*There are one hundred and seven vital points called ''marma'' in the body which are junctures of body components and ''prana'' (life force) resides in them. Among the ten ''pranayatana'', three ''marma'' i.e., ''shira, hridaya'' and ''basti'' are important.

*If ''dosha'' affect these three ''marma'', they will have impact on the ''prana''. Hence their protection is crucial for preservation of health and management of disorders.

*''Udavarta'' means abnormal upward frequent movement of ''vata dosha''. Commonly this condition is caused by suppression of natural urges and ''vata'' aggravating factors. ''Udavarta'' hampers digestion and metabolism at micro channels. This leads to accumulation of the toxic elements to cause various diseases.
