Summary of article contents:

Kasa is one of the common complaints for which patients seek medical attention. As a result raja and dhooma , the main cause of Pranavaha srotodushti , has become unavoidable, making Kasa the most common disease Acharya Bhela tells that, due to nidana sevana, the vitiation of Vata takes place and moves to the Hrudaya. In Hrudaya, it creates Hrudgraha and reaches Urdhwa dhamanees thereby producing Vataja Kasa. It is characterized by lakshanas like Shuska Gala, Shuska kasa with Shuska-Alpa-Kapha , Swarbheda, Parshvashoola , Shirashoola, Urashoola, Dourbalya etc. Shuntyadi lehya from the reference of Chikitsakrama and Sarvaroga chikitsanool was selected for the study.

As a result, this article addresses Ayurvedic treatment methods like the use of Shuntyadi lehya which delivers a safe and effective solution.
