Shikha*, Renu Rao, Gunjan Sharma and Mohan Kumar
ABSTRACT
In Ayurveda, we are applying ophthalmic therapeutics either in the form of local therapy i.e. Kriyakalp or in the form of systemic use i.e. oral Chakshushya Dravyas. We can select various drugs according to the stage and types of the disease and also can use various Kriyakalp procedures according to need. Acharya Susruta explains 5 varieties, but we get 7 types of Netra Kriya Kalpas in Sarngadhara Samhita, which include Seka, Aschyotan, Pindi, Vidalaka, Tarpana, Putapaka and Anjana .In Susruta samhita there is no indication of Pindi and Vidalaka. Vidalaka Karma is not only a Kriya Kalpa curing disease it is also a way of life that teaches us how to maintain and protect our eyes. In present review article indications, probable mode of action and importance of Vidalaka Karma will be discussed.
