<div style="text-align:justify;">

<p style="text-align:justify;">The chapter refers to vatashonita (or vatarakta), a condition caused by vitiated [[vata]] [[dosha]] and [[rakta dhatu]]. As the disease is caused by predominantly vitiated [[vata]] and [[rakta]], it follows [[Vatavyadhi Chikitsa]] (vatika disorder). The manifestations of ''vatashonita'' resemble various metabolic and connective tissue diseases like gout, inflammatory polyarthritis and vasculitis. This variation in manifestation depends upon degree of vitiation of [[dosha]] and [[dhatu]] in each individual of unique [[Prakriti]]. This reflects each patient’s unique disease requiring specific personalized treatment which is unique to Ayurvedic system of management. The chapter has description of etiological factors along with types of ''vatashonita, purvarupa'' (prodromal symptoms), ''rupa'' (clinical features) of different types, ''rupa'' of [[dosha]] predominance, ''upadrava'' (complication) ,''sadhya-asadhyatva'' (prognosis), treatment of different types of ''vatashonita'', precautions during treatment as well as symptomatic treatment for relief in non-curable state of disease.
