In Ayurveda, treatments for Arsha can be categorized into medicinal (Bhaishajyachikitsa) and surgical (Shalya Chikitsa) approaches. Among these, Vatikalpana, or herbal formulations, is of particular interest for research in medicinal treatment. One notable formulation is Jatiphaladi Vati, as described in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali. Jatiphaladi Vati has shown promising results in reducing the symptoms of Arsha due to its effective combination of ingredients. It is a non-invasive and patient-friendly alternative to surgical methods. During my research assignment, Jatiphaladi Vati was dispensed from the Shalyatantra OPD, demonstrating that its oral administration is highly convenient and effective for patient.Given the limited previous research in this area, the efficacy of Jatiphaladi Vati in treating Arsha is a subject of ongoing evaluation, highlighting its potential as a valuable treatment option.
