ABSTRACT
The traditional Ayurvedic approach to managing Krimigranthi, commonly known as Blepharitis, involves utilizing Haridra Kwath Parisheka, A herbal remedy derived from Curcuma longa, or turmeric. Blepharitis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the eyelid margins, causing discomfort and aesthetic concerns. Haridra, renowned for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties, is prepared into a decoction called Haridra Kwath. This therapeutic application aims to alleviate the symptoms of Blepharitis and address its underlying causes. Ancient Ayurvedic texts such as Sushruta, Vaghbhata, Yogratnakar, and Madhavnidan describe clinical features resembling those of Blepharitis, including Shyavavartma, klinnavartma, and Krimigrahthi. Despite numerous attempts to treat this condition with various drugs, its recurrence remains a major concern. Clinical studies have investigated the efficacy of Haridra Kwath Parisheka in managing Blepharitis, highlighting its potential to relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling. Additionally, Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach tailored to an individual's constitution (Prakriti) and addresses potential root causes of Blepharitis.
