Gridhrasi </em>is one among 80 <em>Vataja nanatmaja vyadhi</em>. This can be correlated with Sciatica in modern medicine. <em>Panchakarma</em> presents a unique approach of <em>Ayurveda</em>. Among the <em>Panchakarma</em>, <em>Vasti karma</em> is such a <em>Chikitsa</em> that is indicated in all the <em>Vatavyadhi</em>. <em>Gridhrasi</em> is a <em>Vata vyadhi</em>, in which local <em>Samprapti </em>is having quiet major importance. In the procedure of <em>Kativasti, Snehana</em> and <em>Svedana</em> occur simultaneously and locally. So <em>Matravasti</em> and <em>Kativasti</em> have an important role as both come under <em>Snehana </em>treatment and have been selected for the study. <em>Dhanvantara taila </em>is indicated in <em>Vata vyadhi </em>and <em>Tila taila </em>is <em>Marutaghnam</em>, so both the <em>Taila</em> are selected for the study. In the present clinical study, 60 patients with <em>Gridhrasi</em> under inclusion criteria are selected and divided into four groups. The treatment is for 14 days. The efficacy of treatment is assessed immediately after treatment and after 15 days of completion of treatment by objective parameters and by adopting scoring methods for the subjective parameters and the results are analyzed statistically by ANOVA test. The results of the study indicate that the ā€˜pā€™ value is highly significant to extremely significant in all the four groups in selected parameters.</p>}, number={5}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Sidda Reddy Manasa* and A.
