 Tail is main draya to pacify vata dosh, as described. Here we are using tail in the form of maatra basti.

 **2.** **TREATMENT REVIEW :**

**BASTI :**

Simply it is assume that due to self-etiology Vata gets vitiated and leads to Rakta dusti. Ultimately Rakta forms avarana in channels of Vata and both gets mutually vitiated.

Seats of Vata are mainly larger and smaller joints so; the joints are involved in this condition.

Treatment of Vatarakta described in various texts in mainly Basti Chikitsa.

न हि वसà¥à¤¤à¤¿à¤¸à¤®à¤‚ किंचिदवातरकà¥à¤¤à¤šà¤¿à¤•ितà¥à¤¸à¤¿à¤¤à¤®à¥ ।। (च. चि. २९**/**८८)4
