The present scenario of lifestyle is prone to cause many lives deteriorating conditions. Sandhigatavata is one among the Vatavyadhi and the commonest articular disorder affecting the middle-aged, obese, and elderly population. The advancement in working pattern, lifestyle & age-factor, all together have become a prime cause for aggravation of Vata, which accelerates Dhatukshaya (depletion of tissues). Sandhigatavata can be correlated with osteoarthritis (OA) which is one such chronic, degenerative, inflammatory disease that has a great impact on the quality of the life of an individual. OA poses a huge hindrance in the day-to-day activities of the sufferer like walking, dressing, bathing etc. As per Ayurveda, it is caused due to localized accumulation of aggravated Vata in joints, which leads to Shula, Sotha, Vatapoornadritisparsha and functional disability of affected Sandhis. If not treated in time, the disease makes man disable. According to epidemiology the prevalence of osteoarthritis in India is 22-39%. Different treatment modalities like Snehana, Swedana, Lepa, Bandhana, Agni Karma and Raktamokshana are emphasized in Ayurveda to provide better relief from the pain and swelling and restore mobility; for the management of these symptoms, Swedana is the most convenient & best procedure. So, the present study was aimed to assess clinically the effect of Upanaha Swedas in the management of Janusandhigatavata. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of Vachadi Upanaha Sweda and Koladi Upanaha Sweda in the management of Janusandhigatavata. Materials and Methods: It was a randomized comparative clinical study; total 40 patients were divided into 2 groups as 20 in each. In Group A, patients were treated with only Vachadi Upanaha Sweda and other group patients were treated with Koladi Upanaha Sweda. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that both the interventions wereeffective in reducing all the signs and symptoms of Janusandhigatavata, however in parameters Shotha, tenderness and walking distance, Koladi Upanaha Sweda showed better response than Vachadi Upanaha Sweda. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of Koladi Upanaha Sweda over Vachadi Upanaha Sweda in Janusandhigatavata both clinically and statistically. Keywords: Janusandhigatavata, knee osteoarthritis, Koladi Upanaha, Vachadi Upanaha, Swedana.

Gridhrasi is a Vyadhi characterized by Stambha (stiffness), Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking pain), Spandana (twitching) etc. Though it is of two types – Vataja and Vatakaphaja, Vata being the prime cause for this condition has to be tackled to gain relief. Gridhrasi, according to its signs and symptoms can be compared to sciatica in modern medical science which is a painful condition in which pain commences from the buttock and radiates into the lower extremity along its posterior or lateral aspect, more or less comprising of the area of distribution of the sciatic nerve. Thus, this study was taken up to evaluate the efficacy of Rasona taila and Gandharvahastadi eranda taila in the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Methods: In the present study, 60 subjects diagnosed with Gridhrasi were randomly selected and assigned into two equal groups Group A and Group B comprising 30 subjects each. Subjects of Group A received Rasona taila 10ml orally in morning before food and subjects of Group B received Gandharvahastadi eranda taila 10 ml orally in morning before food, both for duration of 21 days. The data obtained in both the groups were recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: After obtaining all the necessary data, the results were formulated by applying suitable statistical tests. Group A showed better results statistically when compared to Group B.
