Janu sandhigatavata is a type of vatavyadhi described in ayurveda which nearly corresponds to osteoarthritis of knee joint.  Effect of janubasti with mahanarayana taila along with dashmoola kwath nadi-swedana is assessed in this case study. Two therapy session (each session is of 6 days) with a gap of 6 days in-between the two session has been advised to the patient. The study reports significant relief in subjective parameters like Vatapurnadritisparsa (joint crepitations), Sandhi Shoola (joint pain) and Prasaranakkunchanapravriti savedana (pain during flexion and extension of joint). Sandhi Shotha (joint swelling) is completely relieved after the study.
