Abstract

Kriya kalpa as we all are aware are the Ayurvedic therapeutic procedures we do locally in urdhwajatrugata roga mainly netragatarogas. Many Kriya kalpas are described by our acharyas. Vidalaka and Akshiseka are very important in inflammatory states of eye. Vidalaka has not been described by acharya sushruta. In the present study, an 85 years old male patient with complaints of swelling of eye lids(shopha) and watering(ashrusrava) from both eyes came in OPD of Sri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College Chandigarh and was diagnosed as puyalas. The patient was reluctant to undergo any surgical intervention. So the treatment was started and within 3 days of therapy patient was relieved and showed positive results clinically.
