A Case Study for Management of Vatarakta with Ayurveda

Vd. Reena. Shivasgar Mishra

Abstract: Vatarakta refers to the sickness induced by abnormally inflamed Vayu (Vata) and vitiated blood (Rakta). In modern medicine, it is more closely related to the term "gout". The current case study sought to identify an effective and widely recognised treatment for this awful joint illness known as "Rajadhya - the disease of kings" or "rich man's disease". In the current study, Virechana (Shodhana) with Eranda Taila, Guduchi kwath, Patoladi kwath, Amrithadi Guggulu (Shaman), and Kaishoradi guggulu are used to treat acute attacks of pain and swelling for 40 days. The results are outstanding, with fewer acute attacks, fewer symptoms, and hyperuricaemia. More clinical trials can be conducted to prove the efficacy.
