ABSTRACT

Manyasthamba, as described in Ayurveda, holds renewed significance in the context of modern lifestyle patterns. Traditionally classified as a Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi, The Samprapthi attributed by Acharya Sushruta is Kapha-Avruta Vata, where it denotes stiffness in the Manya pradesha(Nape of the Neck). Manyagraha refers to contraction or spasm, whereas Manyasthamba signifies rigidity or immobility. Historically, it was associated with aging, overexertion, or exposure to cold. In contemporary society, prolonged screen exposure, sedentary habits, poor posture, and psychosomatic stress have emerged as key contributors, leading to cervical stiffness, pain, restricted mobility, and neurological symptoms. Anatomical correlates such as nerve root compression, loss of cervical curvature, intervertebral disc space reduction, and osteophyte formation are consistent with cervical spondylosis, a degenerative condition of rising prevalence. Anubhoota Yoga provides a holistic strategy to address these lifestyle-related musculoskeletal and neurological disorders by enhancing physical flexibility, strengthening immunity, reducing stress, and promoting overall mental and spiritual well-being. This article presents one such Anubhoota Yoga protocol for the management of Manyasthamba and associated neurological conditions. Assessing its effectiveness may offer an evidence-based framework for preventive and therapeutic interventions, bridging traditional Ayurvedic principles with modern lifestyle healthcare strategies. AIM: To Study the Effect of Capsule Care Neuro in the Disorder of Manyastambha.
