Attainment of equilibrium is achieved by Samanya and Vishesa siddhanta. Vishesha has great role in Ayurveda like Samanya for being the Chikitsa Siddhanta. Sandhigatavata is a one among the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhis, with clinical symptoms like Sandhishula, Shotha, Prasaranaakunchana Vedana etc. According to WHO, Osteoarthritis is most common musculoskeletal problem in world (30%). Most pharmacological approaches for pain management are considered temporarily effective and not very safe. In Vatavyadhi - Snehana, Swedana and Basti karma are considered as the prime line of treatment. Bahya Snehana and Swedana effects will be achieved in Janubasti.
