Abstract

One of the most typical vatavyadhi-related health issues we regularly address is gridhra. Burning, stinging, or numbness in the leg, foot, thigh, or buttocks are its defining symptoms. It might or might not be related to back discomfort. Gridhrasi seems to have an effect on both physically sedentary and physically demanding patient types. Statements regarding Siravyadha made by Charya Charaka, Sushruta, Vagbhatta Yogratnakara, and Bhela can be found in Gridhrasi's Chikitsasutra. To assess siravyadha's effectiveness in Gridharasi, a study was done. The objective of the study was to assess how well Siravyadha can help in managing symptoms of Gridhrasi. 30 patients with Gridhrasi symptoms and fit the criteria for Siravyadha were selected. Siravydha was performed after drava snigdha yavagu pana, sthanika snehana, and swedana were added and samyak stravit lakshanas were detected. The patient data was assessed before and after the procedure of Siravyadha. Paired ‘t’ test was used to tabulate results statistically.
