Lashuna (garlic, Allium sativum) holds a significant place in Ayurvedic medicine, particularly in the management of Vatavyadhi – a diverse group of disorders primarily caused by vitiated Vata dosha. This review explores the traditional Ayurvedic understanding of Lashuna's therapeutic utility, its mythological origins, and specific classical formulations (Lashuna Kalpanas) for Vatavyadhi. Furthermore, it integrates a modern pharmacological perspective, correlating the traditional claims with contemporary scientific evidence regarding garlic's anti-inflammatory, analgesic, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory properties. The article details the composition, administration, and indications of key Lashuna Kalpanas like Lashuna Kalpa, Lashuna Kshira Paka, and Rasona Sura, and discusses how modern research validates and expands upon these ancient insights, highlighting the potential for integrated approaches in managing Vata-related disorders.
