Comparative study of Vatarakta w.s.r. to Gouty Arthritis

Abstract

A healthy lifestyle isn’t just diet and exercise. Today we go over the components of leading a healthy lifestyle and how it’s important to lead a balanced life. In general, most would agree that a healthy person doesn’t smoke, is at a healthy weight, eats a balanced healthy diet, thinks positively, feels relaxed, exercises regularly, has good relationships, and benefits from a good life balance. The World Health Organization in 1946 defined health as ‘A complete state of mental, physical and social well-being not merely the absence of disease’ Vatarakta is a metabolic condition where the most common symptom is pain, which interferes with the patients' daily lives. Vatarakta is named on the basis of the Vata dosha & Rakta dosha which have their own independent derivation & are the main Samprapti Ghatak involved in the Vatarakta. Gouty arthritis is a purine metabolic condition and an inflammatory reaction to the MSUM (Monosodium Urate Monohydrate) crystals that are produced as a result of hyperuricemia.
