The study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Panchatikta Kshira Basti in themanagement of Sciatica. Panchatikta Kshira Basti contains Guduchi (Tinospora cardiofolia). Nimba(Azadirakta indica) Vasa (Adhathoda vasica), Kantakari (Solanum Surrattense), Patola (Trichosanthesdioica), Kshira (Milk) Goghrita (Ghee), Madhu (Honey), Saindhava (Salt). This remedy proveextremely beneficial as it can be performed on the OPD and IPD basis, gives significant relief in thesymptoms e.g. radiating pain, stiffness, twitching sensation. The subjective parameters like Pain, SLR,VAD, VDS etc., were used to score clinical outcome. The average clinical improvement was calculatedby proper statistical treatment. Our experience with this modality has been encouraging as theresponse pattern is good in considerably short duration of treatment. The patient improves graduallyafter 4 weeks of treatment. The sustained improvement with Basti presents a window of opportunityin the clinical management of Sciatica. Ideally this technique should be practically taught to thephysicians and should be evaluated scientifically using principles of biophysics and nerve conductionstudies.
