*Dosha dominance can be assessed by the desire to take cold or hot things. In vata-pitta dominant diseases, there is desire for cold things and in vata-kapha dominant diseases, there is desire for hot things.

*''Dosha'' dominance can be assessed by the desire to take cold or hot things. In ''vata-pitta'' dominant diseases, there is desire for cold things and in ''vata-kapha'' dominant diseases, there is desire for hot things.     
*Seasonal variations in temperature, environment can adversely affect the dosha balance leading to diseases originated from naturally vitiated dosha.

*As a seed remains dormant in the soil and germinates at a favourable time, similarly the doshas remain in dormant condition in the dhatu and get aggravated at a favourable time. These dosha gain strength at an apropriate time and when the power of the inhibiting (disease preventing) factors subsides, then disease occurs.

*The processes of vitiated dosha spread all over body after combining with the rasa ( first dhatu of nutrition), its effect of displacement of agni (hampering metabolism), obstruction of transport channels specifically sweat pores leading to increase in internal heat are important milestones in pathogenesis of jwara.
