A REVIEW STUDY ON VATARAKTA W.S.R TO GOUT

Abstract

Vatarakta is the most common example of Vata Vyadhi produced by the Avarana Samprapti. The vitiation of Vata and Rakta leads to Vatarakta. The passage of aggravated Vata is blocked by vitiated Rakta, resulting in Vata becoming more aggravated. As a result, exacerbated Vata vitiates Rakta and causes Vatarakta. Small joints in the hands and feet get injured first. The disease then spreads like rat poison through the entire body. Both the Viruddha Aahara and Vihara will lead to this condition. Vatarakta is one of the diseases where dietary habits, social structures, ways of life, and environments that are presently adversely affecting human health. The Vatarakta Nidana and Lakshana are comparable to the clinical appearance of Gout as described by contemporary medical science. Gout is an inflammatory reaction to Mono Sodium Urate crystals that develop as a result of hyperuricemia. Acute synovitis, persistent erosive and deforming arthritis, tophi, nephrolithiasis, and interstitial nephritis are the main clinical symptoms. Age and gender have an impact on the mean serum uric acid (urate) content.
