Abstract

In the modern era, gridhrasi is a problem that is commonly encountered and is often caused by a change in lifestyle. Severe pain radiating from the back to one or both lower limbs is the hallmark of sciatica. It is widely accepted worldwide. Another pain-dominant lifestyle disorder is sciatica, or gridhrasi, in which the pain radiates from the back, or Sphik Pradesh, to the foot. Sciatica and Gridhrasi in Ayurveda can be compared based on the symptoms. Gridhrasi is regarded as a maharoga by acharya Charaka and is a part of Vataja Nanatmaja vyadhi. In all Ayurveda classics, the description of the diseases is available. But Sushruta, the father of surgery has described all the details about the disease.

Keywords: Gridhrasi, sciatica, ayurveda.
