Abstract

Osteoarthrosis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive breakdown of articular cartilage and changes in subchondral bone, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint function. Its management involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life.[1] Sandhivata is a term used in Ayurveda to describe a condition resembling osteoarthritis, characterized by joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. It is considered to be caused by an imbalance in the body's Doshas (humors), particularly Vata Dosha, leading to degeneration of the joints and surrounding tissues.[2] Routine full-body massage (Abhyanga) using warm, therapeutic oils aids in nourishing the tissues, improving circulation, and balancing Vata Dosha. Basti is a vital therapy for managing Vata-related conditions.
