Abstract

 Kumbhika is recurrent localized swelling in the eyelid. This condition can be clinically analyzed with the features of Chalazion. It refers to chronic non-infective granulomatous inflammation of Meibomian glands in the upper or lower eyelids and is one of the most common eyelid diseases affecting individuals of all age groups. Kumbhika is a Sarakta Sannipataja Lekhana Sadhya Vyadhi, mentioned by Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Vagbhata. Commentator of Astanga Sangraha, Acharya Indu, added Vidarana and Visravana as treatment modalities. Jaloukavacharana is a treatment prescribed for Rakta Visravana for Pittaja and Raktaja disorders. In this regard, this article aims to put forth a case of a 47year old male patient with signs and symptoms of Kumbhika (Recurrent Chalazion) treated by Jaloukavacharana in the
Shalakya Tantra OPD.
