A comparative clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of sahacharadi kashaya with vasaguduchyadi kashaya preceded by sahacharadi taila matra basti in siraja granthi vis-à-vis varicose veins
By Dr. Ananta S. Desai2 Dr. Lalita Suranagi*1.
Abstract
Background
Sirāja Granthi, a Vātapradhāna Vyādhi, can be correlated with varicose veins, a chronic venous disorder of dilated, elongated, tortuous superficial veins caused by valvular incompetence. It presents with pain, heaviness, edema, itching, pigmentation and reduced quality of life. Conventional management gives symptomatic relief but carries risks of recurrence and procedure-related complications. Mātrā Basti and Vātahara formulations may offer a safe, economical alternative.
Objective
To compare the efficacy of Sahacharādi Kaṣāya with Vāsāgudūcyādi Kaṣāya, each preceded by Sahacharādi Taila Mātrā Basti, in Sirāja Granthi (uncomplicated varicose veins, CEAP C1–C4).
