Initially, the patient had been administered with conservative medicines Rasnasapthakam kashyam and ashtachoorna, dhanyamla dhara (pouring liquid), sarvanga abhyanga (mild therapeutic massage) and bashpa sweda(steam) along with physiotherapy. Further, manjishtadi ksheera and Guggulutikthaka ghritha(100ml) was administered as Yoga basti (Medicated Enema given for 8days). This resulted in relief of pain to grade ‘2’ on visual analogue scale and improvement in range of motion of left hip joint.
