Abstract

The current lifestyle is the basis for a plethora of diseases. Some are due to the Ahara and some due to Vihara. Gridhrasi is one of the condition mainly lead down by Viharaja. Among the 80 Vataja Nanatmja Vyadhi, Gridhrasi is one of the most common condition. It is a Ruja Pradhana Vatavyadhi i.e., pain is the chief cause for visiting a doctor in most of patient histories, hence it is necessary to adopt fast management for the same. Gridhrasi starts from Sphik Pradesha and gradually comes down to Kati, Prista, Uru, Janu, Janga and Pada. Kevala Vataja and Vata Kaphaja are the two clinical variations in the presentation of Gridhrasi. Snigdha Sweda, Virechana, Basti, Agnikarma and Siravyadha are the Chikitsa mentioned in the classical literature. In the present study, Snigdha Agnikarma followed by Erandamoola Niruha Basti has been adopted. Significant changes (p<0.01) were noticed in the parameters of the study.
