Pedal edema is a common clinical feature often associated with cardiovascular, renal, and hepatic disorders. In hypertension, chronic fluid retention and vascular changes may lead to bilateral pedal edema. In Ayurveda, such a condition can be correlated with Sarvanga/Ekanga Shotha depending on its presentation. To evaluate the efficacy of Ayurvedic management in bilateral pedal edema in a hypertensive patient. A known case of hypertension with bilateral pedal edema was treated with Ayurvedic Shamana Chikitsa (oral medications) along with Pathya-Apathya regimen for 30 days. Pre- and post-clinical findings were documented. Significant reduction in pedal edema, heaviness, and improvement in ambulation were noted. Ayurvedic management provided effective relief in bilateral pedal edema, suggesting its role as a supportive therapy in chronic hypertension.
