Focussing on a single disease elaborated in modern science and equate it to <em>Vatarakta</em> cannot be considered as an apt methodology. Rather, <em>Vatarakta</em> can be understood as a conglomeration of different diseases such as autoimmune disorders, peripheral arterial disease and gouty arthritis to name a few.</p> <p>In this case study, a 42 year old male patient diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease was treated with the aid of the principles of <em>Vataraktachikitsa</em> and medications suitable to the disease under consideration. <em>Shamana</em> modality of treatment was advocated for the patient. The findings were obtained with timely monitoring of the symptoms and condition of the disease. Medications which included <em>Shilajatu, Guggulu tiktakakashaya</em> and <em>Jatyaditaila </em>provided significant relief.</p>}, number={3}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, year={2020}, month={Aug.}, pages={2745-2748} }
