DISCUSSION-Tonsils are known as “guards or oral cavity”,is a part of
immune system of the body.they fight from infections & illness.inflammation
of tonsils called tonsillitis.due to micro organism,s infection,due to exposure
to environmental factors,change of climate causes infections.mostly school
going childrens are effected due to low immunity.tonsilitis can be correlated
with gilayu as described by sushrut.
According to Ayurveda,Gilayu is kaphaj and raktaj dominant entity.sushrut
advised surgical treatment for Gilayu wherever Vagbhata & Chakradatta
advised katu,tikta,ushna dravyas(medical management).in modern
science,conservative treatment like antibiotics,analgesics,anti-inflammatory
drugs are available,but they all having limitations and side effects i.e.allergic
reactions,contra-indication in children,pregnant and lactacting women.long
term use may cause harmful results and its also vey costly,cant be afforded
by low socio-economic people.so,due to this,it is neccessory to use such kind
of treatment which has less side effect and also cost effective.
In gilayu,we need kaphagn and raktshodhak chikitsa.trushan churns has
katu rasa,ushna veerya.tikshna,ruksha,sookshma guna.hence,works as
kaphashamak &raktshodhak.honey was used as anupan as it is yogvahi.
Gandhak rasayan has already proved its anti microbial and antiinflammatory
result hence it is ed in control group.
By statistical analysis,it was found that in all parameters paired t test is
significant in both group but when we compare both groups by applying
unpaired t test,the

CONCLUSION-After statistical analysis,it is conducted that oral trushan
churna is effective than control group in Gilayu.
It is safe,cost effective,easily available.
It decreases the severity of throat infection.
Further research with new ideas can be done-
By increasing the samole siz.
By making in ointment form which can be applied locally.
