Abstract

Avabahuka is an Ansa sandhi (Shoulder Joint) disorder described by Acharya Vagbhata in Vatavyadhi Adhyay. The patient's regular activities are hampered by pain and limited movement because of it. For such a disease, modern medicine offers NSAIDs and steroids, but they have some limitations, side effects, and are unsatisfying. Therefore, in accordance with Avastha (condition), Samanya Chikitsa of Vatavyadhi (general line of treatment) like Snehan (Oleation), Swedana (Sudation), Mrudushodhan (Mild Detoxification) etc and Vishesh chikitsa of Avabahuka (Specific line of treatment) such as Nasya (Nasal drop) and Uttar bhaktikam snehapana (administration of medicated ghee or oil after meal) are taken into consideration.In this case there was good improvement after.
