Sira kautilya: A Review article

Abstract

Ayurveda, the ultimate goal of Indian wisdom, explained the causes, symptoms, and treatments of several pathological illnesses. It also provided guidelines for healthy living and wellbeing. Varicose veins are one such health issue that is primarily seen in people who are involved in a specific occupation of continuous sedentary life style like seating job, multiple pregnancies, prolonged riding and standing postures for long periods, etc. Ayurveda also placed emphasis on anatomical health issues. A vatavyadhi known as sira akunchana (sira kautilya) is brought on by sira gata vata, or vitiated vata that affects sira. Although vatavyadhi is a rare condition, it is extremely serious, severe, and challenging to treat. Vata that is vitiated can lead to vatavyadhi and impact any region of the body. Path and lungs are what sira akunchana means. Veins are blood vessels that return deoxygenated blood from the outer parts of the body back to the heart and lungs. When veins become abnormally thick, full of twists and turns, or enlarged, they are called varicose vein.
