द्विविधं वातशोणितमुत्तानमवगाढं चेत्येके भाषन्ते; तत्तु न सम्यक्, तद्धि कुष्ठवदुत्तानं भूत्वा कालान्तरेणावगाढीभवति, तस्मान्न द्विविधम् ||३||

sanskrit

Some say there are two kinds of Vata and blood disorders, namely those that are elevated and those that are deep-seated. However, this is not accurate; for, in due course, those elevated disorders become deep-seated, resembling skin diseases. Therefore, they should not be classified as two distinct types.

sanskrit

Vata-Rakta is characterized by strong Vata that, while affecting the warm and cold areas of the body, is caused by disturbed blood. Initially, it affects the position of the hands and feet and then spreads throughout the body. Its early symptoms include burning sensations, itching, swelling, stiffness, headaches, and muscle weakness. It suddenly causes deep disorders in the hands, soles, fingers, and ankles. In cases where there are insurmountable disorders, the signs are distinctly visible; those who are resistant to treatment have their symptoms elaborated upon; and if left untreated, they become disabled.
