Considering the multitude of functions Vata performs and being involved in most of the disease manifestation, it is considered as the prime dosha – functional entity and vitiating factor. Vata is given high credentials in the understanding of physiology and pathology in Ayurveda and subsequently in planning therapy strategies too. Two clusters of Samprapti can lead to Vatavyadhi viz., Dhatu kshaya and Avarana. Before treating a disease, it is important to understand the disease condition thoroughly through its nidana, dosha, dushya, srotas involved and the Samprapti. Though many cases of Vatavyadhi can be understood under the umbrella of Avarana, many fail to recognize its presence due to multiple factors. This is an attempt made to elucidate the basic concepts of Avarana.
