Panchatikta Kshira Basti contains Guduchi (Tinospora cardiofolia). Nimba\u0000(Azadirakta indica) Vasa (Adhathoda vasica), Kantakari (Solanum Surrattense), Patola (Trichosanthes\u0000dioica), Kshira (Milk) Goghrita (Ghee), Madhu (Honey), Saindhava (Salt). This remedy prove\u0000extremely beneficial as it can be performed on the OPD and IPD basis, gives significant relief in the\u0000symptoms e.g. radiating pain, stiffness, twitching sensation. The subjective parameters like Pain, SLR,\u0000VAD, VDS etc., were used to score clinical outcome. The average clinical improvement was calculated\u0000by proper statistical treatment. Our experience with this modality has been encouraging as the\u0000response pattern is good in considerably short duration of treatment. The patient improves gradually\u0000after 4 weeks of treatment. The sustained improvement with Basti presents a window of opportunity\u0000in the clinical management of Sciatica. Ideally this technique should be practically taught to the\u0000physicians and should be evaluated scientifically using principles of biophysics and nerve conduction\u0000studies.","PeriodicalId":153289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences (JAIMS)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126671421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
