Abstract

Introduction: Chalazia (plural of chalazion), are the most common inflammatory lesions of the eyelid. They are typically slowly enlarging; non-tender eyelid nodules present in the sub tarsal conjunctiva of the eye lids. Chalazia are typically benign and self-limiting, caused by inflammation and obstruction of sebaceous glands of the eyelids, also called as meibomian cyst.

The treatment for Utsangini described by the Acharya is Chedana, Bhedana, Lekhana and Shodhana. Raktamokshana with Jalouka is one of the types of Shodhana described by Acharya’s has been inculcated in this study.


Case Report: A 60 year female presented with the complaints of itching, swelling in the right upper eyelid along with redness since 1 month, was treated with Jaloukavacharana. Marked improvement with reduced itching, redness and decreased swelling was noted.
