This clinical study deals with the management of Asrugdara using Amaranthus viridis and Symplocos racemosa. Total 52 patients were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. Group A was treated with 5g of powder of A. viridis and group B, S. racemosa, twice a day for the duration of one month. Assessment criteria was based on the improvement in the score of cardinal symptoms and other common symptoms before, during and after the treatment. There was a statistically significant reduction observed in cardinal symptoms by both the drugs at the end of the treatment period. The other common symptoms were also successfully reduced.
