Ayurvedic modalities in the management of Vata Rakta w.s.r. to Gout: A Case Study
Abstract
Aahar (good diet) and Vihar (proper lifestyle) are important factor in Ayurveda for prevention and management of diseases. Rapid modernization, changing environmental factors and lifestyle are causing adverse influence over our health. Occurrence of Vatarakta is one of the major consequences of this modification. It is a condition where both Vata and Rakta gets vitiated by their individual causes and manifests as a disease so it is called as Vatarakta, Vatasonita or Vatasrka. The sign and symptoms of Vatarakta can be clinically correlated with the disease gout in modern science. In this present case study, a 27 years old female patient visited Kayachikitsa OPD of I.P.G.A.E & R at SVSP, Kolkata, with pain in multiple joints and tingling sensation in great toe of right foot for past 3 months. She was treated with Shamana Ausadhi for a duration of 2 month. Pathya and Apathya were properly instructed. Observation and results were drawn on the basis of assessment criteria. Encouraging improvement was noted in both subjective and objective parameter.
