Abstract :
Adhimantha is a severe ocular disorder described in classical Ayurvedic literature, often considered a complication of Abhishyanda. It presents with intense pain, redness, lacrimation, and visual disturbances. In this study the objective was to evaluate the efficacy of Ayurvedic management in a case of Adhimantha. A 42-year-old male presented with severe pain, redness, watering, and blurred vision in the right eye. The condition was clinically diagnosed as Adhimantha based on Ayurvedic principles. The patient was treated with Shamana (internal medications) including Triphala Guggulu, Saptamrita Lauha, and Mahatriphala Ghrita, along with Kriyakalpa (external therapies like Aschyotana and Tarpana). Significant improvement was observed in symptoms such as pain, redness, watering, and vision within 10 days of treatment. This study highlights that Ayurvedic management proved effective in alleviating symptoms and improving ocular health in Adhimantha.
