TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF GHRITA IN PADPARUSHATVA OF VATA PRADHANA PRAKRUTI INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Prakruti :-It is expression of healthy individuals in perspective of body functions, behaviour morphology and physiology. The qualitative and quantitative, unchangeable Doshika predominance from birth to death is called as Prakruti. Those exhibiting predominance of Kapha, Pitta or Vata are called Dehaprakruti. Attributes of Vata specific manifestations in the body of the individuals having dry, light, mobile, abundance, quick, cold, rough, non-slime. Due to all these properties of Vatadosha, persons of VataPrakruti, their body structure is thin and dry, their reaction are quick, he possesses split hairs, cracked hand and feet etc. From these above features Padaparushtva are one of them which are generally seen in Vata Pradhan Prakruti person. Parushtava means hardness/roughness which is the later stage of Ruksha and Khara. Dry feets is observed because of aggravated Vata Dosha due to Rukshata.2 The increased elements are treated by opposite Guna. So, if Ruksa Guna is increased then it is to be managed by Snigdha Guna and vice-versa.3 AIM: In this condition Ghrita is applied to the affected area because the property of Ghrita is opposite toVata, have Snigdha Guna. To assess the effect of Ghrita in Padaparushatva of Vata Pradhan Prakriti Individuals. OBJECTIVES: 1. Prakruti were assessed by Prakruti Parikshana Patrak. 2. To assess the effect of Ghrita in Padaparushtva of Vata Pradhan Prakruti by Dryness assessment scale. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 1. It is observational & interventional study. 2. People who fulfill the eligibility criteria were selected and those who are voluntarilyWilling to participate in the study, are taken with their written consent form. 3. The 111volunteers of Vata Pradhan Prakruti were selected with the help of Prakruti assessmentScale and from that those volunteers were selected in which Padaparushtvta is seen. 4. Padaparushtva were assessed with the help of Dryness Assessment Scale and grading were given.A proper process was explained and it is instructed to follow by the volunteers regularly. Go-Ghrita were provided for 30 days to the volunteers and advised them to apply Ghrita on heels. 5. This process was followed by volunteers regularly over the period of 30 days. 6. After 30 days follow up were taken and assessment were done with the help of Dryness Assessment Scale. ETHICAL CLEARANCE Was obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee of Parul Institute of Ayurveda, Parul University. (IEC No PU/PIA/IECHR/2019/1), and Registered in Clinical Trial Registry India (CTRI /2019/03/018269). RESULTS: The final result showed that effect of Go-Ghrita in Padaparushatva of Vata PradhanPrakrutiindividuals shows a significant. Within that also in comparisonVatapitta Prakruti shows more beneficial result than Vatakapha Prakruti. DISCUSSION: In present research Go-Ghrita was applied in Padaparushtva which had shown beneficial effect in roughness and scaling which were present in Vata Pradhan Prakriti.Here Padaparushtva have Rukshata, Kathinyata, and Kharta which is managed by opposite Guna like with Snigdha Guna, Mradu Guna, and Slekshna Guna. So, it was observed that Go- Ghrita shown very beneficial effect in Padaparushatva. It was also seen that the volunteers who had followed proper hygiene like wearing foot wear, avoiding contact with dust got very good result. Go-Ghrita had shown very good and fast effect within 30 days. CONCLUSION: The observation showed that there is significant effect of Go-Ghrita in Padaparushatva of Vata Pradhan Prakruti individual and because of mean difference Vataptita shows more beneficial. It was then evident from the current research study that maintaining foot hygiene and avoiding predisposing factors plays a very significant role of disease remission. Hence,Go-Ghrita can be used for the management of Padaparushatva in OPD as well as in home preparation.
