Abstract: An unnatural buildup of fluid in peritoneal cavity is known as Ascites. There are many etiological reasons, but Liver Cirrhosis is most frequent one. It can be correlated with Jalodar, which is one of the important types of Udarroga (Disease of abdomen) and it has been described in Charak, Sushruta, Ashtanghridaya. This case of Ascites includes Udaravriddhi (Abdominal distension), Ubhaypada Shotham (Bipedal edema), Nakha, Netra, Twak Peet Varniya (mild icterus), Anorexia (Aruchi) and generalized weakness (Daurbalya). The patient had a history of chronic alcoholism but neither diabetes nor hypertension. He was treated in accordance with the Charak Samhita description of Jalodar’s treatment principles, which include such as Nityavirechan (daily purgation) by using Ayurvedic medications, Strotoshodhan (microchannels cleaning) and few Ayurvedic hepatoprotective drugs. All of the patient’s above-mentioned complaints, were completely resolved. USG (abdomen) repeated after 1 month showed no ascites and there was significant improvement in values of LFT and KFT. The favorable outcomes of this study encourage researchers to carry out more studies to establish an Ayurvedic Jalodar (ascites) treatment plan.
