Avabahuka is identified as a disorder of the shoulder joint and is closely associated with frozen shoulder based on its characteristic signs and symptoms. Acharya Sushruta classified Avabahuka as a Vatavyadhi (a disease caused by Vata imbalance). Ayurveda offers various therapeutic approaches for its management. This article presents a case report highlighting the effectiveness of Prasarinyadi Kashaya and Karpasasthyadi Taila Nasya, as described in the Sahasrayoga text, in managing Avabahuka in routine clinical practice.
