Vatarakta is one such metabolic disorder. It is disease caused due to margavarana of aggravated Vata by vitiated Rakta or morbid Kapha and Medas. Etiological factors of Vatarakta are responsible for aggravation of Vata dosha and Rakta dushti. It also has rasayana, pain relieving and anti inflammatory properties which renders it quite effective for those suffering from the disease. The presentation of Vatarakta along with its etiopathogenesis is quite similar to gouty arthritis in modern medicine. Patoladi kwath is a combination of tridosha shamak, Raktasodhak (blood purifier) and also Vatashamak drugs. This decoction helps in Vatarakta to alleviate the features of aggravated doshas and remove blockage in srotas thereby causing Vayu shaman. The management of Vatarakta is a challenge as it is a disease of severe morbidity, chronicity and incurable to certain extent with associated complications . With certain lifestyle modifications alongwith pathya ahara(right diet) and certain Ayurvedic modalities it can be cured and prevented.</p> ER -
