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 one among Vatajananatmaja Vikara characterized by Sthabdhata, Ruk, Toda which radiates from buttock region, lumbar region, thigh, knee, calf muscles and legs. Gridhrasi is of two types viz Vataja and Vata Kaphaja Gridhrasi. Vataja Gridhrasi is characterized by severe pain and Vata Kaphaja Gridhrasi has symptoms viz Tandra, Gaurava and Aruchi. The signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi can be correlated to sciatica of modern medicine. Sciatica is characterized by constant aching pain felt in lumbar region which may radiate to the buttock, thigh, calf and foot and pain is experienced along the sciatic nerve pathway. It is a common condition with lifetime incidence varying from 13% to 40%. Matra Basti is indicated in dis-eases caused by vitiated Vata Doshas and thus considered as one of the treatments for Gridhrasi. It was a comparative clinical study with a pre and post design in 40 patients who were diagnosed with Gridhrasi, were assigned into 2 groups of 20 patients each randomly. After examination MatraBasti had given for group A with Vyoshadi Taila and group B with Sahacharadi Taila after Sthanika Abhyanga and Nad-isweda with respective oil for 7 days. The assessment criteria were noted before and after treatment and on followup. Among the subjective and objective parameters, Group A showed better reduction 51.47% in Ruk, Sthambha, Toda, Gaurava, active and passive SLR test, Bragard’s test and Lumbar movements. Group B does not have statistically significant over Gaurava, left lateral flexion and rotation to leave. Showed reduction 40.49% in Ruk, Sthambha, Toda active and passive SLR test and lumbar movement. Hence it can be concluded that MatraBasti with Vyosadi Tailam is having more effect on symptoms of Gridhrasi and shows long lasting result.
