ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is a traditional science of life that emphasizes individualized care and a holistic approach to health. Lifestyle diseases are conditions that are mostly caused by sedentary lifestyle of the individual. Changes in Aahara like (Fast food, Junk food, a high-protein diet), Vihara like (insufficient physical activity, incorrect driving techniques, etc.) and Mansika Bhava like (Stress, Krodha etc.) are contributing factors to an increased number of incidences of Vatarakta. Thus, an emphasis on Vatarakta Hetu (causative factors) is must to limit the prevalence and to overcome the disease. So, for this research work we selected Patoladi Kwath from Chakradatta Vatarakta Chikitsa Prakarnam Shloka No. 11 to evaluate their virtue in the management of Vatarakta (w.s.r. to Gouty Arthritis). For this research work 20 diagnosed patient of Vatarakta having age of 20 to 60 years were registered and sequentially randomized in single group. Leaving 6 dropout 17 patients were treated with 50 ml Patoladi kwath 2 times a day after meal for 45 days. The result of the treatment was accessed based on the improvement in terms of symptomatic relief and improvement in terms of Lab investigation i.e, decrease in Serum Uric Acid level.
