Discussion of Conclusion:
the observaBy considering
tions and results, it may be concluded
that the colution prepares with Karpura
(Chinnamomum
camphora (L.) and
Kshira (Cow Milk) may be successfully
employed in the management of acute
and chronic conjunctivitis
of varied
aetiology. The response obtained may
be explained with chakushaya, Netrya
(conducive to vision and eye) properties
(SrikanthN.2000) and antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gramnegaUve bacteria (may be effective in
preventing secondary infection) (Naqvi
Results:
