Abstract

Gridhrasi is a painful condition in which the person can’t sit and walk properly that hampers his normal activity. Almost all signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi resemble with the condition of sciatica described by the modern texts. Its detail symptomatology has been described in Ayurvedic classics since 5000 years, while this condition was known to modern medical science just two centuries ago. According to Ayurveda principles treatment for Vatavyadhi should be Shodhana followed by Shamana therapy. According to present era it should be less time consuming and more effective. Keeping this in mind, A clinical study in the management of Gridhrasi with Shodhana and Shamana therapy was undertaken in VYDSAMC & Hospital, Khurja,Bulandshahr, with the aim to give promising results to the patient of Gridhrasi.
