Vatarakta is a disease caused when aggravated Vata gets obstructed in its course by aggravated Rakta; the obstructed Vata, inturn, vitiates the Rakta, resulting in the condition called Vatarakta. A single case study shown here, a 76-year-old female patient approached Kayachikitsa OPD with the chief complaint of multiple tortuous veins over bilateral feet for ten years associated with dryness, burning sensation (occasionally), blackish discoloration and itching over the prominent veins for ten years. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic principles, including Samshodhana and Samshamana. The patient’s condition was assessed based on the symptoms of Vatarakta, and the results were remarkable after the treatment.
