A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Khajita Pinda Taila in the Symptomatic Management of Daha and Shoola of Vatarakta w.s.r to Diabetic Neuropathy

Abstract

Background: The transformation of properties from a raw drug in to a formulation is made possible by the use of various processing techniques named Samskaras. Manthana Samskara is said to imbibe Sheeta Guna to a formulation as Sheeta Jala is used in the process. Vatarakta is a Vyadhi predominantly affecting the extremities mainly the Pada and Hasta. The obstruction to the flow of Vata Dosha as well as Rakta Dhatu is the main pathology involved. The same etiopathogenesis along with Vatarakta can also be observed in Prameha, Sthoulya and Shonita Dushti. Due to this similarity in the pathology, many symptoms like Daha and Shoola which are manifested in Vatarakta are also observed to be manifested in Diabetic Neuropathy. Pinda Taila is one such Yoga mentioned in our classics for the relief of Daha and Shoola developed in Vatarakta after subjecting it to Khajita Samskara/Manthana Samskara. Aims and objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Khajita Pinda Taila in the symptomatic management of Daha and Shoola of Diabetic Neuropathy. Materials and methods: 20 patients diagnosed with Diabetic Neuropathy suffering from Daha and Shoola were selected for the study. Results and Conclusion: Khajita Pinda Taila was observed to be statistically efficacious in the management of the symptom Daha than Shoola.
