Brief Summary  

            Vatarakta is chronic joint and body pain disease accompanied by pain, stiffness, swelling over joints which involves vitiated Vata dosha as well as Rakta dhatu.Aggrevated Vata is blocked by vitiated Rakta which leads to further aggrevation of Vata dosha.

              The classical symptoms of Vatarakta are Kandu, Shool, Stambha, Daha, Shoth, Twakkrushnata. The etiological factors responsible for pathology and clinical features of Gouty Arthritis are quite similar to the Vatarakta; hence Vatarakta can be correlated to Gout. Vatarakta manifest hands, feet fingers and all joints. Initially, hands and feet are affected and later it spread to all over the body. Due to subtleness and prevasiness of Vata and liquidity and dispersibility of Rakta, it circulates all over the body through blood vessels, get obstructed in the joints which makes them further aggrevated and get logged there.

            The changes of Vatarakta is expected to increase in the upcoming years due to sedentary lifestyle, increasesd use of computerization and also due to mental stress, excess travelling.

               It is heterogenous disorder that results in the deposition of Uric acid salt and crystals in and around the joints. Its causes include over production of Uric acid seen in only 10-15% of subjects and in 80-90% Uric acid excretion is impaired.The incidence of gout increases with increasing serum urate level. 

              It is a fact that despite recent progress of modern science. It is unable to provide an effective cure for Vatarakta except for giving temporary relief through analgesics or continuous use of NSAIDs and steroids for reliving pain lead to secondary complications lie kidney failure, liver failure and gastritis.

               The incidence of gout increases with increasing serum urate level. The highest incidence of gout occurs between 30 to 45 yrs in men and 55 -70 yrs in women. It is rare in children and in premenopausal women partly due to mild uricosuric effect of estrogenic hormone. The Maharashtra shows prevalence of gout is 2% .

              In modern treatment no specific therapy is available. The aim is to control pain and maintain maximal degree of joint mobility. The varieties of drug in the medical management is NSAIDs/ Colchicine / Glucocorticoid which fail to modify course of disease or unable to treat the disease and frequently meet with the ill effects of these drugs.The main motto of study is to provide an Ayurvedic treatment modality with minimal side effects as compared to modern treatment

           In Ayurveda a detailed description of Vatarakta chikitsa is discussed in all texts along with line of treatment, being Shodhana, Shaman and

Bahyachikitsa. Many therapeutic modalities and different preparation arementioned by our ancient acharyas for Shamana, Shodhana and the Bahyachikitsa, which can effectively treat the disease and it is the need of hour to manage such a condition. Hence this topic is selected for study. 

               Keeping these facts in mind this study has been under taken to bring out a treatment modality with no side effects and long lasting life. In this study the role of Vasadi kwatha which is simple and potent kalpa described in Bhaishajya Ratnavali with specified indication only in Vatarakta
