Abstract: A 44 year married male from Bagalkot presented with pain, stiffness and restricted movements of the left shoulder joint for 3 months. He was diagnosed to be affected by a frozen shoulder which is compared to Avabahuka, one of the Vata diseases mentioned in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. He was treated methodically by employing Jambeera Pinda Sweda and Mahamasha Taila Nasya Karma for 10days, followed by oral medications. The patient was discharged after 10 days and was followed for 7 days. There were no untoward reactions observed during treatment. The therapy had shown reduction in pain, stiffness and restricted movements which were measured using a goniometer. Ayurveda treatment together Nasya Karma and Sweda has provided mild to moderate improvement in all the signs and symptoms.
