Abstract Ayurveda, an ancient repository of traditional medical wisdom, is emerging as a promising and innovative therapeutic approach in contemporary healthcare, seamlessly integrating its time-honored principles with modern medical advancements. Trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic pain disorder characterized by severe, unilateral, paroxysmal facial pain episodes. Anantavata, a vata-predominant sannipataja vyadhi categorized under shirorogas according to Ayurvedic texts, is a condition exhibiting similarities to trigeminal neuralgia. However, direct comparisons between the two conditions would be inequitable to both medical traditions. A 59-year-old male patient with a known history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to our Shalakya Tantra outpatient department, reporting a three-year history of sharp, shooting, electric-like pain on the left side of the face. Additionally, the patient has experienced painful mouth opening and discomfort while chewing for the past six months. The patient, having sought and found no relief from previous treatments, subsequently approached our Hospital. The treatment regimen administered included Nasya with Balaguduchyadi Taila ,Lepa using a mixture of Rasna, Manjishta, and Rakthachandana , Shiroabhyanga with Balaguduchyadi Taila ,Shiro and Mukha Pichu with Balaguduchyadi Taila ,Viddha Karma and Rakthamokshana performed on the Shanka Pradesha .Additionally, the patient was prescribed an oral regimen consisting of Kokilaksha Kashaya,Ksheerabala Capsules,Brihat Vata Chintamani Rasa and Kaishora Guggulu. The patient experienced substantial relief from his symptoms, underscoring the undeniable potency and efficacy of the treatment. The remarkable improvement speaks volumes about the profound impact of Ayurveda, demonstrating its power and effectiveness beyond the need for additional proof. The results themselves eloquently validate the wisdom and capability inherent in Ayurvedic practices.
