Abstract
Thromboangitis Obliterans is an inflammatory occlusive vascular disorder involving small and medium sized arteries and veins in the distal upper and lower extremities. The disorder develops most commonly in men less than 40 years of age. Although the cause is unknown, there is a definite relationship to cigarette smoking in patients with this disorder. The clinical feature of TAO often include a triad of claudication of the affected extremity, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and migratory superficial vein thrombophlebitis. In ayurevda, TAO can be understood as Gambhareera Vatarakta manifested as a result of Avarana by Pitta, Kapha and Medas. Therefore, the main line of management of TAO in Ayurveda include Avarana chikitsa, Raktamokshana, Kevela Vata chikitsa and Rasayana.
