A Clinical Study on Jalaukaavacharana, Rasnadi Pradeha and Gorakhmundi Churana in the Management of Vatarakta W.S.R. To Gouty Arthritis

Vatarakta is one of the Rakta Pradoshaja Vikara. The disease produced by the vitiation of both Vata and Rakta is termed Vatarakta. It can be compared with Gout and other crystal arthropathies. Raktamokshana means letting of blood, which mainly indicates a disease state, especially when there is a Rakta Dushti and during physiological function. Acharya has recommended Raktamokshana in Vatarakta. By Raktamokshana, vitiated blood is expelled, which helps cure diseases and their symptoms. Raktamokshana is of two types Shastrakruta and Ashastrakruta. Jalaukavcharana comes under Ashastrakruta Karma. It is observed that it helps rapidly reduce inflammation and pain. In this study, a patient was diagnosed with Vatarakta, and its classic symptoms were treated with Jalaukavcharana.
