ABSTRACT The most typical disorder in the locomotor system is Osteoarthritis (OA). This disorder primarily affects large joints, especially in weight-bearing joints. Osteoarthritis symptoms are frequently observed in 15% of males and 25% of females. It can be compared with Sandhigata Vata in Ayurveda. Modern medicine has its limitations when it comes to treating this illness. Thus, Sandhigata Vata needs to find appropriate management. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatment in Sandhigata Vata, particularly shodhana (purification) and shamana chikitsa (palliative therapy). A 57-year-old female patient was diagnosed with Sandhigata Vata. The patient has pain in both knee joints, particularly in the right knee joint, and has experienced difficulty walking for the last five years. The X-ray of the right knee joint showed a considerable reduction in joint space due to osteophytes.treated with shaman aushadhi and janu basti.
