Basti is considered the best modality of treatment in managing the disorders of Vata Dosha. As Sandhigatavata is also one among Vatavyadhi, Basti is the effective line of treatment, which is characterized by swelling, pain during flexion and extension of joints. Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint condition with a prevalence of about 22% to 39% in India. There is a steady rise in prevalence from age 30 such that by age 65, 80% of people will have radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis. It is caused by the degradation of the joints, the articular cartilages and subchondral bone. It is characterized by pain, stiffness and loss of flexibility of joints.1 By foregoing, Sandhi- gatavata can be readily correlated to Osteoarthritis. In contemporary medical science, they use NSAIDs for control of the symptoms. Acharya Sushrutha and Acharya Charaka have mentioned Snehana (Oleation) as a line of treat- ment in Sandhigatavata. So here an attempt is made through Janubasthi and Matrabasthi using Saireyaka Taila2 mentioned in Gada Nigraha under Vata Vyadhi for treating Janusandhigatavata in specific. Method: This study is an open-label, observational and clinical study containing 30 patients, who were posted for Janu Basti and Matra Basti with Saireyaka Taila for 9 days. The assessment was carried out before treatment, during treatment (5th day), after treatment (on 10th day) and after following up (28th day) and the gradings were noted. Results: Out of 30 patients in this study, 5 patients (17%) were getting Moderate Improvement and 25 patients (83%) were gettingGood Improvement. The overall effect of the treatment is 69.44%. Conclusion: It is concluded that the combined effect of Janubasti and Matrabasti with Saireyaka Taila is clinically and statistically significant in almost all the parameters. Keywords: Janu Basti, Matra Basti, Sandhivata, Osteoarthritis, Saireyaka Taila.
