Avarana(obstruction)is a condition where Vata(de vital)gets occluded by other Doshas and that Prakupita
vata(abnormal de vital) scatters those Doshas to different parts of body to cause diseases. So Vata is the prime

the same. Garlic has been used widely during the early ages in greek civilisations and properly recorded. The

body channels). The propery of Garlic has been proved by researches and act as a supporting evidence of our
