ABSTRACT
Puyalasa, one among the Sandhigataroga can be correlates to dacryocystitis based on the
symptomatology which includes swelling in inner canthus, which later undergoes suppuration
causing thick purulent discharge. Dacryocystitis (Puyalas) is the inflammation of the lacrimal
sac. Management of acute dacryocystitis differs based on the stage. In the present case report,
a 50-year-old male patient suffered from this disease. He presented with the chief complaints
of watering from Right eye for 6 and half months and mild swelling and pain over the
lacrimal sac area in Right eye for 7 days. He was treated with Raktamokshana with
jalokaavcharana, Triphala Guggulu and Triphaladi Netra Parisheka, along with Vimlapana
in lacrimal sac area for 1 month. After 1 month of treatment, the patient got relief from all the
complaints. In lacrimal syringing, there was mild obstruction or regurgitation found. On
analysis of all the data, it can be concluded that Ayurvedic management with Raktamokshana
with jalokaavcharana, Triphaladi Netra Parisheka and Triphala Guggulu along with
Vimlapana in the lacrimal sac area offers effective result in the treatment of Puyalasa.
