Summary:Ayurvedic therapy has been shown to be effective in treating various liver disorders. Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare but serious disorder characterized by obstruction of the hepatic venous outflow. The prognosis of patients is usually poor. We hereby present the case of a 42-year-old, obese female patient with BCS who was treated exclusively with herbo-mineral Ayurvedic medicines. This patient had inferior vena cava, portal vein, and hepatic vein thromboses with moderate liver fibrosis. The main line of treatment was the use of herbo-mineral compounds to remove the blood clots present in the above-mentioned veins. Ayurvedic treatment resulted in the restoration of health with normalization of liver function and regression of thromboses. This case study provides primary evidence of the probable potential of Ayurveda in improving therapeutic outcomes inpatients with BCS.
