A 39yr old, average built male patient radiologically diagnosed as a case of Avascular necrosis of left femoral head (Ficat and Arlet stage2) with sacralised L-5 vertebra, came to hospital with complaints of pain over left lower back radiating towards left lower limb (Visual analogue scale-grade 6) along with decreased range of movements in the left hip joint for last...years. In Ayurveda, it can be understood under Asthi-majjagata vata (musculoskeletal disorder) and treated accordingly. Initially, the patient had been administered with conservative medicines Rasnasapthakam kashyam and ashtachoorna, dhanyamla dhara (pouring liquid), sarvanga abhyanga (mild therapeutic massage) and bashpa sweda(steam) along with physiotherapy. Further, manjishtadi ksheera and Guggulutikthaka ghritha(100ml) was administered as Yoga basti (Medicated Enema given for 8days). This resulted in relief of pain to grade ‘2’ on visual analogue scale and improvement in range of motion of left hip joint.
