Brief Summary  
In modern science practices there is symptomatic treatment for 
karnasrava (diffuse otitis externa) includes ear toileting followed by 
medicated wicks, antibiotics and analgesics.
Where as in Ayurveda there are many formulations like 
Karnapoorana, Karnadhoopan, Karnaprakshalan internal 
medications has been explained.
Various drugs for karnasrava have been explored scientifically, 
Panchvalkal taila karnapoorana was not studied yet. Hence hoping 
this study contributes further to public health. I have decided to use 
Panchvalkal taila karnapoorana in management of karnasrava 
referred from Vangsen Samhita.
