Jalodara (ascites) is the most common manifestation of liver dysfunction. The most common cause of ascites is liver disease. It is the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneum. In spite of advanced medical facilities, still, there is no sure treatment which cures a patient of ascites totally. The modern treatment only provides provisional relief with time dependent recurrence but the fluid gets collected in the abdominal cavity repeatedly. In such case, Ayurvedic treatment gives relief without any side effect. Ascites can be correlated with Jalodara as per Ayurved. The proper treatment including diet restriction, medicinal treatment and surgical procedure are mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. A 38 year old female patient came to our hospital with abdominal distension, swelling all over the body, anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain and shortness of breath, etc. She was given Nitya Virechana (daily therapeutic purgation) with Triphala Kwatha and Erand Taila, Medicines like Arogyavardhini Vati, Punarnava Mandoor Vati, Bhumyamalaki Swarasa and Pippali Ksheerapaka for about 1 month and restricted diet plan (only milk) for 2 months. Just after 2 months, a significant improvement was noted in all the symptoms of the patient. USG findings also showed improvement in comparison with previous report. Hence it was concluded that Ayurvedic management gives relief in chronic liver disease induced ascites.
