Abstract

Introduction: In Ayurveda, the concept of Vata plays a pivotal role in the manifestation of diseases. Asthi-Majjagata Vata, involving vitiation of Vata in the Asthi and Majja Dhatus, leads to conditions like joint pain, stiffness, and degeneration. Objective: To explore the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatments in managing Asthi-Majjagata Vata, focusing on internal and external therapies for alleviating symptoms of Athi majjagata vata. Material and Methods: A 30-year-old male patient with k/c/o bilateral hip AVN presented with progressive pain and restricted movement. Treatment included Abhyanga with Murivenna taila, Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda, Vaitarana Basti and Marmani Vati, alongside oral medications such as Navajeevana Rasa and Balamoola Rasayana. Discussion: The treatments targeted Vata pacification and tissue nourishment, promoting joint health and alleviating pain. Abhyanga and Swedana provided relief through their anti-inflammatory and nourishing effects, while Vasti and Marmani Vati supported bone regeneration and pain reduction. Conclusion: Ayurvedic therapies offer a comprehensive approach for managing Asthi-Majjagata Vata, effectively reducing symptoms and improving quality of life in patients.
