Abstract
The ankle joint is the most common site for a ligament injury in the body. Some ankle joint injuries are minor and heal with some rest from activities, but some are serious and require immediate medical attention. An ankle sprain refers to ligament injuries of the ankle. In classics, there is no direct reference regarding sprain and its manage- ment. In Susrutha Samhitha Chikitsa Sthana 3rdchapter, Bhagna Chikitsitham, Acharya Susruta has mentioned the application of Manjishtadi Lepa for traumatic joint injuries. In the present case study, a 22 years old male pa- tient visited the OPD with severe pain and swelling of the right ankle following a twisting injury of the foot. He was diagnosed with a grade 1 ankle sprain and was bandaged with Manjishtadi Lepa. Management with Man- jishtadi Lepa has shown significant relief in pain and swelling as well as in the restoration of normal movements. Keywords: Ankle sprain, Manjishtadi Lepa
