Amavata is a Vata and Kapha Pradhana Vyadhi caused due to Viruddha Ahara and Vihara resulting in Mandagni, leading to the formation of Ama. Ama with the influence of Vata Dosha circulates all over the body and gets lodged in Shleshma Sthana in Sandhi Pradesha, resulting in the manifestation of Amavata. Snehapana is a mandatory Poorvakarma before Shodhana. Snehapana does the Uthklesha of Doshas before Shodhana, without which proper achievement of Shuddhi is not possible. Snehapana and Virechana are the main lines of treatment for Amavata. To evaluate the better result, here for Snehapana Kanjakadi Ghrita & Amruthadi Ghrita were taken before Virechana which is then compared and analysed statistically. A minimum of 40 patients, fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria of Amavata according to Ayurveda classics and based on criteria fixed by the American Rheumatology Association (ARA) in 1988 criteria will be selected and randomly assigned into 2 groups, i.e. Group A and Group B consisting minimum of 20 patients in each group.

Dushta Vrana is a common and frequently encountered problem faced in surgical practice. The presence of Dushta Vrana worsens the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal. Local factors on wound like slough, infection and foreign body, affect the normal process of healing. A healthy wound in a normal body heals earlier with a minimum scar as compared to a contaminated wound. Therefore in this study all the efforts are made to make a Dushta Vrana into a Shuddha Vrana. Once the Vrana becomes Shuddha, Ropana of the Vrana will start. The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jatyadi Taila and Jatyadi Ghrita in Dushta Vrana. Clinically diagnosed 60 Patients of Dushta Vrana were randomly divided into two groups, each consisting of 30 Patients. Group A were treated with the Jatyadi Taila and Group B was treated by Jatyadi Ghrita. The results observed was based on the relief obtained on the subjective and objective parameters taken for consideration for this study viz, size of ulcer, discharge, smell, pain, burning sensation, itching and granulation were found significant (P Lass Than 0.05). On the basis of assessment criteria and overall result of treatment, the patients of Jatyadi Taila group showed better results when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita group. Even though statistically there is no much significant difference between the two groups, but by seeing the effect on individual parameters (subjective and objective) and over all response, Jatyadi Taila seems to be effective when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita. It is having more Ropana qualities when compared to Shodhana.
