        abstract = {This case study discusses the effective 
Ayurvedic management of Osteoarthritis (OA) in a 61
year-old male farmer named ABC. OA is a 
degenerative joint disorder commonly marked by joint 
pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility due to cartilage 
deterioration. Conventional medicine typically targets 
symptom control, often overlooking the root cause. In 
contrast, Ayurveda offers a comprehensive approach, 
addressing both pathology and symptomatology 
through personalized treatments. ABC presented with 
severe pain, restricted movement, and stiffness in 
multiple joints including the knees, spine, hips, 
shoulders, and fingers. He was diagnosed with 
Sandhigata Vata—an osteoarticular disorder of Vata 
dosha affecting Asthi (bone) and Sandhi (joints). The 
treatment involved Panchakarma, with a focus on Janu 
Basti, alongside internal and external Ayurvedic 
medications to pacify aggravated Vata and strengthen 
bone tissue. Significant improvements were observed 
post-treatment, including reduced pain and stiffness, 
improved joint function, and radiological signs of 
reduced degeneration. This case highlights the efficacy 
of Ayurvedic protocols, especially Janu Basti, in 
improving the quality of life for patients suffering 
from OA.},
