Abstract
Avarana is a unique concept in Ayurveda. Avarana is the path along which the pathogenesis of many diseases’ proceeds. There are many conditions which mimic Avarana. It is either unnamed or least diagnosed due to lack of knowledge. Pakshagatha, one among the Vatajananatmaja vikara, is considered Vatavyadhi or Mahavatavyadhi. It can either be due to kevala vataja, dosha samsrusta/margavarana or datukshayajanya. As the treatment principle is different for different types of pakshagatha, it is essential to understand the various types of pakshagatha. Pakshagatha can be correlated to monoplegia, hemiplegia, paraplegia, and quadriplegia, which result after stroke or CVA. Many kinds of Avarana vata are mentioned in Ayurvedic treatises based on Avruta and Avaraka. The present article attempts to understand the role of kaphavruta and medasavruta vata in the pathogenesis of pakshagatha.
