Abstract
Acharya Sushruta has explained 21 vartmaroga (eyelid disorders) in Sushruta Samhita. Blepharitis is an eyelid disorder defined as inflammation of lid margins and is common worldwide. It accounts for 45% of all ophthalmic diseases. Blepharitis has two major types anterior and posterior Blepharitis. Seborrheic Blepharitis is a subtype of anterior Blepharitis. In modern sciences, various antibiotic and steroidal ointments are provided as treatment for Blepharitis, which has its limitations and side effects. Bidalaka is a kriyakalpa (Ayurvedic therapy) advised for treating eyelid disorders due to its direct action and longer contact time with targeted tissues. Punarnava is preferred as a drug of choice for bidalaka in treating inflammation, itching, scaling and redness in Blepharitis with its anti-inflammatory, anti-edematic, anti-tumour, anti-allergic, and anti-bacterial properties. A 27-year-old female patient was diagnosed with Seborrheic blepharitis and is treated with Punarnava bidalaka, where the results prove to be significantly influential based on its clinical assessment.
