Abstract

Avabahuk is a disease of Ansa Pradesh explained under Vata Vyadhi in Samhitas. It affects Sira of Ansa Pradesh and causes symptoms like Stambhata (stiffness), Alpakriyata (restricted movements), Shotha (inflammation), and Shoola (pain) in the shoulder region. In today’s world where a person became habitual to a sedentary lifestyle. It leads to Kupita Vata Dosha or a Kupita Vata Kapha Dosha which causes Avabahuk. It is correlated with Adhesive capsulitis commonly known as frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is a clinical syndrome with painful restrictions of both passive and active shoulder movements. For the present case study, a patient with the above complaints is diagnosed with Avabahuk and managed with Jambir Pinda Sweda along with Nasya. Nasya Karma is one of the primary treatments of Avabahuk. It is especially indicated for diseases of the part in and above the shoulder. Consequently, Jambir Pinda Sweda is predominantly used in the Vata-Kaphaj condition. The constituent of Jambir Pinda Sweda has properties like Ruksha, Tikshna, and Shothahara. Thus, the aim of case study is to study the effect of multimodality treatment like Jambir Pinda Sweda and Nasya with Karpasasthyadi Taila in Avabahuk.
