Summary of article contents:

Vitiated Vata and Rakta combine to cause several health ailments. Vatarakta is one of them. Rapid modernization, junk food culture, stressful life, and urbanisation are the causative factors of Vatarakta . VataPrakopa , RaktaDushti , and obstruction in the path of Vata are the core pathology of the disease. The pathology of this disease originates in blood and spreads through blood vessels mainly superficial femoral and popliteal veins in the thighs and the posterior tibial and peroneal veins in the calves. Hence this vyadhi can be compared to Deep Vein Thrombosis. Because of the morbidity, chronicity, incurability, and complications, the management of vatarakta is a difficult task. Hence an attempt has been made to manage this disease based on the shamanaaushadis and shodhana procedures mentioned in different texts of Ayurveda . Keywords: Vatarakta, DVT INTRODUCTION Deep vein thrombosis
