Autonomic Control of Heart: ‘VyÄna VÄtaâ€� is responsible for the forceful ejection of ‘Rasa-dhÄtuâ€� from the heart that later circulates all over the body to perform its function of providing nutrition (Caraka-saṃhitÄ CikitsÄsthÄna 15/36 and SuÅ›rutasaṃhitÄ NidÄnasthÄna 1/17).

The active site of ‘VyÄna VÄtaâ€� is Heart. It makes the circulation of blood possible by controlling the heart. VyÄna makes ‘Rasaâ€� (the intravascular fluid including plasma and lymph) to get forcefully ejected out of the heart and makes it circulate throughout the body (CarakasaṃhitÄ CikitsÄsthÄna 15/36). So, sympathetic and parasympathetic control of heart is indicated by ‘VyÄna VÄtaâ€�. Some authors have ascribed the functions of somatic nervous system also to‘VyÄna VÄtaâ€� as movements like flexion, extension, opening and closure of eyelids have been said to be under its control (CarakasaṃhitÄ CikitsÄsthÄna 28/9).
