ABSTRACT
With an evolutionary history that spans several thousands of years, Ayurveda is one of the oldest and meticulously codified systems of healthcare in the world.[1] The vitiated doshas circulating in the body, with predominance of vitiated Vata & Kapha migrate to Mukha Pradesha, thus causes the Mukha rogas. When they get located (Sthana sanshraya) in the kantha Pradesha, Swarabheda occurs. Swarabheda can be correlated with Hoarseness of Voice as both of them have similar features. This study included detailed study of the disease, its nature and the evaluation of the effects of the two formulations- Vasadi Kwatha mentioned by Acharya Sharangdhara and Eladi Gutika of Acharya Charaka.18 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in this trial into one single group and were given Vasadi Kwatha (40ml in two divided doses) and Eladi Gutika (12gm in divided doses in the form of chewable pills) for two weeks. The effect of therapy was assessed by grading and scoring system based on signs and symptoms. Out of 18 patients, 12 patients were completely cured, 4 patients were markedly improved and 2 patients were moderately improved.
