Abstract

The role of Ayurveda is now globally recognized for the quality of life. It has both, the preventive and curative potentials. Panchakarma is one unique principle of Ayurveda which deals with detoxification of body and mind.

A male patient aged 67 years; known case of multiple myeloma approached Panchakarma unit having chief complaint of severe back ache due to burst fractures at D8, D12 and weakness.
