Sandhigata Vata’ vis-à-vis osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder. It is grouped under the nanatmaja vatavikara by Acharyas. It has been explained under the name of Sandhigata Anila, Sandhivata, Gulphavata or Khuddavata by different Acharyas. In Ayurvedic science, more emphasis is laid on the upakarmas mentioned in Sandhigatavata chikitsa. But present-day life style encourages us in probing a new treatment modality that could restore equilibrium of tridoshas, restores the normal flow of Vata, and that which provides strength to sandhi and other dhatus which are helpful in formation of Sandhi.1All along with the above, there is also need of Rasayana. Guggulu kalpa is one such measure, which mitigates Vata, provides strength to sandhi with rasayanic properties. Moreover, Acharya Sushruta has stated that it cures the Sandhigatavata vyadhi with in a masa (Month) just like a thunder bolt destroys the tree Various aharaja, viharaj, manasa and other vata prakopaka nidana are mentioned in detail as aetiological factors of vatavyadhi. Sandhigatavata specially occurs in vriddhavastha which is parihanikala in which dhatukshya takes place which in turn leads to vataprakopa. Vata and asthi have ashraya-ashrayi sambandha, which means vata is situated in asthi, according to Aacharya vagbhatta2 asthi is prime sight of vata. Vriddha or increased vata diminishes sneha from asthidhatu by its opposite qualities to sneha, by which khavaigunya (Rikta Srotas) occurs in asthi which is responsible for the pathogenesis of Sandhigatavata.
