Efficacy of an ayurvedic preparation 'Charmil' was evaluated in the control of naturally occurring sarcoptic mange in camels. Complete cure with elimination of mites was effected by 11 topical applications of the gel, on alternate days till 12 days and subsequent applications 3 days apart till 24 days. Itching, scratching, biting and rubbing of the body ceases on day 21st day of the treatment. The skin regained almost normal appearance 28 days after the first application.
