Management of erythema nodosum w.s.r. to Uttana Vatarakta- A Case Study

Abstract

Acharya Shusruta included Raktamokshana in Panchakarma and described it as the best procedure because it eliminates all three vitiated Doshas viz. Vata, Pitta & Kapha associated with dushta Rakta. Jaloukavacharan is type of Ashastrakruta Raktamokshan. Nirvish Jalouka are used to treat intense pain and associated symptoms in arthritis, vascular and venous diseases, varicose vein ulcers, skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema and many others. Erythema Nodosum is a disease of deep dermis and subcutaneous fat characterized by red, tender, painful nodules. These signs and symptoms are similar to vatarakta. Jaloukavacharan help to reduce the local swelling, tenderness, temperature, pain by removing vitiated rakta and help in healthy circulation and proper oxygenation of tissues.
