Preface Tridoshas namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha are responsible for the existence of the body if present in equilibrium. On the contrary their imbalance is responsible for all the disorders which take place in our body. Of all the three Doshas Vata has been given utmost importance. Vata is the one responsible for majority of Vyadhis as described in Charaka Samhita in the context of Nanatamaja Vikara.

Joint disorders which have become very prevalent in today's era. In almost all joint disorders predominance of Vata is appreciated. Ancient scriptures have given priority in treating Vata in almost all joint disorders.
