description An umbilical granuloma is a most common umbilical abnormality in neonates which occurs due to overgrowth of umbilical tissue during the healing process. In Ayurveda, umbilical granuloma can be correlated with conditions like Pindalika(one of the complication of improper cutting of umbilical cord) or NabhigataArsha(extra growth on umbilicus). Aneight-years-old male child presented with a complaint of reddish swelling on umbilicus with discharge and occasional bleeding from umbilicus sincebirth. On examination a single swelling on umbilicus measuring 1 × 0.8 × 0.5 cm, cherry red in color with serous discharge was present. It was soft, non-tender and moist. Surrounding skin was occupied with unhealthy accumulation of chronic discharges.Under aseptic precautions, Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara (alkaline preparation having Achyranthes aspera plant) was applied on the umbilical granuloma. This treatment procedure was repeated for next two days. At seventh day from the first day of the Kshar application, it was completely healed. Umbilical granuloma was successfully treated with Kshara Karma.
