Abstract

Vaidya Manorama is a myth Kerala Ayurveda literature that encompasses time- tested low- budget phrasings that can be prepared from fluently available coffers. Ayurveda Ophthalmology has been described in Chapter twenty- eight of the literature. numerous unique phrasings like eating firefly (Khadyota), preparing ghee from fresh-water shellfish (tadaka-shuktika), Kadali phala (a special type of banana) bidalaka, dropping of juice of palasha (Butea monosperma) into eyes for colorful clinical conditions are described. We review the unique ophthalmology phrasings in this chapter to bring them to spotlight. Many herbo-mineral phrasings are also described for which toxin and safety studies are warranted. All these handy phrasings may help clinicians in day- to- day practice or may be a lead for new exploration.
