Abstract

Katishoola is a very common complaint, which is localized Vatavyadhi where Vata dosha affects Katisandhi.In modern it is nearly correlated with Lumbar spondylosis. Katishoola is a disease which is mainly caused by the vitiation of Vata Dosha. In Ayurveda Katishoola comes under Vatavyadhi. Management for this is Katibasti as mentioned in the Ayurvedic Texts. Katibasti is one of the popular Panchakarma therapy described as Bahi Parimarjana Chikitsa (external procedure) in Ayurveda.Here in this case we are discussing a successfully treated simple katishoola in a 48-year-old female patient with sahacharadi taila katibasti.
