Abstract

DVT is the formation of blood clot (thrombosis) within deep vein, most commonly in legs. Non-specific sign may include pain, swelling, warmth, redness and engorged superficial veins. In Ayurveda it can be correlated with „siragranthi‟. Due sudden bathing (ambhoavagahat) after excessive walk (padatestu sahasa) or excessive exercise (vyam) there is vitiation of vaat dosha. This vitiated vaat dosha cause rakta dushti in sira which leads to shrinking (sampidya, sankochya, vishoshya), tortous or engorgement (vakra), stasis of blood (nishphura) of sira i.e.veins. All this conditions leads to formation of „sirajgranthhi‟. It is manily due to vitiation of vaat-rakta dosha so we have given basti and virechan to expel out vitiated dosha followed by jalaukavacharan to expel sthanik vitiated dosha to cure the disease. Here in present article a case study of sirajgranthi i.e. DVT has been discussed.
