Pawar Rohini Sunil Naikwad Neralkar UK 11 -0001 85 91 Background: Vatarakta (Gout), an ailment described in Ayurveda, closely resembles gout in modern medicine. It is characterized by pain, swelling, and burning sensations in joints due to the vitiation of Vata and Rakta. Gout is a metabolic disorder associated with hyperuricemia and recurrent inflammatory arthritis. Conventional treatments like NSAIDs, colchicine, and corticosteroids provide temporary relief but have limitations and side effects. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Dashmool Ghrita Parisheka (medicated stream pouring) combined with Amruta Guggul (oral therapy) compared to Amruta Guggul alone in the management of Vatarakta. Methods: A comparative clinical trial was conducted on 80 patients diagnosed with Vatarakta. Group A received Dashmool Ghrita Parisheka externally with Amruta Guggul orally, and Group B received only Amruta Guggul orally for 7 days. Subjective and objective parameters were assessed before and after treatment. Results: Group A showed significantly greater relief in tenderness (88.23% vs. 52.17%), burning sensation (94.11% vs. 51.72%), and stiffness (89.36% vs. 50%). Statistical analysis confirmed that the combination therapy was significantly more effective (p Vatarakta Gout Parisheka Dashmoola Ghrita Amruta Guggul
