Classical texts describe conditions similar to Vatarakta under various names, including Adhyavata, Vatabalasa, and Khuddavata, highlighting its recognition in traditional medicine. Acharya Charaka refers to Vatarakta as Adhyavata, indicating its association with affluent lifestyles and specific pathological features. In Vatarakta, the independently vitiated Vata dosha is obstructed by the independently vitiated Rakta (blood), leading to a cycle where Vata further aggravates Rakta and vice versa, exacerbating the condition. Vatarakta can be correlated to Gouty arthritis. Gout is a form of arthritis characterized by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals within and around the joints, leading to painful inflammation and swelling involving smaller joint then the larger joints. A 25year old young female visited to BVVS AMCH, Bagalkot on 21/09/2024 was suffering from multiple joint pain, swelling, and redness approximately since a week, starting from wrist joint then gradually involving other joints like first left metatarsal joint, interphalangeal joints, elbow, shoulder joints, with no history of fever, diabetes, hypertension, or hypothyroidism. Patient presented with raised ESR (32mm/1hour), raised CRP (12.13mg/L), raised serum uric acid (8.9mg%) with normal CBC count and urine examination. Patient was treated according to the avastha of the disease condition, like Mrutyunjaya Rasa, Kaishora Guggulu, Gokshuradi Guggulu, Amrutottara Kashaya, Amrutarishta, Mahamanjishtadi Kashaya, Mahayogaraja Guggulu, Ksheera Guduchi, Avipattikara Churna. for 2 months which resulted in significant improvement in terms of subjective and objective parameters. Here an attempt is made to describe the effect of ayurvedic treatment in vatarakta.
