ABSTRACT
Vatavyadhi Chikitsa (treatment) deals with diseases particularly caused by Vata dosha. (base of body) Vatavyadhi in present era is the most prevalent disease. Now a days Vatavyadhi are mostly concerned with neurological system, musculoskeletal system, reticulo-endothelial system and further pervades to all other systems in the body. Vata is the only dosha which governs all the other entities of the body like Pitta, Kapha,(other doshas means base of body) and Dhatu (fundamental support of body) etc. Diseases caused by vata in its vitiated (imbalance) condition are called Vatavyadhi. So, it is important to know the formulations which are mentioned in Classical texts especially in Brihattrayi (collection of three books) in order to keep all the body functions in equilibrium.
