Due to sanga (adhesion) property, vata dosha is responsible for formation all tissue elements, brings about compactness in all the tissue elements of the body and brings together different part of the body.  Vata dosha is the most important causative factor of diseases in shakha (peripheral tissue elements), koshtha (viscera of the thorax and abdomen), Marma (vital points and organs including joints), Urdhva (upper part of the body), sarvavayava (covering the entire body) and anga (individual part of the body).

Since medicated enema causes alleviation of this vata dosha in its basic habitat, others connected to vata dosha elsewhere in the body gets automatically alleviated.
