Abstract

Sandhigata Vata is described under Vatavyadhi in all Samhitas and Sangraha Granthas. In Jaraavastha, Deha Dhatus undergo Kshaya, leading to Vata Prakopa and making individual prone to many degenerative diseases. Sandhigata Vata is one among them, which obviously corelated with osteoarthritis due to its maximum symptomatic similarities. It is a degenerative and chronic articular disorder affecting mainly the weight bearing joints in advancing age. Being a degenerative joint disorder, the concept of Ayurvedic treatment mainly focus on Snehana, Swedana and use of Rasayana drugs to maintain the joint mobility. A pilot study was conducted on 10 patients to evaluate the effectiveness of Janu Basti with Go-Ghrita and Ashwagandha Churna as Shaman drug in Sandhivata. The study duration was 21 days. After the treatment, patient experienced significant relief and observed visible reduction in predominant symptoms.
