Abstract
Kasa is one of the Pranavaha Srothodusti vikara which hinders normal life. Kaphaja Kasa is a type of Kasa with Vata and Kapha as predominant doshas and present with Prabhuta, Ghana and Bahala kapha. Kaphaja Kasa can be best compared with Chronic Bronchitis. If left untreated it leads to various conditions like Swasa, Kshaya, Chardi, Svarasaadha etc. This signifies the importance of its early management. The present study was conducted on 40 diagnosed subjects of Kaphaja Kasa who were randomly allocated into 2 groups with 20 patients each. La- vangadi gutika was taken in Group A and Pippalyadi gutika in Group B. Medicines was given for 30 days and the data was collected from the subject at baseline, 16th day, 31st day and on 46th day (follow up). The result of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the assessment parameters in both the groups from baseline. However no statistically significant difference was observed between the effect of Lavangadi guti- ka and Pippalyadi gutika in the management of Kaphaja Kasa suggesting that both interventions were having a significant effect on the condition.
