In all these disorders, the association of other dōṣha like pitta etc. is to be considered.  
 
The provocation of vāta is either due to ‘dhātukṣaya’, means diminution of tissue elements and/ or due to ‘āvarana’ means obstruction to its pathway. The vāta, pitta and kapha, always circulate through all the body channels. The vāta, owing to its quality of subtleness is really the impeller of the other two. When the vāta is provoked, it propels the other two doshas and dislodges them about here and there, causing various diseases. Due to ‘āvarana’ (obstruction in its path), it further causes diminution of the body nutrient fluid and other body elements. (59-61)
