Abstract
Cervical spondylosis or Manyagata Vata is one of the most common diseases arising from change in life
style, increased travelling on vehicles, continuous sitting and working on computers. Various single and
compound herbal and herbo-mineral preparations are mentioned in Ayurved texts for management of
cervical spondylosis. In this o pen ra ndomized study 30 patients predominantly complaining of pain in
cervical region (Manya Shoola) were screened for radiological evidence. Such patients were recruited
and treated with Trayodashang Guggulu (500 mg tds) for the period of 8 weeks. The percentage of relief
for Manya Shoola proved t o be 50 %. Manya Graha i mproved by 46.66 %. The trial drug gave 43.33 %
relief in Bhrama. Percentage of reli ef in Mansabala Kshaya was 46.66 %. Thus the drug proved
beneficial in all the symptoms of Manyagata Vata.

INTRODUCTION
Speed has become the keyword of present day life. Besides
this immense stress, unhealthy food habits, blindly following
of westernized life style has contributed in destruction of
quality of life considerably. The recent advantages in
biotechnology and molecular biology may provide success in
increasing the span of life but fail to improve the quality of
life. Increasing percentage of degenerative diseases like
Osteoarthritis, Diabetes, Hypertension, Ischemic Heart
diseases and Cerebro-vascular accidents in young individuals
is the best example to prove this point. Cervical spondylosis
is one of the most common diseases arising from change in
life style, increased travelling on vehicles, continuous sitting
and working on computers. Manyagata Vata disease shows
similarity with this cervical spondylosis which is the topic of
present study. It impairs the routine activities of man. It may
not lead to death but once occurred if not treated for
prolonged period it may give rise to permanent deformity and
many more complications. So right from the onset of the
disease proper management is very essential. There are
mainly two reasons described for vitiation of Vata in
Ayurvedic texts, viz., Margavarodha (Obstruction) and
Dhatukshaya (Degeneration).1 Manyagata Vata (cervical
spondylosis) being a degenerative disease comes under
Dhatukshayajanya Vataprakopa. Generalized Dhatukshya
especially Asthi dhatu kshya plays an important role in
Manyagata Vata. Asthi Dhatu is contributed by Prithvi and
Vayu Mahabhutas.2 Prithvi is responsible for stability,
solidity and strength of Asthi Dhatu while Vayu is
responsible for porous nature of Asthi Dhatu. With increasing
age, Vayu increases resulting into gradual loss of Prithvi
Mahabhuta, which makes the bone brittle in nature increasing
its susceptibility for osteoarthritis of cervical spine. The
patho-physiology of Manyagata Vata involves vitiation of
Vata Dosha. Rukshya and Chal guna of Vata are chiefly
involved in pathophysiology. Following points must be
considered in pathophysiology of Manyagata Vata as-
· Jatharagni Dushti
· Dhatvagni Dushti (Rasa, Rakta, Mansa and Asthi)
· Manya Sandhi Sthana Dushti
· Vata Vriddhi
· Dhatukshaya
The treatment of Manyagata must include reduction of pain
and inflammation along with correction of underlined
pathophysiology hence the treatment should aim on –
· Normal functioning of Jatharagni (Digestive fire)
· Improve the function of Dhatvagni (Micro-digestion)
· Medicines to provide strength to joints
· Correction of Dhatukshaya
Various single and compound herbal and herbo-mineral
preparations are mentioned in Ayurved texts for management
of Vatavyadhi. Guggulu is the most commonly used drug in
the treatment of Vatavyadhi (Guggulu having Snigdha,
Ushna guna which alleviates Vata and also reduces
inflammation). Trayodashang guggulu is mentioned in text
Chakradatta for management of Vata Vyadhi which is a
combination of 13 herbs viz. Aabha, Ashwgandha, Hapusha,
Guduchi, Vrudhadaruk, Shatavari, Gokshur, Rasna,
Shatapushpa, Karchoor, Ajawayan, Shunthi including
Guggulu processed in Cow Ghee.3 An attempt was made to

evaluated efficacy of Trayodashang Guggulu to assess its
effects in Manyagata Vata.
MATERIALS AND METHOD
Preparation of Trayodashang Guggulu
Guggulu Shodhana
For this stone, glass, bark etc which are common impurities
were first removed and then guggulu was broken into small
pieces. Thereafter it was tied in a piece of cloth and boiled in
Dola-yantra containing Triphala decoction. The boiling was
continued till guggulu becomes soft mass. It was then taken
out of the cloth and spread over smooth wooden board
smeared with ghee. Then it was dried in the place free from
dust. It was kept in glass jar free from moisture and heat and
is used for Trayodashang guggulu preparation.4

DISCUSSION
Though Manyagata Vata is included under the heading of
Vatavyadhi, its description is not available in all the classics
of Ayurveda. Charak had not mentioned specific etiological
factors, poorvarupa, roopa, Samprapti and chikitsa of this
disease. But the nidanpanchak and chikitsa described by him
in Vatavyadhi chapter of chikitsa sthan in general is
applicable to this Manyagata Vata as the vitiated Vata dosha
is the main causative factor in this disease.5 Manya Shoola is
the most prominent feature of this disease. The other signs
and symptoms include Manya Graha, Bhrama, Mansabala
Kshaya, etc. The incidence of this disease is increasing day
by day due to speed and changes in life style, increased
travelling, use of computers etc. Due to the pain in
Manyagata Vata, daily routine work is efficiently hampered.
Satisfactory relief from pain and other symptoms without or
with minimal side effects is the challenge that entire medical
fraternity is facing. Panacea for pain is the prime demand of
the patients of Manyagata Vata. As long term use of
analgesics manifest undesired effects, search for medicine in
indigenous system of medicine i.e. Ayurveda continues
Trayodashang guggulu is the combination of 13 herbs
mentioned in Chakradutta Vatavyadhi chikitsa. It has been
thoroughly studied with separate literary study of each drug
i.e. herb. Vata, Asthi, Sandhi and related organs are also
studied thoroughly with detailed references in all the
classics.3
The Findings of Clinical Study are discussed shortly as
follows
Starting from the etiology of this disease we found that the
major etiological factors which leads to this disease were
sheet guna sevana i.e. excessive work in cold water, air
conditioned offices, food preserved in refrigerators, cold
drinks, kind of work i.e. housewives doing excessive
domestic work, tailoring job, clerical job, increased traveling,
sitting in front of computers, irregular dietary habits etc.
physical as well as mental stress and strain causing vitiation
of Vata dosha. Thus, all these play an important role in the
generation of this disease.
Demographic Details of these Patients suggests the
following things
Age- Age wise distribution showed that the maximum no. of
patients i.e. 15 patients (50 %) were from age group 40-49
yrs followed by 7 patients (23.33 %) were of age group 50-60
yrs. This is because of in this age Vata Dosha in the body is
very dominant giving rise to degenerative changes in joints.
From this we can conclude that there is increasing incidence
of this disease in early forties as a result of speedy and
changes in life style.
Sex- There was 18 female patients and 12 male patients. This
is because the kind of work they doing i.e. domestic work,
sheet sevana and also were in post menopausal age group.
Occupation- The incidence of this disease was seen higher in
housewives i.e. 12 pts (40 %). This may be due to their
physical work, cleaning work in cold water, standing work in
Rathod H. S et al. Journal of Biological & Scientific Opinion · Volume 1 (2). 2013
Published by Moksha Publishing House. Website www.mokshaph.com · © All rights reserved. Page 69
kitchen platforms, sweeping, bending kind of work. Next
group i.e. 06 pts, because of their clerical job, sitting and
working on computers, uncomfortable positions in chairs.
Tailors also included due to their tailoring job etc.
Addiction- Maximum no. of patients was addicted to tea
i.e.15 patients (50 %) out of which maximum were
housewives. So this data is not significant for any definite
conclusion. Thus we can say that addiction does not play any
important role in genesis of disease.
Clinical Efficacy of Trayodashang Guggulu
In this trial, all the 30 patients were presented with the
symptom Manya Shoola. The percentage of relief for Manya
Shoola proved to be 50 %. Manya Graha improved by 46.66
%. The trial drug gave 43.33 % relief in Bhrama. Percentage
of relief in Mansabala Kshaya was 46.66 %. Thus the drug
proved beneficial in all the symptoms of Manyagata Vata.
Results of Drug (Trayodashang Guggulu)
After completion of 8 weeks of trial, 2 patients (6.66 %) had
got relief in their signs and symptoms while 4 patients (13.34
%) were cured i.e. 75 % relief. Next to it 46.67 % i.e. 14
patients showed markedly improvement while 7 patients
(23.33 %) showed improvement and 3 pts remained
unchanged, had not got relief at all.
Statistical Analysis of results of Trayodashang Guggulu
The clinical symptoms which showed significant
improvement excluding associated symptoms i.e. Manya
Shoola, Manya Graha, Bhrama, Mansabala Kshaya were
subjected to statistical evaluation. The statistical analysis
reveals that there is highly significant improvement in
symptoms i.e. Manya Shoola (P < 0.001 at t29) along with
this, other symptoms Manya Shoola, Manya Graha, Bhrama,
Mansabala Kshaya are also having highly significant
improvement (P < 0.001 at t29). In the light of these
observations it can be stated that the drug Trayodashang
Guggulu has shown excellent results in the disease
Manyagata Vata. From these results it can be concluded that
the Trayodashang Guggulu possesses highly potent Vata
shamana action (vedanashamak-analgesic) hence alleviates
Vata Dosha in Dhatukshayajanya Vatavyadhi Manyagata
Vata.
Probable Mode of Action of Drug
Chikitsa means nothing but the treatment given to
disintegrate or destroy the Samprapti or pathogenesis of the
disease. Generally Samprapti is found in the genesis of the
disease. Manyagata Vata is produced mainly due to Vata with
Agnimandya, Asthimajjavaha Strotodushti, Dhatukshaya like
symptoms with vitiation of Vata Dosha giving rise to
symptoms Manya Shoola, Manya Graha, Bhrama, Mansabala
Kshaya etc. For the disintegration of Samprapti of Manyagata
Vata, the drug must possess some essential properties like
Vata Shamaka, Vata Dushtihara, Agnivardhaka,
Dhatvagnivardhaka, strengthen the joints, Dhatuvardhan
along with Vedanashamak and Snehana actions. The drug
Trayodashanga Guggul is a combination of 13 herbs
including Guggulu processed in ghee. The constituents like
Shatavari, Ashwagandha, and Guduchi are known as
rejuvenators and provides strength to Dhatus. Shunthi and
Ajamoda improve Jatharagni whereas Babbul is especially
acting on Asthidhatwagni. Ghee with its yogavahi property
helps in better absorption and penetration of the drug. Thus,
Trayodashang guggulu directly impacts on the etiology of
Manyagata Vata and helps in the disintegration of the
Samprapti and settles down the vitiated Vata dosha.
According to the Ayurvedic principles Agnimandya always
creates anulom dhatukshaya and this ultimately produces
Vatavydhi. Being Vatavyadhi Agnimandya plays an
important role in Manyagata Vata. Agnimandya was
corrected by the Dipan- Pachan dravyas Shunthi, Ajawayan
and Shatapushpa. They were also act as Vatanulomaka,
Vatashamaka and Vedanasthapaka. In Manyagata Vata
Dhatukshaya rodhaka, Dhatuvaradhaka, Daurbalyanashaka
chikitsa was essential as Mansa and Asthi dhatu kshaya were
found with generalized weakness in dhatu, sandhis etc. The
drugs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Guduchi, Guggul,
Vriddhadaru, Babbul, Hapusha and Goghrit were act as
Balya, Rasayan, Vayasthapak which is very essential in
geriatric prone disease like Vatavyadhi (Osteoarthritis). In
Manyagata Vatavyadhi Vataprakopa, dhatukshinata, Dhatu
rukshata, Parushata, Asthidhatukshaya generally founds. The
contents of Trayodashang Guggulu were mainly Guru,
Snigdha gunatmak, Madhur rasa, Madhur vipaki and Ushna
viryatmak in properties, which corrects the above-mentioned
symptoms. Thus the contents of Trayodashang Guggulu
directly took part in the Samprapti vighatan by their
individual properties of each and every drug and as a whole
medicine.
CONCLUSION
The results of clinical trials proved that Trayodashang
Guggulu shown good results in treating Manyagata Vata.
This study had been done within a short span of time, the
sample size and duration of treatment was also not so big.
Besides this the drug was seen very effective. Another project
including large sample size and longer duration will be
required to clear its future role in Manyagata Vata. This study
was a sincere effort for bringing the drug stated by our
Acharyas as 'Mahaushadi of Vatavyadhi' in limelight but the
major part is still in dark light which the great challenge is. It
needs to do further study on this drug to establish its
analgesic action, Vatashaman action in other painful
conditions. On this conclusion the dissertation itself ends but
the quest for the betterment of the human beings never ends.
