Abstract
Vasti has been told as Ardhachikitsa and is applicable in all the Vatavyadhi. As a general rule, when Rogas are caused by Vata Dosha alone, without the association of Ama, then Sneha Vasti should be given. Matra Vasti is one among the Bheda of Sneha Vasti, it can be given to any person irrespective of age and Ritu, without any strict regimen of Ahara and Vihara. SandhiVata is a Vatika disorders and Dhatukshaya is its prime factor. Vata Dosha is the regulator of other two Dosha, Dhatu and Mala and also all the body activities. Therefore, once Vata is con- trolled by Vasti, all these factors are automatically regulated, and total body equilibrium is achieved. Sandhigata Vata is characterized by symptoms like joint stiffness, joint pain, swelling and difficulty in joint movements, etc. Snehana is mentioned as one of the main treatments of Sandhigata Vata. According to therapeutic administration, Sneha Paka is mainly 3. Acharya Charaka and Vagbhata explained Sneha in Madhyama Paka for Vasti Karma, whereas Acharya Susruta opines Sneha in Khara Paka for VastiKarma. Here in this study, MatraVasti with KsheeraBala Taila prepared in two different Paka is selected. A group of 40 patients with signs and symptoms of Janu Sandhigata Vata, fulfilling the inclusion criteria and were randomly divided into two groups with number of twenty. MatraVasti with Ksheerabala Taila prepared in Khara Paka was given to Group A and Madhyama Paka was given to Group B for consecutive 9 days. Patients were evaluated thoroughly prior to the treatment, on 9th day of treatment and on 18th day of follow up period on the basis of subjective and objective parameters.
