Abstract

Parikartika is a condition of Guda in which there is cutting and burning pain. Parikartika may be corelated to fissure in ano. As per Samhithas, Parikartika is a complication of Vasti, Virechana etc. and even due to faulty instrumentation e.g., enema nozzle etc. To avoid surgery and to evolve an effective Ayurvedic treatment a comparative clinical study has been undertaken to assess efficacy of Shatadhauta Ghritavasti with Jathyadi Ghritavasti. The study was conducted in the OPD and IPD of R.A.M.C. Hospital and Research Centre. 40 patients of Parikartika were selected from the OPD and IPD of the aforesaid of Institution and randomly assigned in to two groups namely Group A and B. Subjects under Group A, 20 Patients for Shathadutha Ghritavasthi, while Group B, 20 Patients for Jathyadhi Ghritavasti. The Study showed that Group A and Group B are equally effective in treating Parikartika. Conclusion: An attempt was made to study clinically the effect of Shatadhoutha Ghrita & Jatyadi Ghrita in Parikartika. Shatadhouta Gritha Matrabasti was more effective in acute cases of Parikartika. Jatyadi Grithamatrabasti was more effective in chronic cases of Parikartika.
