TREATING PARINAAM SHOOL: AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON DUODENAL ULCER – A CASE REPORT

Duodenal ulcers are chronic gastrointestinal conditions characterized by mucosal erosions, most commonly linked to hyperacidity and Helicobacter pylori infection.[1] Ayurvedic parallels exist in the form of Parinaam Shool, described as recurrent post-digestive pain. This article presents the case of a 32-year-old male diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer, managed successfully through tailored Ayurvedic treatment including Snehapana (oleation with Ghrita), Shamana Chikitsa (Dhatri Loha, Shankh Bhasma, Avipattikar Churna), and strict diet modifications. Complete symptom remission within 12 weeks underscores Ayurveda’s holistic and sustainable framework for managing this condition.[2]
