Katigraha is one among the Nanatmaja Vatavikara and also found as a symptom in different diseases. Due to Nidanasevana, Vata gets aggravated, Shuddha and Saama Vata enters to Katipradesha producing symptoms like Ruja and Graha. Acharya Charaka has included Swedanakarma under Shadupakrama, where it is described as the principal method of treatment, and it alleviates Vata, Kapha and Vata-Kaphaja disorders. Swedana helps in expelling out sweat from the body by liquifying Dosha which spreads throughout. Among the Swedana procedures, Pinda Sweda which is having Snigdha, Ushna and Guru Guna help in pacifying the Vata Dosha and found to be more effective in this condition. Based on Guna of Dravyas used, Chinchalavana Sweda and Arkapatra Sweda are Snigdha-Rooksha in action, which can be applied in Vata-Kaphaja disorders effectively.
