Abstract
Ayurveda is ancient Science of life, The basic principle followed in the Ayurvedic system of medicine is _
“ स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्य रक्षणं । आतुरस्य विकार प्रशमनं च || ”(Ch. Su. 30/26)[1]
which means it has not only got curative perspective, but also maintains the unique constitutional balance of the individual. The principles of Ayurveda always aim at preventing the occurrences of the imbalances in the body i.e., to maintain the Health of Healthy and to cure those imbalances and treat the disease right from the root of their pathogenesis which means to cure the diseases of the diseased
Bruhattrayees and Laghutryees have explained Sandhigata Vata as one among Vatavyadhis. In Ayurveda, Acharya Charaka was the pinor to describe the disease separately named "SANDHIGATA ANILA" under the heading of Vatavyadhi Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Vagbhatta have included Vatavyadhi under the “ASHTA MAHAGAD” because of its Ashukarita and Upadrava.
This aggrevated Vata dosha leading to Dhatu kshaya which in turn reduces Sneha bhava in the body and Kshaya of Shleshaka Kapha in the Sandhis. Now this vitiated Vata Dosha travels throughtout the body and gets sthansamshraya in place of Khavaigunya i.e., in Sandhis where Srotoriktata already exists along with other Doshas. Thereby, resulting in Karma hani of the Sandhis.
Use of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Glucocorticoids, DMARDs have been associated with numerous side effects such as their Gastrointestinal ulcers, Gastrointestinal bleeding and perforations, Adrenal suppression, Osteoporosis, Pulmonary complications etc.
