The accumulation of fluid in the peritoneum is called ascites. It is the most prevalent sign of liver damage. In contemporary medicine, there is currently no proven cure for ascites patients. It only relieves symptoms, and recurrence occurs over time. Such cases benefit from the side-effect-free results of ayurvedic treatment. Eight categories of Udara roga are stated in Ayurveda, and this case is correlated with Jalodara. A 44-year-old male patient came to Rognidan OPD in Government Ayurveda College, Nagpur, India, with symptoms including abdominal distension, anorexia, bipedal edema, icterus, dyspnea on exertion, interrupted sleep, and overall weakness. In addition to being a persistent alcoholic, the patient had no prior history of diabetes or hypertension. He was treated in accordance with the Jalodara therapeutic principles as stated in the Charaka Samhita, which included nitya virechana (daily purgation) using Ayurvedic medicines, strotoshodhana (microchannel cleaning), and a few hepatoprotectives. After receiving therapy for one month, the patient__ampersandsign#39;s symptoms showed significant improvement; hence, it was concluded that Ayurvedic treatments benefit Jalodara.
