- In acute stage of aamavata where pain in the joints are intolerable, MVV used with with guda, shunti, and guggulu gives very good results. Ananda bhairava rasa is also used with MVV, for aamapachana and vedana shamana.
- In viral arthritis like chikungunya also the above combination is beneficial.
- In shirashoola due to clear vata prakopa, then MVV is drug of choice.
- If shira shoola is associated with pitta , suthashekhara is selected, and if it is associated with kapha , shwasa kuthara is better choice.
- In Trigeminal neuralgia, non inflammatory tooth ache, pain due to asthi bhagna, or any other conditions where predominance of vata is present MVV is best choice.
- In suthika roga , severe pain in shira, basti, koshta, and garbhashaya, MVV used with dashamularishta, eranda mula quatha gives good results.
- MVV is not used for longer duration as it increases heart beat, activates nerve endings or neurons. By long term use tingling and burning sensation in extremities , skin , face region is produced which can be overcome with pravala/ mukta/ kadali kanda swarasa, etc.
