Several oral medicinal preparations are also mentioned in the classics for the treatment of <em>Gridhrasi</em>. The disease ranges from simple backache to severe complications like deformities and ultimately cripples the patient. The allopathic system of medicine has conducted extensive studies on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics and other physiotherapies but could not find a suitable medication or technique which is safe and effective for <em>Gridhrasi</em>. In the present case study, <em>Gridhrasi</em> has been treated with oral administration of <em>Mahavatavidhwansan rasa </em>for thirty days along with <em>Mahanarayan taila katibasti </em>for 15 days. The clinical trial revealed that this Ayurvedic combination therapy significantly improved the <em>Gridhrasi </em>condition of the patient.</p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research}, author={Goswami, Ditimoni}, year={2015}, month={Dec.} }
