The Avaghasweda with Panchavalkala Kwath played important role in maintaining local hygiene, Shodhana (cleaning) as well as Ropana (healing) of ulcer. Matrabasti with Jatyadi Taila – It is good Shodhana and Ropana drug, it acts as a soothing agent for smooth evacuation of feaces and protects fissure bed. Pichu with Jatyadi Taila - as we know most of the ingredients used in Jatyadi Taila are Shothahara , Vedanasthapana and Ropana , which are helpful of healing a wound. Ingredients like Neema and Daruharidra are antibacterial and promote wound healing. Jaloukavacharana - As patient was continued to experience pain and tenderness around anal verge, for which inflamed tag could be the reason. Application of Jalauka result in reduction in symptoms by antiinflammatory substances present in its saliva. It goes to deeper level and acts as Thrombolytic, Vasodilation etc. So, there was significant reduction in size of swelling. Jalauka should be applied in the disease where there is Avagadha Dosha Dusti . Due to fissure, the hypertonic sphincter was relaxed by above procedure. After assessing the healing ratio of ulcer dilator was introduced for further enhancing the lumen diameter. CONCLUSION In this patient lateral fissure-in-Ano occurred due to constipation, which was caused by Vitiated Apana Vata . Here, disease is caused due to Vata and Pitta dosa. Avagaha Sweda with Panchavalkala Kwath, Matra basti – Jatyadi Taila (30 ml), Pichu with Jatyadi Taila etc all together will act on Vataanulomana, Pitta Samana, Vrana- Shodhana and Ropana etc. This shows that if plan of treatment is selected according to principle of Ayurveda along with proper drug, doses
