Abstract

A chalazion, the most common inflammatory lesions of the eyelid. They are typically slowly enlarging, non-tender eyelid nodules, benign and self-limiting, though they can develop as a bump on eyelid. In Ayurveda it can be correlated with Utsangini, Tridoshaja Vartmagata Roga. In this study a 20 year old female patient approached to the Shalakya Tantra OPD of Rajeev Institute of Ayurvedic Medical Science and Research Centre, Hassan with a history of swelling on upper eyelid of right eye since 2 months. The growth was large in size and the inner part of eyelid is red in colour and painless. On examination the patient was diagnosed with chalazion. The patient was treated with Bhedana Karma followed Pratisarana Karma and systemically administered Shamana Chikitsa. Remarkable result was observed in all the aspects of the disease. Hence, Bhedana and Pratisarana Karma are proofed to be effective in the management of chalazion.
