Abstract

Avabahuka is an Urdhwajatrugata Vata Vikara caused by Kupita Vata Dosha localised around the Ansa Pradesh (Shoulder region) causing Shoshana (wasting) of the Ansa Bandanam (Shoulder joint complex), there by leading to Akunchana of the local Sira causing Bahupraspandanhara (Hampered normal functioning of the shoulder) and Shoola (pain). Due to its clinical manifestations Avabahuka can be compared with frozen shoulder. Prevalence of frozen shoulder is 2-5% in general population and Females are more affected than male. The incidence of frozen shoulder is 2- 4 times higher in diabetes then in the general population. Due to sedentary lifestyle, food, stress more population face these problems and incidence of disease increase drastically. Hence Snehana, Swedana, Uttarbhaktika Snehapana, Nasya Karma can be used for treating such patients.
