ABSTRACT Introduction: Any degenerative type of pathological conditions in the body can be considered under the broad umbrella of ‘Vata Vyadhi’. A study of asymptomatic adults showed significant degenerative changes at 1 or more levels in 70% of women and 95% of men at age 65 and 60 respectively. The most common evidence of degeneration is found at C5-6 followed by C6-7 and C4-5". Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of ‘Rasnadi Guggulu’ and “Griva Vasti” in the management of ‘Griva-Sandhigata Vata’. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in 20 clinically diagnosed patients of Griva-Sandhigata Vata. These patients were divided into two groups of 10 patients each.
