, easily available, so I have selected shigru madhu ascyotana.
