Abstract A significant issue in emergency medical care is ankle sprains, which happen roughly once every 10,000 people every day. Ankle injuries involving the lateral ligament complex account for 25% of all sports-related injuries. Pharmacological drugs such as NSAIDs are used for reducing pain and swelling but it has man side effects, Naturopathy is a complementary system of medicine offers potential beneficial in reducing pain and swelling in ankle sprain. In this case a 21 year old female slipped while getting down from bus and her left ankle twisted. The patient presents with typical ankle sprain symptoms like pain, swelling on the lateral side of the ankle. For around one week the pain and swelling does not reduce. Thorough clinical examination and imaging studies was done, there is no sign of fracture and confirmed the ankle sprain due to accidental trauma. The patient’s medical history, personal history, co morbidities, was carefully assessed. The naturopathic treatment included cold pack, Epsom salt pack and Earthing for 10 days. The patient’s progress was monitored for the duration of 10 days using a single subject research design. The above treatments significantly reduce pain, swelling and increased joint mobility in patient with ankle sprain. This case study suggest that Epsom salt pack and Earthing shows promise as a comprehensive approach to manage ankle sprain
