Introduction: Alcohol dependence has long been recognized as a significant public health issue, impacting individuals across physical, mental, and social aspects. Approximately 2.4% of the global population suffers from alcohol use disorder, leading to over 3 million deaths annually, and 5.3% of total fatalities. This condition can result in severe complications affecting various bodily systems, including the nervous, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. Main Clinical Findings and Diagnosis: A case study involved 49-year-old male ex-army-personnel with a 20-year history of alcohol dependency, who sought treatment at ayurveda hospital, presented with sleep initiation difficulties, alcohol cravings, and anxiety. His lab results indicated elevated direct bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, triglycerides, and VLDL cholesterol levels. Intervention: He was treated on the lines of madatyaya chikitsa sutra which includes kaphasthana shodhana by classical vamana followed by pitta and vata shamana kriya. Outcome and Conclusion: The patient exhibited notable improvements in sleep quality, reduced alcohol cravings, and diminished death anxiety, alongside better blood parameter readings.
