Shotha (Edema) is a condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the body's tissues, leading to swelling in various parts of the body. In Ayurveda, Shotha is treated by addressing the underlying causes of the condition, such as an imbalance of the Kapha dosha, poor digestion, and lymphatic congestion. Ayurvedic practitioners use a combination of herbal remedies, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications to treat Shotha.

Ayurvedic treatment for Shotha includes herbal remedies such as Punarnava, Gokshura, and Varuna, which help to reduce inflammation, improve lymphatic circulation, and promote diuresis. Additionally, Ayurvedic practitioners recommend dietary changes, such as increasing consumption of warm, light, and dry foods, and avoiding heavy, oily, and cold foods. Panchakarma therapies, such as Abhyanga (massage), Swedana (steam therapy), and Basti (enema), may also be used to help reduce swelling and promote overall health and well-being.
