1. Vatasonita (vātarakta) – Gout

द्विविधंवातशोणितमुत्तानमवगाढंचेत्येकेभाषन्ते;तत्तुनसम्यक्,तद्धिकुष्ठवदुत्तानंभूत्वाकालान्तरेणावगाढीभवति,तस्मान्नद्विविधम्।।३।।

In line with some authorities, Vatasonita / Vatarakta is of two varieties –

However that is incorrect. Vatasonitha first develops as Uttana – superficially and sooner or later of time will get transformed into Gambhira i.e. deep seated, identical to Kustha – pores and skin illnesses. Therefore, Vatasonita is just not of two varieties.

Nidāna samprāpti – trigger and pathogenesis

Etiological Components –

Pathogenesis –

Such a illness brought on by simultaneous vitiation of vata and rakta known as Vatarakta. This illness vatarakta first seems (will get positioned) within the arms and toes. Later it spreads to all the physique.
