Abstract

The entity in which Dosharoopi Vata and Dhaturoopi Rakta both get vitiated and produce inflammation and pain in small joints which is called as Vatarakta. In modern science this can be correlated with Gouty arthritis a disorder in which crystals of monosodium urate, developed from hyperuricaemic body fluids gives rise to inflammatory arthritis.Due to the mithyaahara and vihara like lavana, amla, kshara, snigdha, ajeerna bhojana, excessive intake of klinna bhojana, kulattha, masha, nishpava leads to prakopa of both vata and rakta. Dooshitarakta makes avarodha of vayumarga. The same avaruddhavata again makes dooshana of rakta and gets sthanasamshraya in smaller joints and producing the laxana of vatarakta.The treatment modalities include Snehana, Mruduvirechana, Basti, Raktamokshana, Abhyanga, Seka, Lepa. Here one of the treatment modalities is Katukaihishrutajala pariseka and has the drugs Shunthi, Maricha, Pippali should be boiled in water and then this siddha jala can be used as pariseka. The mechanism mainly based on the samprapti vighatana of vayumarga aavarana and sadyorujahara and the swedana having the property of Stambhagaurava sheetaghna. Pariseka with shruta jala, the pain, inflammation and stiffness can be relieved and with the katu dravyas the Dosha klinnata can also be pacified.Pathya for Bhojanartha Puranayava, Godhooma, Shashtikashali, for Yooshartha Aadhaka, Mudga, Masoora, for Shakartha Vetagr, for Ksheerartha Gavya, Mahisha, Aja. Apathya includes Divaswapna, Sasantaapa, Vyayama, Maithuna, ushna, guru, abhishyandi etc.Hence in view to control the sadyo ruja, inflammation, stiffness and dosha klinnata the trikatu or Katukaihi shruta jala pariseka is one of the best treatment modality we can appreciate in case of vatarakta.
