Naktandhye Kanaprayoga- A Unique Therapeutic Approach for Night Blindness

Author(s) Dr.Prakruthi G

Abstract Naktandhya, commonly referred to as night blindness, is a condition where an individual's ability to see in low-light environments is impaired. Rather than being a standalone disease, it is more accurately described as a symptomatic disturbance of vision. Ayurveda addresses this through Kriyakalpas, a group of local ocular therapeutic procedures known for their effectiveness in treating various eye ailments. One of the most intriguing and challenging aspects of ocular pharmacology is the penetration of drugs into the ocular media following topical administration.
Anjana, one of the seven Kriyakalpas, is meticulously detailed in Ayurvedic texts for its profound therapeutic utility. The prescribed dosage and drug formulation ensure high compliance and minimal waste, thereby maximizing tissue contact time and enhancing bioavailability through optimal absorption.
Acharyas have elaborately discussed the significance of Anjana Kriyakalpa in expelling accumulated doshas by traversing the channels of the head, nose and face, specifically targeting those localized in the upper body. Kanadi Anjana, as explained by various Acharyas, plays a pivotal role in treating Naktandhya. This preparation, rich in vital vitamin supplements, enhances the function of retinal rods and corrects the associated pathological changes, thus restoring vision and improving night blindness.
Keywords Kriyakalpas, Anjana, Naktandhya, Night blindness, Kanadi anjana.
