Abstract

Context: Prevalence of Anxiety Neurosis in modern era is increasing due to high levels of stress at work and personal
fronts. In the recent studies it has been found that Anxiety patients form 30% of total psychiatric patients and about 5%
of total population suffers from it. The present study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of Shirodhara Chikitsa, as it
acts on Manovaha Srotasa. Aims and Objectives: To assess the effect of Jatamansi Siddha Taila Shirodhara on Anxiety
neurosis by clinical trials. To find out the efficacy, dose, any side effects of Shirodhara. Settings and Design: Randomized
single blind control group study design was adopted. Materials and Methods: Total 60 patients of Anxiety Neurosis were
selected and divided into two groups of 30 patients each and given Shirodhara by Jatamansi siddha taila and TilaTaila.
Patients were evaluated with Hamilton's Anxiety Rating scale. Statistical Analysis Used: By using paired-t test and
unpaired-t test, reduction in Anxiety level was measured. Results: By giving Shirodhara with JatamansiSiddhaTaila for 14
days, we get promising results 73.33% in Anxiety Neurosis and no relapses were seen in a follow up of 6 months. No
significant results were found in group given Shirodhara with TilaTaila and also relapse was seen. No serious adverse
effects were found. Total 73.33% symptoms of Anxiety Neurosis patients were relieved. Conclusions: Shirodhara by
Jatamansi SiddhaTaila, proved to be good treatment modality in the view of long term relief of Anxiety Neurosis as it acts
by strengthening Manovaha srotasa and not just by suppressing vitiated Dosha.
