The basics described includes the Tridosha concept among which Vata Dosha is given the prime importance as it is essential for smooth functioning of body and for maintaining structural integrity of body elements. The Acharayas have described types of Vatavyadhi as Dhatukshayajanya & Margavrodhajanya. The Chikitsa varies according the type of Vatavyadhi i.e.Shamana & Shodhana. Panchakarma is mentioned as Shodhana Chikitsa Prakara which involves various therapeutic procedures beneficial in eliminating vitiated Vata and other Dosha in body resulting in permanent relief and non-recurrence of Vatavyadhis.
