Avascular necrosis (AVN) is the condition where an interruption of the subchondral blood supply leads to the death of cellular components of the bone, particularly of the epiphyseal region of weight-bearing joints. [1] A 60-year-old male patient who had been suffering from AVN for the last 2 years was admitted under kaychikitsa IPD in L K Ayurveda Rugnalaya. He was diagnosed as a case of avascular necrosis of the neck and femur based on X-ray reports. As per Ayurveda, the patient was diagnosed as a case of Asthi Majja Gata Vata (Vata disorder involving bone and bone marrow). The patient was treated with Ayurvedic drug formulation and Panchakarma procedure such as local massage and fomentation,Yog Basti (Anuvasan basti with Dhanvantar guduchyadi tailam and Niruh basti with Eranmool bharad churna) as per Yog Basti schedule (8 days regime of purification and oleation enema) and oral medication as a combination of Yograjguggulu+Punarnavaguggulu 1gm twice a day ,Arogyavardhini vati +Ekangvir rasa+Vatvidhvansa rasa 750mg twice a day, Dashmool Bharad Kwath 30ml twice a day,a combination of Dashmool (Powder of Smilax glabra) 1gm, Rasna churna 1gm(Powder of Glycyrrhiza glabra),Ashwagandha 1gm (Powder of Withania somnifera),Punarnava (Powder of Boerhavia diffusa )1 gm twice a day, Swadisht virechan churna 3gm at bed time for 1 month.
