The fundamental study of the principle Rogan Rutujan Na Jatu in the treatment of Pittaj Shirahshul (headache) w.s.r. to Virechanopakrama

To prevent the recurrence of seasonal disorders Rutuvat Shodhanopakrama (Seasonal detoxification)is the ideal pathway. So in Varsharutu (Rainy season), Bastikarma (Enema therapy); Sharadrutu(Autumn season), Virechankarma (Purgation therapy) and in Vasantrutu (Spring sea- son), Vamankarma (Emesis therapy) is best for Shodhan (detoxification) of vitiated Vatadosha, Pittadosha andKapha dosha respectively to avoid occurrence of seasonal disorders. Study is conducted only onVirechana karma (Purgation therapy) in Sharad Rutu (Autumn season) on sample size of 30 patientssuffering from Pittaj Shirahshul (Headache). The chief symptoms of the disease are Shirodaha(Burning sensation in head), Shirovedana (Headache), Chakshudaha (Burning sensation in eyes),Trushna (Thirst), Bhrama (Giddiness) and Swedpravrutti (Sweating). Sharadkalin Trivrutadi Virechanayoga (purgative formulation used in Autumn) is most efficacious which acts as Pittaghna (reducesPitta) and Rechana (purgative) which could be the beneficial line of treatment for Pittaj Shirahshul(Headache). Hence Virechana karma (Purgation ther- apy) should be carried out furthermore in everySharad rutu (autumn season) to reduce the risk of relapse and to prevent rutujanya pittaj shirahshul(headache due to vitiated Pitta).
