Avascular Necrosis (AVN): Case Study (39 Year Male)
Orthopedic
The treatment followed the Ayurvedic principles of restoring circulation (Rakta Sanchar) and rejuvenating bone tissue (Asthi Dhatu) while pacifying vitiated Vata — the prime cause of degeneration. → complete reversal of early-stage Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Baseline Condition
A middle-aged businessman with an active professional and social life suddenly began experiencing pain in the right hip. Within a few days, his mobility was severely restricted, and every consultation with orthopedic specialists ended with a familiar list of prohibitions:
“Don’t stand for long. Don’t walk. Avoid stairs. Use a wheelchair. Plan for surgery — sooner or later.”
The diagnosis on MRI — Early AVN changes in the right femoral head — came as a shock. The patient was told there was no possibility of cure and that the disease would inevitably progress to collapse of the hip joint, leaving Total Hip Replacement (THR) as the only option.
Disheartened by these restrictions and lack of hope, Mr. Shukla approached Sukhayu Ayurved, Jaipur for a non-surgical, regenerative Ayurvedic alternative.
Panchakarma Protocols
- Tikta Ksheer Basti: Medicated milk-based enema to nourish the bone and marrow tissues (Asthi–Majja Dhatu) and improve microcirculation.

- Lepana: Local application of herbal pastes mixed with Kanjika/Ghritam and Tailam.

- Pind Swedana: To improve deep tissue blood supply and to strengthen muscules
- Nadee Swedana: For removal of toxins and improvement of blood supply
