Abstract
Allergic conjunctivitis, better known as Vataja Abhisyandha in Ayurveda, is a common ocular condition characterized by redness, itching, watering, and swelling of the eyelids. This case report evaluates the efficacy of Triphala Gritha Aschyotana (medicated ghee eye drops) in management of Vataja Abhisyandha. A 24-year-old male presented with symptoms of foreign body sensation, dryness, watering, redness, and difficulty in eye movement for five days. Clinical examination revealed conjunctival infection and mild chemosis, with an elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) confirming allergic conjunctivitis. The patient was treated with Triphala Gritha Aschyotana (10 drops bilaterally twice daily for 7 days), which demonstrated significant improvement by day 3 and complete resolution of symptoms by day 7. The AEC reduced, and visual acuity remained stable at 6/6. Triphala Gritha’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and Vata-Pitta balancing properties effectively addressed the underlying imbalances and allergic inflammation. This case highlights its potential as a safe, cost-effective, and holistic treatment for allergic conjunctivitis, warranting further large-scale studies.
