Abstract	Vatarakta is a highly painful and debilitating condition, indulging in sedentary lifestyle. In this condition, Vata Dosha plays a dominant role, causing an imbalance that leads to intense joint pain, redness, and swelling. Vatarakta bears a close resemblance to gout in modern medicine, as both conditions share similar symptoms, particularly the severe, intermittent pain caused by the deposition of crystals in the joints. Gout, a metabolic disorder of purine metabolism, causes hyperuricemia and urate crystal formation, which leads to inflammation and discomfort. Shamana Chikitsa plays a central role in this approach, providing relief from pain while working to restore harmony within the body. In this case report a 42yr male patient of Vatarakta since 2 yrs visited to O.P.D, P.G. Department of Kayachikitsa Gurukul Campus Haridwar for treatment. He had complaints of bilateral elbow and ankle joint pain, swelling and stiffness. He had taken allopathic treatment for that but didn’t get relief, so she consulted to our hospital. The patient was treated with Navakarshika Kashaya for 45 days and patient got significant relief in signs and symptoms
