  • Abstract:
  • One of the most prevalent musculoskeletal system disorders is low back pain. Low back pain is more common in males than in women, with the highest prevalence occurring in those between the ages of 20 and 60. In India, the reported lifetime incidence ranges from 10% to 40%, with an annual incidence of 1% to 5%. It begins at the hip and works its way down to the waist, thigh, knee, calf region, and foot. This condition worsens because of a variety of reasons, including unhealthy Dietary habits and a Sedentary lifestyle. We can associate this with "Sciatica" in contemporary science based on the observed signs and symptoms. Because the Sciatic nerve is involved, the condition is called Sciatica. According to Ayurveda, this condition is called Gridhrasi. This is a type of Vatavyadhi and Vata dosha circulates throughout the body. Among all Vatavyadhis, Gridhrasi is defined under Vata Nanatmaj Vyadhi. According to Acharya Charak, there are 80 types of Vata Nanatmaj Vyadhi. According to various Acharyas, there are Gridhrasi is mainly cause by two Doshas, which are Vata and Kapha. Panchakarma Chikitsa is also helpful for the treatment of this serious disease, along with Aushadhiya Chikitsa. It is a type of Vatavyadhi, so Basti is its best treatment, out of which Kati Basti, Matra Basti, and Niruha Basti are the main ones. Kati Basti is an external therapy that acts as both Snehan and Swedan therapy.
