CONCEPT OF AVARANA & ITS CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS

Dr. Ravikumar Rathod* and Dr. Satya Deo Pandey

Abstract

Vatadosha is the gatyatmak dravya within the sharir. Hence its normal gati is hampered or vitiated, thus vata becomes avrutta. The route of vatadosha gets covered either by the other two doshas, any of the Saptadhatus or the Trimalas result in Avarana. One tiny proportion of vatadosha may also cause Avarana of the other. The individual fractions of vata like prana, udana etc. also may get affected by Avarana. Diagnosis of Avarana by Nidana, Purvaroopa, Rupa, Upashaya & Anupashaya. In most of the vatavyadhi we failed to identify the purvarupa as it is in avyakta avastha so here rupa play major role. Margavarana denotes pathological process likes Margavarana by Kapha or Pitta dosha Results in Rasavaha srotodushti and Rasadidhatukshaya at different sites of body. Margavarana by Kapha/Meda at limbs results in Peripheral vascular disease (Vatarakta) and Margavarana by Pitta/Rakta at limbs results in Vasculitis (Vatarakta). Clinical presentation of Avarana may be either Insidious or Sudden Depending on underlying cause. But, Clinical manifestation is always sudden. Vayu is life, strength, sustainer of the creatures, entire world, and master of all activities. Physician knowing the status of Dosha and Avarana never finds confusion in the treatment.
