Out of them the most crippling disorder, which hampers the economy of the world as well as the individual, are musculo-skeletal disorders. These are best known as Rheumatic disorders. Out of them many disorders have got signs & symptoms similar to Amavata. So the Amavata description given in the Madhavanidana covers a variety of Rheumatological disorders. Due to wide spectrum of disease, much prevalence in the society and lack of effective medicament, the disease is being chosen for the study.

In group A 15 patients were treated with Prasarini Taila and Doshahara Basti for 8 consecutive days.
