===== Management of ''vata'' at different sites =====
Treatment of disorders of vata, when located in different sites, habitat (sthāna) is more important in comparison to the invaded (āgantu) dosha e.g in kōṣṭhagata vāta, kōṣṭha is given preference in treatment, and so kshara is used which helps in digestion (pāchana). But when vāta is located in pakvāśaya or guda which is vātasthāna, udāvartahara treatment is selected, which includes vāta anulomana, basti, varti etc. In āmashayagata vāta, shodhana in the form of vamana is done.

''Hridaya anna'' (favourite food) is typically indicated in ''tvakgata vata'' because, rūkṣatā in tvak is a result of rasakṣaya caused by overworrying.<ref>Agnivesha, Carakasamhita wtih Ayurveda Dipika commentry Vimanasthāna; 5/13; Dr.Gangasahay pandey (eds.) 6th ed.

Bahya snēhana in the form of abhyanga or dharā etc are very effective in asthi and majjāgata vāta. Ābhyantara snēhana replenishes meda dhātu and subsequently asthi and meda. It is worthy to note the utility of tikta ghrita in asthikṣaya.

In śukrakṣaya (depletion of shukra), harshana (pleasure) and vrishya annapāna (aphorodisiac diet) is very useful. <ref>Vagbhata, Astangahrdayam; Shareerasthānam 5/67; BhishagĀcharya Harisastri Paradikara Vaidya (eds.) 9th ed. Varanasi: Chaukhambha Orientalia; 2005. P798</ref>
