title: Probable mode of action of sankhapuspi in the management of thyrotoxicosis.
abstract: Considering the therapeutic aspects of thyrotoxicosis, 980 cases were studied, where probable role of stress in the etiopathogenesis has been explored. These cases were then treated with standard modern therapy containing antithyroid drug with a tranquilizer and some of the patients were treated only by an Ayurvedic drug. i. e. Sankhapuspi. In early cases Sankhapuspi was found more effective than standard modern treatment. In addition, no side effect was noted in these patients treated with Sankhapuspi.
