Abstract
CLINICAL INSIGHT INTO THE THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF TIKTAKSHEERA BASTI IN KATIGATA VATA: A CASE STUDY
Dr. Mayuri R. Avhad*, Dr. Rakesh Sharma
ABSTRACT
In recent times, human life has become very stressful due to the factors such as lack of exercise, poor posture, occupational stress and prolonged standing, etc. These conditions contributed substantially to the increase in spinal disorders and joint disorders. Ayurveda classified such types of disorders under Vataja Nanatmaja Vikara, as well as under Katigata Vata (Katigraha). These are degenerative condition characterized by structural changes to the lumbar vertebrae leading to low back pain, lumbar pain on movement, numbness, weakness and stiffness, etc. In the case of such types of Vata disorders, Basti Chikitsa is considered very useful therapeutic approach; amongst them Tikta Ksheera Basti is best suited for cases involving Katigata Vata. The purpose of this case study is to document a 35 year old female patient who was treated in the OPD with a classical presentation of Katigata Vata. The patient had previously received allopathic treatment; however, only temporary relief from pain was obtained. After the Ayurvedic treatment patient experienced considerable relief from pain, stiffness and associated symptoms.
