Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

According to Sushruta, Shad Dharana Yoga is specifically indicated for Amashaya gata vata. Amashaya gata vata refers to the Vata dosha that affects the stomach (amashaya), leading to digestive disturbances. Shad Dharana Yoga is a therapeutic approach used for managing conditions related to Vata dosha, especially when it is localized in the stomach area.
- Pakvashaya gata vata refers to the involvement of Vata in the colon, which would require different management approaches.
- Basti gata vata refers to Vata in the rectum and lower abdomen, treated with Basti therapies.
- Shukra gata vata refers to the Vata affecting the reproductive tissues, which requires different interventions. Thus, the correct answer is (1) Amashaya gata vata.
