Abstract Background: Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a common multifactorial disorder of the ocular surface characterized by tear film instability, ocular discomfort, and visual disturbance1. In Ayurveda, its clinical features closely resemble Shushkakshipaka, a Vata-Pitta predominant Sarvagata Netra Roga. Triphala Ghrita Tarpana, a Kriyakalpa procedure, is traditionally indicated for nourishing the ocular tissues, improving lubrication, and maintaining ocular health.
Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female presented with complaints of Burning Sensation, Eye irriation with eye strain, Blurring of vision, Itiching, Photophobia in both eyes since 2 months. Clinical evaluation, including Schirmer's Test-I and Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT), confirmed Dry Eye Disease. The condition was diagnosed as Shushkakshipaka based on Ayurvedic principles.
Intervention: The patient underwent Triphala Ghrita Tarpana once daily for 15 consecutive days following classical Ayurvedic guidelines. In addition, Padabhyanga (foot massage) with Triphala Ghrita was advised every night before bedtime as an adjunctive therapy.
Results: After completion of treatment, there was marked improvement in subjective symptoms, including dryness, burning sensation, foreign body sensation, and eye fatigue. Objective assessment also showed improvement in Schirmer's Test-I and TBUT, indicating enhanced tear secretion and improved tear film stability. No adverse effects were observed during the treatment period.
Conclusion: This case suggests that Triphala Ghrita Tarpana, supplemented with nightly Padabhyanga using Triphala Ghrita, may be a safe, effective, and economical Ayurvedic approach for the management of Shushkakshipaka (Dry Eye Disease). However, larger controlled clinical studies are required to validate these findings.
