Specific learning disorder, as the name implies, is diagnosed when there are specific deficits in an individual's ability to perceive or process information efficiently and accurately. This neurodevelopmental disorder first manifests during the years of formal schooling and is characterized by persistent and impairing difficulties with learning foundational academic skills in reading, writing, and/or math. Objective: To evaluate the effect of Kushmanda Ghrita in reducing the clinical symptoms of specific learning disorders. Methodology: Interventional non-randomized open labelled single group study with pre-test and post-test design. A minimum of 20 children suffering from Specific Learning Disorders were selected from the OPD of Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Ayurveda Hospital, Kuthpady, Udupi after fulfilling the inclusion and diagnostic criteria. The selected children were administered with 12ml of Kushmanda Ghrita in morning hours with milk before food for a period of 3 months. Outcome was assessed before and after intervention using NIMHANS SLD battery and Jadata Rating scale. Statistical analysis was done using Wilcoxon signed rank test. Result: Kushmanda Ghrita provides statistically high significant improvement with P value <0.001 in most of the Jadata rating scale and in SLD battery which involved in the Jadata/Specific Learning Disorders of children. Conclusion: The overall inference is that Medhya property of Kushmanda Ghrita has effective role in improving the learning capability of children.
