Abstract

Pseudogout (PG) is an acute arthritis attack that happens when you don't follow a natural diet and lifestyle. It makes it hard to do normal things. Extreme pain and stiffness happen in the joints, mostly in the knees. PG is made when calcium pyrophosphate crystals, a solid calcium salt, break down from bone that has built up in ligaments and joint spaces, mostly in the knee joints. Traditional medicine has a hard time treating PG, so people all over the world are looking for a method that is safe, cheap, and easy to use. The study's goal is to look at how well traditional ayurvedic treatments for PG, such as Yograj Guggulu and Punarnavadi Guggulu, work. Pseudogout (PG) is an acute arthritis attack that makes joints, especially the knees, hurt a lot and swell up. In Ayurveda, a sudden attack with a lot of pain and stiffness in the knee joints that looks like a jackal's head is called Kroshtukasheersha.(1). Acharya Sushruta called Kroshtukasheersha a vatavyadhi, which is like current terms for synovitis of the knee joint with effusion. (2) There are several causes for the swelling, such as arthritis or damage to the ligaments or meniscus.
