Brief Summary  
Many local swedan therapies are done routinely in Panchakarma procedures
like Sankar Swed, Sthanik basti , Lepa etc. Upanaha sweda is one of the
swedan modality having remarkable results in various conditions of
Janusandhigat vata.
Paraffin wax therapy is one of the effective thermal modality routinely used in
physiotherapy for joint pain, stiffness and to improve joint range of motion.
A lot of Independant research has been done i.e. Effect of Atasi Upanah in
Janusandhigat vata. Effect of Paraffin wax therapy in Janusandhigat vata .but
combined research study of both treatment modalities not found.
So to enhance patient centric approach, and to save the time of patients both
the therapies will conduct together. It will enhance rehabilitation for chronic
condition. Also this approach will lead to more comprehensive and long
lasting result.
