Abstract

Convenience and busy schedules have become typically major issues in today’s society, with unhealthy food habits and sedentary lifestyle, leading to increase in various types of health issues day by day. Vatarakta is a disease explained in Ayurveda, in which derangement of metabolism occurs due to indulgence in unwholesome dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle. It occurs when both Vata and Rakta are vitiated by distinct etiological factors.[1] Initially vitiated Vata obstructs the path of vitiated Rakta and then gets obstructed by Rakta itself. It can be correlated with Gout due to similarity in the clinical presentation. Various Ayurvedic drugs and Panchakarma procedures have been proved useful for this disease.

Marked improvement in signs and symptoms in Patient’s condition were seen.
