Abstract

Ascites is pathological collection of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. When the causes, pathology, clinical symptomatology & the examination are taken under consideration, we can correlate Ascites to Dakodara or Jalodara mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. The procedure of paracentesis as followed in modern science is only a modified method of Acharya Sushruta mentioned under the treatment of Dakodara. We can proudly say that Ascites can be completely managed fully, only by the principles of ayurveda. Here we report a case of ALD induced Ascites in a 32-year-old male patient, got admitted for 30 days and underwent tapping for three episodes along with meticulous use of Nitya-Virechana, Deepaneeya-Pachaneeya & Hepato-protective drugs continued for 6 months. He was successfully managed only by treatment principles of Ayurveda. Detailed case history is presented as below.
