A CLINICAL EVALUATION OF UPANAHA BANDHANA WITH MEDICATED PASTE OF MEDASAKA, ARJUNA, HADJOD, HARIDRA AND GUD IN MANAGEMENT OF KROSHTUKSHEERSHA

Abstract

According to Ayurvedic scriptures, Kroshtuksheersha is characterized by knee joint swelling, pain, warmth, and restricted movement that resembles a jackal's head. It is very similar to contemporary inflammatory knee conditions like pseudogout or synovitis. The clinical effectiveness of Upanaha Bandhana made with Medasaka, Arjuna, Hadjod, Haridra, and Gud in the treatment of Kroshtuksheersha was assessed in this study. Thirty participants participated in this seven-day, open-label, single-group clinical research. Pain, swelling, soreness, and range of motion were among the evaluation criteria. The formulation was considered safe, economical, and effective for inflammatory knee problems, as evidenced by the results, which demonstrated a considerable improvement in joint function and a reduction in clinical symptoms.
