Ayurveda emphasizes prevention and focuses on promoting health and treating diseases. Vatarakta is a condition described in Ayurveda that can be related to gouty arthritis in modern medicine. In Ayurvedic terms, Vatarakta is primarily a disorder of Vata and Rakta, affecting the joints. Ayurvedic treatments for Vatarakta include shodhana (cleansing) and shaman (pacifying) therapies. Shodhana involves processes like oleation and mild sudation followed by specific enema treatments. Shaman treatments include various Ayurvedic medicines like Amrutadi guggulu and Manjishtha churna to alleviate symptoms. While modern medicine relies on analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and steroids for Vatarakta treatment, Ayurveda offers natural and holistic approaches with fewer side effects. The study aims to identify an effective, cost-efficient Ayurvedic remedy for Vatarakta.
