Ayurvedic Management Of Gridhrasi W.S.R. Sciatica-A Case Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gridhrasi is one of the most common disorders of Vata, which closely resembles with sciatica, which is characterized by pain or discomfort associated with sciatic nerve. The prevalence of sciatica varies considerably ranging from 3.8% in the working population to 7.9% in the nonworking population. Contemporary medicine has limitations giving short-term relief in pain or surgical intervention with side effect.
Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study was to access the efficacy of Ayurvedic management with shephali patra kwath in Gridhrasi. It is a single case study of a 49‑year‑old woman who was diagnosed with sciatica by an Allopathy doctor who gave her steroids but this had no positive impact on her condition. The condition worsened and she had swelling at her ankle joint. She approached Ayurvedic treatment further where she was given Shephali patra kwath. The treatment was continued for consecutive 30 days. Symptomatic assessment of patient was carried out after every 8 days and satisfactory outcome was there and overall quality of life of patient was significantly improved.
