In Ayurvedic science, based on clinical signs and symptoms, stye can be correlated to <em>Anjananamika </em>where the symptoms include <em>Dahatodavatitamrapidaka</em>– i.e., boil which will be in <em>Tamravarna</em> associated with burning sensation and pricking sensation at <em>Vartmapradesha </em>i.e., in the lid and the other symptoms includes <em>Mridvimandaruja</em>– it will be soft and associated with mild pain. The line of treatment of the disease <em>Anjananamika </em>(stye) includes <em>Swedana </em>(hot compress), <em>Nishpidana </em>(pressure applying to drain out pus), <em>Bhedana </em>(incision), <em>Pratisarana </em>(rubbing of medicaments over the lids), <em>Anjana </em>(collyrium). The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of <em>Bidalaka</em> and <em>Aschyotana</em> along with internal medicines. A 19-year female patient approached the <em>Shalakya tantra</em> OPD of Sri Paripoorna Sanathana Ayurveda Medical College, Hospital and Research centre, Nelamangala, Bangalore with the complaints of swelling in the left eye lid since 3 days with mild pain and redness of the eyes. On examination, the whole edge of the left eye lid was oedematous along with the presence of an abscess in outer canthus. On these signs and symptoms, the patient was diagnosed as a case of stye and advised <em>Kriyakalpa</em> based on the <em>Roga</em> and <em>Rogibala</em> along with internal medicines which have given promising results with the complete absence of the symptoms within 10 days.</p> ER -
