Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a long term complication of Diabetes mellitus. DR is covered under Prameja Timira in Ayurvedic concepts. Taking this concept into consideration an Open randomized control study was conducted with an aim to study DR and Pramehaja Timira conceptually and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the holistic Ayurvedic approach in Background Diabetic Retinopathy/BDR. Total 30 patients of BDR were divided randomly into two groups, Group A (Treatment group) and Group B (Control group), each having 15 patients (30 eyes). In Group A, classical Virechana karma was adopted followed by Takra shirodhara (21 days), Pratimarsha nasya (30 days) and Rasayana yoga (30 days) simultaneously. In Group B, all the patients were kept under observation for period of 60 days. All patients in both groups continued anti hyperglycemic treatment as prescribed by their physician as well as anti- hypertensive treatment (those suffering from it). The results were drawn after analyzing statistically by paired and unpaired t tests. In Group A, out of 30 eyes, 15 (50.00%) eyes showed mild improvement, 14 (46.67%) eyes showed moderate improvement and one eye (03.33%) was unaffected. No eye showed marked improvement or progression after treatment. In Group B, out of 30 eyes, 25(83.33%) eyes showed mild improvement, three (10%) eyes showed moderate improvement, two (6.67%) eyes showed progression of the disease. No eye got marked improvement. Holistic Ayurvedic treatment was more helpful in relieving signs and symptoms of BDR patients as well as better control of FBS, PPBS and HbA1C.
