I NTRODUCTION Generally Swedana therapy [1] cannot be directly considered as a Panchakarma procedure. It comes under the Poorvakarmas of Panchakarma procedures [2] These Poorvakarmas play important role Address for correspondence: Dr. Athreya Sharma M Post Graduate Scholar, Department of PG Studies in Panchakarma, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda Udupi, Karnataka, India.

[4] In diseases such as Amavata [5] the severity of the symptoms draws a patient towards modern medicine for relief in symptoms to achieve basic daily activities. Rooksha Sweda [6] is one of the foremost Bahirparimarjana Chikithsa [7] in Amavata . With similar aim to develop better compliability and preparation for further Panchakarma procedures Dhanyamla Parisheka, [8] a type of Rooksha Parisheka Sweda is chosen in cases diagnosed of rheumatoid arthritis by haematological examinations [9] and diagnostic criteria [10] for rheumatoid arthritis. The study was done on patients of rheumatoid arthritis with the aim to evaluate the effect of Dhanyamla Parisheka in rheumatoid arthritis under the consideration of correlation to Amavata . A B S T R A C T Background: Bahirparimarjana Chikitsa is one of two modes of treatment explained in Ayurvedic medical science. Doshas move from internal Koshta to Shaakha during disease pathology or Roga Samprapti . Swedana is considered one such treatment protocol to bring Doshas from Shaakha to Koshta . Parisheka is a method of Swedana by pouring medicated water or oil over the body. Dhanyamla Parisheka is a Rooksha inducing Parisheka Sweda . Amavata is a disease with predominant Kapha and Vata Dosha . Its Vyaktha Sthana is predominantly Sandhi with severe pain and swelling. Treatment of Amavata includes Rooksha Swedana . Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis largely correlate with the symptoms present in Amavata . Global prevalence rates of Rheumatoid Arthritis with genetic associations in India is 0.1-0.4%. Methods: In this study, 50 patients diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis were selected and subjected for Dhanyamla Parisheka . This study involves estimation of Rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein and Anti streptolysin O titre levels before treatment and after follow-up period and evaluation of pain, swelling, tenderness and range of movement of joints involved in the subjects before and after Dhanyamla Parisheka for 7 days. The results are suggestive of effect of the Dhanyamla Parisheka . Results: There was statistically significant reduction in Rheumatoid arthritis score in the subjects. Interpretation: Dhanyamla Parisheka is an effective Bahirparimarjana Chikithsa in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. Key words: Parisheka Swedana, Dhanyamla Parisheka, Amavata, Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory [12] disease with probable autoimmune origin, presents with symptoms such as morning stiffness, pain, swelling, tenderness and reduced range of movement in multiple joints. These symptoms mostly correlate with symptoms of Amavata . Swedana is of two types

[Summary: This page discusses the types of Swedana (Rooksha and Snigdha) and their application in Amavata, highlighting Dhanyamla's Ushna Rooksha nature and its Vata Kaphahara and Amahara actions. It concludes that the Swedana action brings Dosha back from Shaakha to Koshta, resulting in reduced symptoms. The page then presents the conclusion that Dhanyamla Parisheka is a Rooksha Swedana beneficial for Rheumatoid arthritis and includes a list of references.]

Athreya Sharma M. et al. A clinical study to effect of Dhanyamla Parisheka in Rheumatoid Arthritis ISSN: 2456-3110 ORIGINAL ARTICLE June 2022 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | June 2022 | Vol. 7 | Issue 5 27 Rooksha and Snigdha types [13] In case of Amavata , Rooksha Sweda is the choice of Swedana. [14] Parisheka Sweda comes under Drava Sweda according to Sushruta Samhitha where its told to be useful in Pittotkrushta Avastha thus considered useful in inflammatory condition, Dhanyamla is the drug used for Parisheka Sweda which by nature is Ushna Rooksha thus causing Vata Kaphahara [15] action and also effective Amahara . In whole the Swedana action of bringing Dosha back from Shaakha to Koshta . This may be the reason for evident reduction in symptoms of pain, swelling, morning stiffness, tenderness and improved range of movement in multiple joints. Though we find significant reduction in haematological values, we cannot attribute it singly to Dhanyamla Parisheka Swedana treatment. CONCLUSION Amavata is a Vyadhi where Kapha and Vata are predominantly involved. In Amavata mainly Kapha Sthana like Sandhi is affected. Rooksha Swedana is considered as the prime Bahirparimarjana Chikitsa for Amavata . Dhanyamla Parisheka is one such Rooksha Swedana procedure. The present study aimed to evaluate effect of Dhanyamla Parisheka in Rheumatoid arthritis, which was performed keeping in mind most patients struggle to perform daily activities due to the disorder. Patients require symptomatic relief for better compliability in taking treatments and performing daily activities that the Panchakarma procedure of Dhanyamla Parisheka for 7 days suffices as per the relief in symptomatic variables. This can have significant improvement on regular follow-up and prompt treatment in a chronic disorder. The symptomatic parameters show improvement subjectively and statistically as well without causing any adverse effects. Further scope of research can be towards multicentre study of the same with greater sample size. REFERENCES 1 Agnivesha. Charaka Samhita with commentary by Chakrapanidatta. Trikamji Yadavji (ed.).
