According to <em>Acharya Sushrut, Granthi</em> is classified into <em>Vataja Granthi, Pittaja</em> <em>Granthi, Kaphaja Granthi, Medoja Granthi</em> and <em>Siraj Granthi</em>. Considering the signs, symptoms and its resemblance with Thyroglossal Cyst in various manners this review article is being done to study the <em>Vataja Granthi</em> and its correlation with Thyroglossal Cyst. The patient complained of pain in the neck region with swelling which would increase in size causing pricking type of pain. The classical interpretation of Thyroglossal Cyst into <em>Vataja Granthi</em> by observing pathogenesis the line of treatment was chosen accordingly<em>. Dashanga Lepa, Triphala Guggulu</em> and <em>Sukshma Triphala </em>were used<em>. Acharya Charak</em> in <em>Shotha Chikitsa</em> mentioned that <em>Granthi </em>should be removed along with the capsule which indicated the capsulated sac<em> Granthi. </em>The treatment of <em>Granthi </em>is also vividly mentioned by <em>Acharya Sushruta</em> where in it should be treated as <em>Shopha </em>at initial stages and later on some local application of <em>Lepa</em> like <em>Dashanga</em> <em>Lepa</em> can be given in <em>Vataja Granthi</em>. During the course of treatment <em>Granthi </em>attained <em>Pakwa avastha</em> on application of <em>Dashang Lepa</em>- it drained on its own, patient got relief from pain, fresh blood, capsule was removed and dry sterile gauze bandaging was done in that region. <em>Sukshma Triphala</em> contains <em>Kajjali </em>which acts as <em>Srotagami </em>by entering <em>Srotas</em>. <em>Triphala Guggulu</em> acts as <em>Shothara, Vranaropan</em> and promotes wound healing.</p>}, number={Suppl1}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Sumita Sunil Desai and Anura Prashant Bale}, year={2022}, month={Sep.}, pages={118-122} }
