A man of 40 came with a constant tingling pain in his hands and feet. It would become very severe if he walked a lot, or drove long distances.
He had been to many specialists and followed many treatments. Latest medication had been a course of steroids, followed by being started on BP medicines, because a side effect of the steroids was to increase BP.
Here his condition was diagnozed as vata aggravation. He was prescribed a diet free of chillies and cold items and excess dals, all of which he had been indulging in and which aggravate vata.He was told to avoid late nights which also aggravates vata. He was advised a course of abhyangam, oil massage treatment for a week, an hour daily. He was given basic medicines to address vata, Maharasnadi kashayam, Ashwagandhadhi, and after a week Guggulu Tikta Grutham was added.
In two weeks he was almost completely well, and said that there was some 10% of the tingling if he over exerted. He was advised to continue the medicines for 2 more weeks and stop.
