Abstract
Shalakya Tantra, one of the Asthangas of Ayurvade deals with anatomical, physiological, pathology, and therapeutic aspects pertaining to Gyanendriyas. The ears are one of the Gyanendriya and hearing is one of the important senses to gain knowledge. It enables us to take forward our existence without limitations and helps us to express, socialize and communicate with the world. The ear is not only the organ of hearing but also maintains balance. In Ayurvedic classics, Karna is the word that represents the organ ear. Karna is divided into 3 parts Bahya Karna (Outer ear), Madhya Karna (Middle ear), and Abhyanthara Karna (Inner ear). Karnapaligata Rogas are those which occur to the outer ear i.e., Bahya Karna. Acharya Susruta laid down the principles of plastic surgery centuries ago, which are relevant even in the present era of advanced plastic surgery. Karna Sandhana is one of the techniques Acharya has mentioned as a treatment modality for Karnapaligata Rogas. This article is aimed to compile various opinions on Karnapaligata Rogas by different Acharya and exhibit the nearest correlation in the contemporary view of the disease.
