Background: Karnashool (Ear pain) is one of the common ear disorders described in ayurveda, which can be correlated with Otitis Externa in modern medicine. It is characterized by pain, inflammation and discomfort in the external auditory canal. Ayurveda recommends Karnapuran (Instillation of medicated oil into the ear) as a highly effective therapy. Karnashoolhar Tail and Kshar Tail are two formulations through their Vata - kapha shamak, shothahara and vedanasthapaka properties.
