Abstract

Many Ayurveda Scholars have been implied many theories like Raktagata Vata, Raktavrita Vata, Siragata Vata and Shleshmavrita Vata to describe the basic of EHT, but no one has adopted the theory of Mishra Avarana, a concept of Charaka (Ch.Chi.28/232) which might have been left incomplete for intellectuals (Ch.Chi.28/217) to think over it in detail. In Raktapradoshaja Vikaras (Ch. Su. 24/11-16) the whole symptomatology of EHT e.g. Shirahashoola, Anidra, Bhrama, Akshiraga etc. are present. Hence Raktapradosha has been considered to be involved in the process. In some Anyonyavaranas the symptoms of EHT found, hence this concept also has been included in etiopathogenesis. Mainly Vyana, Prana and Udana these Vayus have found to be involved. Each and every Avarana represents different symptomatology of EHT. Thus, Raktapradosha and Avaranas along with Anyonyavaranas have been considered in unison to postulate the etiopathogenesis of EHT. Most of the EHT patients have the signs and symptoms of excessive Santarpana and some also have that of Apatarpana. In pathogenesis of all patients, the involvement of different Vata (Vyana, Udana and Prana), Rakta and Medasa is generally found. These factors are involved in pathogenesis in the sense of Avaraka, Avrita and Rakta as in impure form (Raktapradosha). Hence in the prescription of treatment, the considerations of all types of pathogenesis are essential
