Although, the symptoms are commonly found in patients, still diagnosis of Gulma is rarely made. The disease has itself so many variations in their symptoms that they cause confusion in diagnosis. But on careful examination and proper knowledge of the disease, it is found that so many people suffer from the disease. This is the reason why our Samhitakaras have given so much attention to it.
