<p style="text-align:justify;">This chapter describes importance of three vital organs viz. ''hridaya'' (heart), ''shiras'' (head) and ''basti'' (urinary bladder) during purification procedures. The etio-pathogenesis of ''marma'' disorders are elaborated in detail with their management. The diseases include ''apatantraka'' (Opisthotomus), ''tandra'' (drowsiness) related to ''hridaya'' involvement, thirteen types of ''mutra dosha'' (diseases caused due to vitiation of urine), and diseases related to head viz. ''shankhaka'' (acute temporal headache ), ''ardhavabhedaka'' (one sided headache or migraine), ''suryavarta'' (headache that increases with sun rise) and ''anantavata'' (headache that starts from an area and then gradually involves the entire head and face). ''Uttara basti'' (per urethral and per vaginal drug delivery) as a treatment modality, its procedure of administration and dimensions of ''netra'' (nozzle) are discussed in detail for the management of urinary and reproductive systemic disorders.

[[Panchakarma]] and ''[[basti]]'' in particular can cause complications pertaining to ''marmas'' especially to the three vital points (''trimarma-hridaya, shiras'' and ''basti'') and successful treatment entails the proper administration of ''[[basti]]''. All marmas fall under the ''madhyama rogamarga'' (disease pathways including internal systems) [ Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 11/48], and their diseases are difficult to manage. ''[[Vata dosha]]'' is important in etio-pathology of any disease, because the it is responsible for movement of vitiated ''[[dosha]]s'' to other sites of disease (''roga marga''). ''[[Basti]]'' is the best treatment to alleviate ''[[vata]]'' and manage these diseases [Cha.Sa [[Siddhi Sthana]] 1/38-39]. Some diseases described in this chapter are not mentioned in the [[Trimarmiya Chikitsa]] chapter [Cha. Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 26] described earlier.
  
=== Abstract ===
+
''Uttara basti'' (per urethral and per vaginal drug delivery) is the third type of ''[[basti]]'' in the management of ''shukravaha srotas'' (reproductive system) and ''mutravaha srotas'' (urinary systems). This treatment modality to deliver drug in bladder in case of urinary system disorders and in uterus in case of uterine and reproductive system disorders is explained in detail. ''[[Nasya]]'' therapy (nasal errhines), its types and its importance in management of disorders of head is described further. Thus, the present chapter encompasses etio-pathology and medical management of all disorders related to heart, head and urinary system.

Hey Agnivesha! There are 107 ''marmas'' in this ''sharira'' situated in the ''skandha'' (trunk) and ''shakha'' (extremities or limbs). Trauma or pain occurring in these areas is much more intense as compared to other parts because of ''chetana'' (life) is bound to these sites.

The ''marmas'' related to ''skandha'' are more important than those situated in the ''shakha'' because the ''shakha'' is attached to the ''skandha'' and more so among the ''skandha'' situated ''marmas, hrid, basti'' and ''shiras'' are important owing to the fact that they are the root cause of body (on them depends the existence or otherwise of the body).[3]

In the ''hridaya'' (heart), are situated the ten ''dhamani'' (ten great vessels arising from the heart), ''prana, apana, manas'' (mind), ''buddhi'' (intellect), ''chetana'' (life), ''[[mahabhuta]]s'' (5 fundamental elements) just like spokes to the axle in the center of a wheel.

The ''basti'' (bladder) situated in the midst of ''sthula guda'' (rectum), ''mushka'' (scrotum), ''sevani'' (perineal raphe), ''nadis'' carrying ''[[mutra]]'' (urine) and ''[[shukra]]'' (semen) is the ''mutradhara'' (reservoir of urine) in to which drain all the ''ambuvaha srotas'', similar to the ''udadhi'' (sea/ ocean) into which drain all the rivers. Hence, the body may be described to be pervaded by innumerable ''srotas'' nourishing ''marmas'' similar to the sky which is pervaded by the rays of sunlight.

Among all the ''marmas, bheda'' (injury) to these 3 ''marmas'' (''hridaya, shiras'' and ''basti'') leads to sudden loss to the body. The destruction of substance (''ashraya'') leads to the destruction of the substrate. Its injury leads to severe disease manifestation. Hence, these should be especially protected against external injury and ''vatadi [[dosha]]s''.[5]

However, these ''marmas'' have to be protected especially from ''anila'' (''vata''), as ''vata'' is the prime factor or cause for the aggravation of ''pitta'' and ''kapha'' and also it is the cause of ''prana'' (life) and is best palliable by ''basti''. Hence, there is no treatment better than ''basti'' to maintain the ''marma''. Hereby, the six ''asthapana skandhas'' (decoction enemas) and also the two ''anuvasana skandhas'' described in [[Vimana Sthana]], as well as the ''bastis'' described in [[Siddhi Sthana]] with the treatment of ''vatavyadhi chikitsa'' may be rationally employed in the protection and restoration of the ''maha marmas'' (three great ''marmas'').[7]

In the ''hridaya, murdhna'' (head) and ''basti'' of individuals is situated the ''prana'' (life element) and hence attempts should be made to maintain ''paripalana'' (maintain normalcy) them. ''Abadhavarjana'' (avoidance of factors that cause affliction to ''marmas''), ''svasthavrittanuvartana'' (following the healthy regimen), ''utpannarti vighata'' (management of the existing conditions) ensures maintenance of ''marmas'' (''marma paripalana'').[9-10]

''Vata'' aggaravated by its own causative factors moves upwards from its ''sthana'' (site), reaching the ''hridaya'' produces pain or discomfort in ''hridaya'' (heart) and also in ''shira'' (head) and ''shankha'' (temporal area). It causes a bow-like bending of the body, ''akshipet'' (involuntary jerks) and ''mohayet'' (altered consciousness). (It causes involuntary bending or contractures and jerky movements and also obstruction to breathing). The person breathes out with difficulty, has spasm of eye movements or drooping, makes cooing sounds like a dove, becomes unconscious. The condition is called ''apatantraka''. Some authors call a variant of this condition as ''apatanaka'', in which there is fixity of eyes (gaze fixed) and grunting sounds from throat. When ''hridaya'' is free of ''doshas'' the person becomes healthy and becomes unconscious again when gets afflicted with ''doshas'' and is due to severe aggravation of ''vata''. [12-15]

The aggravated ''kapha vata doshas'' cause obstruction to ''shvasana'' (breathing) which should be cleared by ''tikshna pradhamana nasya'' (powder blowing into nostrils). This restores the ''sanjna'' (consciousness). ''Sirsha virechana'' (purification of head) should be given using very fine powder of ''maricha'' (black peper/Piper indicum), ''shigrubija'' (seeds of Moringa olifera), ''vidanga'' (Embelia ribes) and ''phaninjjaka'' (Marubaka- Origanum majorana). In ''hridgraha'' (stiffness or tightness in Heart) and ''apatantraka'' one should consume ''tumburu'' (Zanthoxylum alatum), ''abhaya'' (Terminalia chebula fruit), ''hingu'' (Asafoetida), ''pushkara'' (Inula racemosa), three types of ''lavana'' (''saindhava, sauvarcala'' and ''bida lavana'') with decoction of ''yava'' (Hordeum vulgare). Consume ''hingu'' (Asafoetida), a''mlavetasa'' (Garcinia pedunculata), ''sunthi'' (Zingiber officinale), with ''sauvarchala'' (sorchal salt) and ''dadima'' (juice of pomergranate/ Punica granatum) and employ treatment that alleviates ''vata kapha doshas'' and which cures ''hridroga'' (cardiac disorders). ''Tikshna shodhana basti'' (strong purificatory enemas) is totally unsuitable. ''Ghrita'' prepared by ''sauvarchala'' salt, ''abhaya'' (Terminalia chebula), ''vyosha'' (''pippali, maricha, sunthi'' i.e., Piper longum, Piper indicum and Zingiber officinale) is suitable. [16-20]

Due to consumption of ''anna'' (foods) that are ''madhura'' (sweet), ''snigdha'' (unctuous), ''guru'' (heavy to digest), ''chintana'' (excessive thinking), ''shrama'' (exertion), ''shoka'' (grief), ''vyadhyanushanga'' (chronicity of diseases), ''kapha'' aggravated by ''vata'' in association when gets lodged in ''hridaya'', obscures the process of ''jnana, tandra'' (drowsiness) occurs. The symptoms of ''tandra'' are ''hridaye vyakulibhava'' (uneasiness or discomfort in the region of heart), sluggishness of speech and physical activity, decreased acuity of the sense organs, clouding of mind and intellect. This condition should be managed by ''shodhana'' and ''shamana'' measures that are ''kaphahara, vyayama'' (exercise), ''raktamokshana'' (blood letting) and intake of foods that are predominantly ''katu'' (pungent) and ''tikta'' (bitter).[21-24]

Withholding the urge to urinate, causes ''vata'' to get obstructed in its normal pathway which causes ''udavarta'' (reversal of movements) and thereby the ''mutra'' fills up in the ''udara'' producing inconsistent pain, sense of indigestion, obstruction to the flow of ''mutra'' and ''vid''. This is called ''mutra jathara''. ''Mutra virechana chikitsa'' (diuresis) should be employed in this condition. ''Hingu dvirittara churna'' clears ''mutrodara'' (distension of abdomen due to urinary retention), ''anaha'' (simple distension due to indigestion or constipation), ''adhmana'' (distension with pain) of ''guda'' (anus) and ''medhra'' (phallum).

Due to indulgence in ''ushma'' (factors that increase the heat in the body), there will be ''mutra shosha'' (decrease in ''mutra''), ''raktapita mutra'' (reddish or yellowish urine), passed with difficulty (''krichchrat''), causing ''arti'' (pain) and ''daha'' (burning) in ''basti'' (urinary bladder) and ''upastha'' (genitalia). This is ''ushnavata''. [38]

Due to ''gatisanga'' (obstruction in the pathway) of ''mutra'' in the ''mutrasthana'' (''mutrasaya'') and ''mutramarga'' (''mutravaha srotas''), the ''viguna vayu'' (aggravated ''vata'') becomes ''udavratta'' (reflux or moves in opposite direction) and thereby ''bhagna'' (broken), ''vyaviddha'' (zigzag) or ''kundali'' (rotatory) in its pathway. It then affects the ''mutra'' with ''samstambha'' (stiffness or rigidity), ''bhanga'' (breaking pain), ''gaurava'' (heaviness), ''veshtana'' (twisting pain), ''tivraruk'' (severe pain) and ''mutravitsanga'' (retention of urine and feces). The condition is called ''vata kundalika''. [39-40]

Due to factors such as fast walking, fasting, exhaustion, injury and compression, the ''basti'' is displaced upwards giving the appearance of distended gravid uterus. The patient manifests with ''shula'' (severe pain), ''spandana'' (involuntary contractions or spasms) and ''daha'' (burning) and passes urine drop by drop. On straining there is streamed urine with ''samstambha'' (griping pain), ''udvestana'' (twisting pain) or ''arti'' (simple pain). The condition is called ''basti kundala'' and is similar to ''shastra'' (sharp weapon), ''visha'' (poison) in its action. The condition is dominant of ''vata'' and is incurable by the unintelligent.

When ''kapha'' obstructs the bladder neck or when ''pitta'' is severely aggravated it is incurable. If bladder neck is unobstructed, it is curable but not when there is circumgyration. When there is circumgyration in bladder it causes ''hrid moha'' (altered consciousness) and breathlessness. [44-48½]

''Pushpanetra'' (''uttara basti'' nozzle) used for ''uttara basti'' should be made of gold or silver, smooth, be similar to stalk of ''jati'' (Jasminum officinale), or ''asvahana'' (''Karavira''- Nerium odorum/ indicum) and like cow’s tail (tapering). It should be 12 ''angulas'' long, have two ridges (''dvikarna'') and ''sarshapachidra'' (permitting the passage of mustard seed). It fitted on to goats bladder, half ''pala'' (25ml) of ''sneha'' should be taken or the quantity of ''sneha'' should be judiciously calculated in consideration of the patient’s age.

The patient having bathed, taken food with ''mamsarasa'' or milk, after clearing the urges of urine and feces, seated erect comfortably on a soft seat of knee height, the erect penis probed with a ''shalaka'' (metallic probe) duly lubricated with ghee and if found to be unobstructed, then in accordance with the size of penis the enema nozzle should be introduced as per the procedure of ''gudabasti'' i.e., along the direction of perineal raphe. If it is excessively introduced it causes pain and if insufficiently introduced the ''snehana'' does not occur. After compressing the ''basti yantra'' (douche bag) without shaking and comfortably (without causing discomfort to the patient) the ''basti netra'' should be removed. In case, the ''basti'' medicine comes out, a second and even a third enema may be given. If it does not come out then it can be ignored for a night. [50-57]

The tip of ''varti'' should be of the size of ''sarshapa'' (seed of Brassica campestris) and the other end resembling ''masha'' (Phaseolus radiatus). In the ''mutranadi'' (urinary passage), it should be introduced like the ''bastinetra'' and in the ''payu'' (anal orifice) it should be of thickness upto 1 ''angushta''. When the ''sneha'' comes out, it should be followed by ''anuvasana basti vidhi'' (procedures mentioned in the after care of ''anuvasana basti''). The ''vyapat'' (complications), their management and symptoms of proper administration are also similar to ''anuvasana basti'' procedure.[58-61]

In women, ''uttarabasti'' should be administered during the menses as the vagina is then open and easily receives the ''sneha'' administered, thereby the ''vata'' being subdued it easily becomes impregnable. ''Uttarabasti'' with appropriate medicines should be administered in disorders of ''basti'' (Urinary bladder), prolapse of uterus, severe pain related to uterus, 20 diseases of uterus and vagina (described in Cha.Chi.30th chapter), menorrhagia-metrorrhagia conditions, retention of urine and dribbling incontinence.[62-64½]

The ''uttarabasti'' nozzle for females should be 10 ''angulas'' in length, circumference as equal to that of urethra and its inner lumen permitting a seed of ''mudga'' (whole green gram/ phaseolus mungo). It should be introduced to a length of 4 ''angulas'' in the genital tract and 2 ''angulas'' into urinary tract for adult females and 1 ''angula'' for ''bala'' (unmarried below 16 years of age). The lady lying down supine with thighs folded upon itself, should be introduced the nozzle comfortably in the direction parallel to the spine. Two, three or four unctuous enemas may be administered in a span of 24 hours. The ''varti'' (suppository) to be administered for elimination of ''basti'' medicament should be thicker than the enema nozzle. This ''uttarabasti'' should be done for three consecutive nights with gradual increase in the dose of unctuous medicament. The procedure should be likewise repeated after 3 days.[65-69½]

Here after shall be elaborated certain diseases of the head. The aggravated ''rakta, pitta'' and ''vata'' getting lodged in the ''shankhadesha'' (temporal area) produce a severe painful swelling with redness. It is acute in manifestation like poison and obstructs the channels of the head and neck, killing the patient in 3 nights. If the patient survives beyond these 3 days, then considering the condition as ''pratyakhyeya'' (incurable but manageable) one should administer treatment modalities such as ''shirovirecha'' (errhines), ''seka'' (affusions) etc., which are curative of ''visarpa'' (erysipelas like lesions).[70-73]

''Vata'' aggravated due to consumption of ''ruksha'' (dry/ ununctuous) substances, excessive quantity or frequent intake (''adhyashana''), easterly breeze, dew/snow, sexual intercourse, withholding of urges, exhaustion and exercise, either singly or along with ''kapha'', affecting either half of the head produces severe pain in neck, eyebrow, temples, ear, eye, forehead of one side. The condition is acutely severe like a sharp weapon or fire-log and is called ''ardhavabhedaka''. The condition when severe may impair the functions of an eye or an ear. The 4 ''snehas'' (''taila, ghrita, vasa'' and ''majja'') in the maximum dose, ''kayavirechana'' (purgation), ''sirovirechana'' (purificatory errhines), ''nadisweda'', 10  year old ghee, oil enemas, poultices, ''shirobasti'', cautery are advocated here. The management told for ''pratishyaya'' (rhinitis) and headaches as mentioned should also be employed appropriately. [74-78]

Witholding the urges, indigestion etc. leads to the vitiation of ''rakta'' and ''vata'' which in turn vitiate the ''mastishka'' (brain). Thus, affected by the vitiated ''rakta'' and ''vata'', at sunrise due to the heat of sunrays these slowly liquefy and thereby during the day there is headache which increases with the day. At the end of the day as they solidify, the headache subsides. The condition is called ''suryavarta'' and is managed by post-prandial ghee consumption, ''shirovireka'' (purificatory errhines), ''kayavireka'' (purgation), ''shiropichu'' (holding a gauze or piece of cotton soaked in medicated oil over the vertex) or ''shirobasti'' (holding medicated oil in a circular tank like formation over the head) with ''trisnehas'', poultices prepared with ''jangala mamsa'' (meat of animals living in dry lands), affusions with ghee and milk, ghee (''nasya'') errhines prepared out of ''ksheerapaka'' of ''barhi, tittiri, lava'' (birds that live on land) etc. and ''navana'' (unctuous errhines) with ghee processed with 8 parts milk and ''jeevaniya'' drugs (''jeevaka, jeevanti''- Leptadenia reticulata, ''rishabhaka, kakoli, kshirakakoli'' etc.).[79-83]

The three ''doshas'' aggravated due to fasting, severe grief, consumption of food which is ununctuous, cold and less in quantity, producing severe pain in ''manya'' (antero lateral part of neck) and then ''ghata'' (posterior part of neck). Later the pain localizes to the eye, eyebrow and temples, causes twitching in the cheek, diseases of the eye and stiffness of the jaw. The condition is called ''anantavata''.

Later the pain localizes to the eye, eyebrow and temples, causes twitching in the cheek, diseases of the eye and stiffness of the jaw. The condition is called ''anantavata''.  
It is treated by ''siravyadha'' (venesection) and medicines that cure ''suryavarta''. The ''vata'' aggravated by ''ruksha'' etc factors produces tremors of the head. In this condition ''amrita'' (Tinospora cordifolia), ''bala'' (Sida cordifolia), ''rasna'' (Pluchea lanceolata), ''mahashveta'' (Clitoria ternatea Linn.), ''ashvagandha'' (Withania sommifera) which are alleviators of ''vata'' should be used for oleation, fomentation and ''tarpana nasya'' (nourishing errhines) should be employed.[84-87]

''Nasya karma'' is said to be of 5 types- ''navana'' (unctuous errhines), ''avapida'' (expressed errhines), ''dhmapana'' (powder errhines), ''dhuma'' (smoke inhalation) and ''pratimarsha'' (low dose unctuous errhines). ''Navana'' (unctuous errhines) is of two types viz, ''snehana'' (oleating) and ''shodhana'' (purificatory). ''Avapida'' (Expressed errhine) is of two types-''shodhana'' (purificatory) and ''stambhana'' (astringent). Blowing of ''churna'' (powder errhine) is said to cleanse the body passages. ''Dhuma'' (smoke inhalation) is said to be of three types ie, ''shamana'' etc (palliative, oleating and purificatory) as mentioned before. ''Pratimarsha'' is an oleative type of errhine without any adverse effects whatsoever and serves both (oleation and purification). Hence, the above mentioned 5 types of errhines fall into 3 categories – ''rechana'' (purificatory), ''tarpana'' (nourishing) and ''samana'' (palliative). [89-92]

''Tarpana sneha [[nasya]]'' should be administered into the nostrils of a patient in the early morning or mid noon, who has attended to his ablutions lying down supine comfortably on a well spread couch, with head extended and the foot slightly raised. If the head is not lowered at all, the medication does not reach the head. If the head is excessively lowered the [[nasya]] medication may reach into the brain. Hence, a reclining patient for proper purification should be administered fomentation to the head. After proper fomentation, the tip of nose elevated with the thumb of left hand and with the right hand the unctuous errhine should be dropped into the nostril through a tube or gauze, equally into both the nostrils. After having done this, the head should be duly fomented and the instilled medicine should be repeatedly extracted along with the phlegmmatous discharge so that no medicine remains. (98-103½)

The mucus liquefied by the sudation, accumulated by the administration of errhine will get condensed back in the head due to the inherent coldness of the unctuous errhine which leads to diseases of ears, neck and throat. Hence, after the errhine therapy, one should take smoking which eliminates ''[[kapha]]'', consume wholesome diet, resort to breezeless, warm residence and observe self restraint.

Tarpana sneha nasya should be administered into the nostrils of a patient in the early morning or midnoon, who has attended to his ablutions lying down supine comfortably on a well spread couch, with head extended and the foot slightly raised. If the head is not lowered at all, the medication does not reach the head. If the head is excessively lowered the nasya medication may reach into the brain. Hence, a reclining patient for proper purification should be administered fomentation to the head. After proper fomentation, the tip of nose elevated with the thumb of left hand and with the right hand the unctuous errhine should be dropped into the nostril through a tube or gauze, equally into both the nostrils. After having done this, the head should be duly fomented and the instilled medicine should be repeatedly extracted along with the phlegmmatous discharge so that no medicine remains. (98-103½)
 
  
==== Dhumapana (medicated smoking) and post nasya therapy ====
+
The same procedure should be employed for administration of ''avapida [[nasya]]'' (expressed errhine). As regards ''pradhmapana'' (powder inhalation), the medicinal powder should be blown by mouth through a 6 ''Angula'' long tube. After purification of the head he should be made to drink hot water followed by predominant fluid diet which is light and not against the three ''[[dosha]]s'', and then made to reside in a breezeless place by vigilant physician. One who is purified off the ''[[dosha]]s'' if indulges in factors which cause ''[[dosha]]'' aggravation, the ''[[dosha]]s'' getting provoked move about in the body producing many diseases due to them. In these the wise physician should carry out treatments as mentioned and as appropriate for diseases arising due to untimely administration of errhine therapy. [104-110]

== Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles) ==

 +
*''Marmas'' are the vital junctions and organs in the body.
 +
*''Marmas'' are the site of ''chetana'' (vital power of life). Therefore, their diseases/injuries are more severe and need immediate attention in treatment.
 +
*The vital organs in trunk and abdomen are more important that those in extremities or at superficial level.
 +
*''Hridaya'' (heart including cardio-vascular system), ''basti'' (Urinary bladder including urinary system and kidneys) and ''shiras'' (head including sensory-motor nervous system) are important owing to the fact that they are the roots of body and the existence of life depends on them.
 +
*''Hridaya'' (heart) is the center for receiving the ten ''dhamani'' (ten great vessels arising from the heart), ''prana, apana, [[manas]]'' (mind), ''[[buddhi]]'' (intellect), ''chetana'' (life), ''[[mahabhuta]]s'' (5 fundamental elements) just like spokes to the axle in the center of a wheel.
 +
*''Shiras'' (head) is the centre for the ''[[indriya]]s'' (the seat of special senses), the ''srotas'' (channels) pertaining to the conduction of ''[[indriya]]'' and ''prana'' like the radiating spicules of the rays of sunlight.
 +
*The ''basti'' (bladder) is center that is related with the functions of ''sthula guda'' (rectum), ''mushka'' (scrotum), ''sevani'' (perineal raphe), urinary channels and ''[[shukra]]'' (semen). It is also the ''mutradhara'' (reservoir of urine) in to all the water carrying channels in the body drain, similar to all the rivers drain into the ''udadhi'' (sea/ ocean).
 +
*Injury to these three ''marmas'' (''hridaya, shiras'' and basti) leads to sudden loss to the life. Therefore these should be especially protected against external injury and ''vatadi [[dosha]]s''.
 +
*''[[Vata]]'' is the prime factor or cause for the aggravation of ''[[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' and also it is the cause of ''prana'' (life) and is best managed by ''[[basti]]''.
 +
*''Prana'' (life) is situated at ''hridaya'' (heart), ''murdhna'' (head) and ''[[basti]]'' (bladder and urinary system). Hence attempts should be made to maintain ''paripalana'' (maintain normalcy) them. ''Abadhavarjana'' (avoidance of factors that cause affliction to ''marmas''), ''svasthavrittanuvartana'' (following the healthy regimen), ''utpannarti vighata'' (management of the existing conditions) ensures maintenance of ''marmas'' (''marma paripalana'').
 +
*''Apatantraka'' (opisthotomus) disease is caused by ''[[kapha]]-[[vata]]'' dominance and it shall be managed by ''[[kapha]]-[[vata]]'' pacifying measures including ''tikshna pradhamana [[nasya]]'' (powder blowing into nostrils). Strong purification enemas are contraindicated in the treatment of ''apatantraka''. 
 +
*''Tandra'' (drowsiness) is caused due to vitiation of ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha dosha]]''. This condition should be managed by ''[[shodhana]]'' and ''shamana'' measures that are ''kaphahara, [[vyayama]]'' (exercise), ''[[raktamokshana]]'' (bloodletting) and intake of foods that are predominantly ''katu'' (pungent) and ''tikta'' (bitter).
 +
*The urinary disorder occur mainly due to suppression of urine urge, vitiation of ''[[dosha]]s'' in urine. These conditions should be treated based on dominance of ''[[dosha]]'' and by measures that relieve ''mutrakrichchra'' (dysuria), ''[[basti]]'' ( per rectal enemas) and ''uttara basti'' (per urethral enemas).
 +
*Improper diet and lifestyle habits are causative factors for various types of headaches. The ''[[dosha]]s'' with ''[[rakta]]'' are involved in the etio-pathology of head diseases.
 +
*Administration of four ''snehas'' (''taila, ghrita, vasa'' and ''majja'') in the maximum dose, ''Kaya[[virechana]]'' (purgation), ''shirovirechana'' (purificatory errhines), ''nadisweda'' ( fomentation), 10  year old ghee, oil enemas, poultices, ''shirobasti'', cautery are advocated in the management of head diseases.
 +
*The disorders of head and organs in the supra-clavicular region can be managed by ''[[nasya]] karma'' (errhines). Nasal drug administration is the gateway of head, the medicines administered thereby pervade into the head and cures diseases pertaining to the head.
 +
*In ''[[kapha]]'' dominant diseases of head with obstructive pathology, ''[[nasya]]'' (nasal errhines) of purificatory type are advised.
 +
*In ''[[vata]]'' dominant diseases of head with degenerative pathology, ''[[nasya]]'' (nasal errhines) of nourishing type are advised.
 +
*In ''[[pitta]]'' dominant diseases of head with hemorrhagic pathology, ''[[nasya]]'' (nasal errhines) of palliative type are advised.

• Marmas are the vital junctions and organs in the body.
+
The concept of ''marma'' described in [[Ayurveda]] texts differs with those described in ''Keraliya Marma Chikitsa'' (''Kalari Marma'') and the Tamilian ''marma'' concept. The numbers and positions also vary greatly. The Keraliyan ''marma'' concept seems to be more related to warfare medicine and the management of trauma while the tamilian ''marma'' concept is more so as described in [[Ayurveda]] related to ''kshata'' as well well as ''doshaja aghata''. [[Ayurveda]] believes that suppression of urges, over enthusiastic activities, strainful activities, faulty treatment practices can actually cause ''doshaja marmaghata''.
• Marmas are the site of chetana (vital power of life). Therefore, their diseases/injuries are more severe and need immediate attention in treatment.
 
• The vital organs in trunk and abdomen are more important that those in extremities or at superficial level.
 
• Hridaya (heart including cardio-vascular system), basti (Urinary bladder including urinary system and kidneys) and shiras (Head including sensory-motor nervous system) are important owing to the fact that they are the roots of body and the existence of life depends on them.
 
• Hridaya (heart) is the centre for receiving the ten dhamani (ten great vessels arising from the heart), prana, apana, manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), chetana (life), mahabhutas (5 fundamental elements) just like spokes to the axle in the centre of a wheel.  
 
• Shiras (head) is the centre for the indriyas (the seat of special senses), the srotas (channels) pertaining to the conduction of indriya and prana like the radiating spicules of the rays of sunlight.
 
The basti (bladder) is centre that is related with the functions of sthula guda (rectum), mushka (scrotum), sevani (perineal raphe), urinary channels and shukra (semen). It is also the mutradhara (reservoir of urine) in to all the water carrying channels in the body drain, similar to all the rivers drain into the udadhi (sea/ ocean).  
 
• Injury to these three marmas (hridaya, shiras  and basti) leads to sudden loss to the life. Therefore these should be especially protected against external injury and vatadi doshas.

Clinical conditions like paralysis, paresis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, haemorrhage can be understood on Ayurvedic lines by taking clue from here. When it takes place at ''shirasthana'' above mentioned conditions can manifest. They need to be treated on the lines of treatment of ''marmaghata'' rather than only treating them as ''vatavyadhi''.

The clinical presentations described to occur under the affection of three ''marmas'' are almost practically found in relation to ''[[dosha]]'' aggravations affecting the ''marmas'' and also in case of their injury. Some symptoms are due to direct organ damage and others due to reflex neurological or hormonal disturbances.

Vata is considered to be cause of provocation of pitta and kapha. In the process of disease formation direct reference of involvement of vata as early as in the stage of prasara (third out of six stages of disease formation) vata is also said to be cause of life to underline its importance as well as the need to address it urgently. Amongst all the treatments of vata, basti is the best purely on its merits to take care of vata disorders of all the systems throughout the body.

The drug hingu (asafoetida) has been found to be effective as a vatanulomaka, pachana, amahara, and sulaghna. It is also widely used in udavarta conditions, to relieve functional spasms of smooth muscles as in intestinal colic. Hingu vacadi churna is specifically used for such conditions. Clinical conditions related to Trimarma are alarmingly high today. By effecting subtle changes in life style in accordance with classical guidelines will help to reduce life risk to great extent. Preventing the injury to vital organs and timely appropriate management in case of diseases is the key to prevention of diseases and promotion of health.

The drug ''hingu'' (asafoetida) has been found to be effective as a ''vatanulomaka, [[pachana]], amahara,'' and ''sulaghna''.

Apatantraka(opisthotomus) is due to obstruction of kapha to vata,  apatanaka(status epilepticus)  is only due to vata.
 
Based on the descriptions of the condition involving the heart which is the manasa sthana and the involvement of head as well, with clinical manifestations like unconsciousness with flexion spasms or bending of the body, which is temporary, this condition may be considered as a form of Syncope.
 
Treatment schedule for apatantraka starts with tikshna pradhamana as prana vilomatva has to be corrected to maintain the life of the patient. Second in line is shirovirechana, as vitiated vata  creates pain in sirah and shankha by taking upward course. Then treatment for pacification of vata kapha in hrdroga is applied to take care of hridaya, as vata also occupies hridaya when does upward direction. Further basti would have been an ideal option to take vata into its own site and pacify it, but it should not be strong, it is to be given in lesser quantity. Involvement of hridaya in pathogenesis might have prompted this thought, as strong basti might cause dehydration due to excess elimination leading to fatal condition of hridaya.
 
Fine powders of shirovirechana medicines can clear obstructive pathology faster and hence are preferred. Maricha which is pramathi i.e., with its potency drags the doshas out of srotasas (channels) and removes them from the system. Other medicines shigrubija, vidanga are known for their shirovirechana activity.
 
Vata and kapha are both considered as causative factors for the onset of tandra. Vata agitates kapha, which in turn occupies hridaya. The knowledge process gets blocked leading to tandra. Treatment aims at eliminating and pacifying kapha. Vyayama and diet of pungent and bitter tastes which acts against kapha are suitable. The unusual reference of blood letting can be attributed to involvement of hridaya, which is an organ made up of purest form of rakta.
 
  
The factors that bring about physical and mental exertion with foods that prolong the digestion or are heavy for digestion bring about an aggravation of kapha with vata and tamo guna thereby producing tandra (drowsiness). Hence, all medicines that help to clear the avarana of manas by these doshas may be employed, especially so teekshna pradhamana nasya.

The mutravaha srotovikaras have been broadly classified into mutra atipravrittija (excess urination) and mutra apravrittija (less urination) vikaras by Vagbhata (A.H.Ni.9/40). The former includes twenty varities of prameha and the latter includes two categories of disorders – 8 types of mutrakrcchra (dysuria) and 12 types mutraghata (urinary disorders), though both the set of disorders are described under the title mutraghata. Under mutraghata, bastikundala (circular distension of bladder) is not described.

The ''mutravaha srotovikaras'' have been broadly classified into ''mutra atipravrittija'' (excess urination) and ''mutra apravrittija'' (less urination) ''vikaras'' by Vagbhata (A.H.Ni.9/40). The former includes twenty varieties of ''prameha'' and the latter includes two categories of disorders – 8 types of ''mutrakrichchra'' (dysuria) and 12 types ''mutraghata'' (urinary disorders), though both the set of disorders are described under the title ''mutraghata''. Under ''mutraghata, bastikundala'' (circular distension of bladder) is not described.
 +
 
 +
In general terms though we find that ''mutraghata'' is described as condition with suppression or less production of urine and ''mutrakrichchra'' as dysuria, not all conditions described under ''mutraghata'' are characterized by oliguria or reduced output.
 +
 
 +
Most of the conditions seem to occur predominantly by retention of urine or bladder distension. ''Mutrasaada, mutraukasaada'' and ''ushnavata'' may be considered as scanty urination or oliguria; ''Mutrakshaya'' may be equated to oliguria or anuria.
 +
 
 +
''Mutrakrichchra'' is a condition of dysuria due to spermorrhoea. Others like ''vatabasti, mutratita, mutrajathara'' seem to occur due to voluntary withholding of the urge of micturition resulting in physiological bladder atony as in mutratita or retention with pain as in ''vatabasti'' and atonied distended bladder in ''mutrajathara'' all progressive conditions of the same pathological process.
 +
 
 +
''Bastikundala'' also seems to be a condition of bladder atony but with superadded cystitis due to severe physical stress and states of dehydration. In ''vatashthila'' and ''mutragranthi'' there seems to be an obvious anatomical growth which causes obstruction to the urine pathway which may be considered as prostatomegaly and vesicle tumors respectively. The condition of ''vatakundalika'', though from the ''Nidana'' seems to be similar to the conditions of withholding the urge of urination, due to the symptoms seems more or less like urethral stricture. ''Mutrotsanga'' seems to be a condition of acute urethritis or cystitis where there is stranguary, dysuria, hesitancy and sometimes blood in urine. ''Mutrakshaya'' more or less seems like anuria or oliguria due to dehydration. ''Vidvighata'' clearly seems a case of recto vesicle or rectourethral fistula. 
 +
 
 +
Susruta describes ''pittaja'' and ''kaphaja'' types of ''mutraukasada'' (dense urine) as two different conditions. In ''pittaja mutraukasada'' he describes that on drying, the urine resembles ''gorochana churna'' (powder of a stone or 'bezoar' found in cattle) and in case of ''kaphaja'' variety, on drying the urine becomes like ''shankha churna'' (powder of conch shell).
 +
 
 +
Due to holding of natural urges, obstruction to the downward movement of ''[[vata]]'' makes ''vata gati'' in to upward and circular, manifesting in to severe condition called ''mutrajathara'' (accumulation of urine in abdominal cavity). Along with symptoms like retention of urine and stool, indigestion is also one of the symptoms.

Based on the descriptions, the condition seems to be a neurological disturbance of bladder function due to repeated withholding the urge of micturition.
 
Based on the descriptions, the condition seems to be a neurological disturbance of bladder function due to repeated withholding the urge of micturition.
All the above mentioned mutradoshas are in accordance with the nidanas described under Ca.Vi.5/20 ie, drinking water, consuming food, indulging in sexual intercourse when one feels the urge to micturate and withholding the urge of micturition especially in an emaciated or traumatized individual. 
 
The condition mutratita seems to be a physiological atony of bladder owing to prolonged withholding the urge to micturate, thereby the bladder contractions wean away and paves the way for atony. Recurrent withholding the urge may result in pathological atony as well as neurological disturbances in bladder function due to disturbances in the balance between symapathetic and parasympathetic functions. This concept may be practically found in patients of diabetes mellitus with recurrent urinary tract infections (cystitis), wherein USG reveals significant residual urine in bladder due to bladder atony. Such patients are immensely benefited by toilet training ie, developing a habit of regular micturition at timely intervals which in due course reduces the incidence of recurrent urinary tract infections  and in due course significantly reduces the residual urine, possibly improving the bladder tone and nervous integrity.
 
The role of basti chikitsa and specifically uttarabasti in the management of apana vata vikrti and also sthana dushti (local vitiation) has been highlighted in the classical texts.
 
  
The drugs having mutrala (mutravirecaneeya and mutravirajaneeya) actions are all useful in the above mentioned mutradoshas. The mutravirajaneeya, mutravirecaneeya gana dravyas(Ca.Su.4/15 ) are very helpful.

All the above mentioned ''[[mutra]]doshas'' are in accordance with the ''nidanas'' described under Ca.Vi.5/20 ie, drinking water, consuming food, indulging in sexual intercourse when one feels the urge to micturate and withholding the urge of micturition especially in an emaciated or traumatized individual. 
The descriptions of the procedure with materials or equipments used thereby are clearly stated in the texts. Gold and silver are metals considered to be soft and malleable. The uttarabasti nozzle prepared out of these are specially suited for introducing into urethra as it is extremely vulnerable to trauma during the procedure which can be minimized by these metals. Primarily the chance of injury is due to the fact that male urethra is curved (‘S’ shaped) and straightened slightly when the penis is erect. Nevertheless, when fully straight there is a increased chance of trauma. Further these metals have a protective effect on the body.
+
 
In clinical practice, simple rubber catheters no. 6 or 7 may be used for the procedure after sterilization by autoclaving and so should be the medicine used for uttarabasti. With due aseptic precautions, the procedure should be carried out in a fumigated room preferably like an O.T. procedure which reduces the likely chances of U.T.I. Nevertheless, in the outcome the chances of asymptomatic pyuria or abacteriuric pyuria are always there. These possibly can be minimized with the use of filtered medicaments (so as to ensure no particles), priorly autoclaved and administered with nozzle of gold or silver. Though the classical position of the patient is seating, lying down position is equally easy and the patient may be made to feel more comfortable. An hour after the procedure, the patient should be instructed to consume plenty of oral fluids to maintain a high urine output. The patients comfortably retain the medicament for 2-4 hours. The procedure may be done daily for 8 days after an initial gudagata asthapana basti. The procedure is done after asking the patient to evacuate the bladder and bowel.

The condition ''mutratita'' seems to be a physiological atony of bladder owing to prolonged withholding the urge to micturate, thereby the bladder contractions wean away and paves the way for atony. Recurrent withholding the urge may result in pathological atony as well as neurological disturbances in bladder function due to disturbances in the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic functions. This concept may be practically found in patients of diabetes mellitus with recurrent urinary tract infections (cystitis), wherein USG reveals significant residual urine in bladder due to bladder atony. Such patients are immensely benefited by toilet training ie, developing a habit of regular micturition at timely intervals which in due course reduces the incidence of recurrent urinary tract infections  and in due course significantly reduces the residual urine, possibly improving the bladder tone and nervous integrity.
The drugs described are mostly ushna veerya, vatanulomana and hence are highly beneficial in clearing the avarodha(obstruction) of aushadha.

The indication of administration of varti into gudamarga as well, probably indicates that some reflex mechanisms are involved in the evacuation of bladder in case of retained medicament. This in the classical description may be explained as causing apanavatanulomana.

The ''uttarabasti'' nozzle prepared out of these are specially suited for introducing into urethra as it is extremely vulnerable to trauma during the procedure which can be minimized by these metals. Primarily the chance of injury is due to the fact that male urethra is curved (‘S’ shaped) and straightened slightly when the penis is erect. Nevertheless, when fully straight there is a increased chance of trauma. Further these metals have a protective effect on the body.

 +
In clinical practice, simple rubber catheters no. 6 or 7 may be used for the procedure after sterilization by autoclaving and so should be the medicine used for ''uttarabasti''. With due aseptic precautions, the procedure should be carried out in a fumigated room preferably like an O.T. procedure which reduces the likely chances of U.T.I. Nevertheless, in the outcome the chances of asymptomatic pyuria or abacteriuric pyuria are always there. These possibly can be minimized with the use of filtered medicament (so as to ensure no particles), pre-autoclaved and administered with nozzle of gold or silver. Though the classical position of the patient is seating, lying down position is equally easy and the patient may be made to feel more comfortable. An hour after the procedure, the patient should be instructed to consume plenty of oral fluids to maintain a high urine output. The patients comfortably retain the medicament for 2-4 hours. The procedure may be done daily for 8 days after an initial ''gudagata asthapana basti''. The procedure is done after asking the patient to evacuate the bladder and bowel.  
 +
 
 +
The drugs described are mostly ''ushna veerya, vatanulomana'' and hence are highly beneficial in clearing the ''avarodha''(obstruction) of ''aushadha''.
 +
 
 +
The indication of administration of ''varti'' into ''gudamarga'' as well, probably indicates that some reflex mechanisms are involved in the evacuation of bladder in case of retained medicament. This in the classical description may be explained as causing ''apanavatanulomana''.
 +
 
 +
The modern gynecological texts describe per vaginal investigative procedures to be carried out soon after the menses after the stoppage of bleeding. In practice, it’s the ideal time for the ''uttarabasti'' as it’s the time wherein this is naturally open to shed the endometrium which almost closes by the period of ovulation. Further, not only do the medicament enter the uterus with ease but also it acts at a time ideal for it to receive the sperms as well as provides a conducive environment for implantation of fertilized ovum maximizing the chances to conceive.
 +
 
 +
Vitiated ''[[rakta]], [[pitta]]'' and ''[[vata]]'' takes course of ''shirah''(head), especially ''shankha'' (temporal region), a ''marma'' of the type ''sadyahpranahara'' (acute life threatening), making the condition incurable. Involvement of ''[[rakta dhatu]]'' in diseases of ''shirah'' is appreciated by Charaka in [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 17/11] ''[[Pitta]]'' dominating symptoms like ''daha'' (burning sensation), ''raga'' (redness) and vitiation of ''[[rakta dhatu]]'' brings in treatment of ''visarpa'' in to picture, as it also has both these entities vitiated.
 +
 
 +
The consideration of ''shankhaka'' as ''pratyakhyeya vyadhi'' and the initiation of treatment in case of survival probably indicates the fact that there could be residual symptoms needing effective management and also that there is a likely chance of recurrence.
 +
 
 +
Pathogenesis of the disease indicates two different ways of vitiation of ''[[dosha]], [[vata]]'' and ''[[vata]][[kapha]]''. Further treatment can also be understood on this basis. Use of ''Chatusneha'' (all four ''snehas  ghrita, taila, vasa, majja''), procedures like ''shirobasti, anuvasanabasti,'' aimed at pacifying ''[[vata]]'' while more aggresive treatments like ''shirovirechana, [[virechana]],'' use of 10 year old ghee, ''upanaha'' (poultice), ''dahana'' (cautery) are useful in ''[[vata]][[kapha]]'' dominating condition.
 +
 
 +
From the descriptions, it appears that this condition could possibly be migraine. The possible triggering factors such as sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion, mental factors such as anxiety, stress etc, may all be understood under the ''nidanas'' described in the classics. The location of pain is also similar. The severity of pain and the disturbances of vision and audition are all classical being found in the stage of aura and may even associate with the proper stage. 
 +
 
 +
Treatment is aimed at elimination of ''[[dosha]]'' initially followed by pacification of them by various means. Three ''sneha'' viz, ''taila, ghrita, vasa'' to be used in ''murdha taila'' form (holding these materials on head). Here ''majja'' is excluded as it is ''gurutara'' (most heavy amongst ''snehas''). ''Seka''(effusion) in the form of ''ghrita'', milk will help in pacifying ''[[vata]]'' by acting as ''[[brimhana]]'' (nourishment), at the same time ''[[rakta]]prasadana'' (pacifying the impurities in blood) is achieved. ''[[Nasya]]'' with ''jeevaniya ghrita'' is also to pacify ''[[vata]]'' and to account for ''[[rakta]]prasadana''.
 +
 
 +
In Bhavaprakasa Nighantu, due to non availability, ''pratinidhi'' (substitutes) have been described for ''ashtha varga'' (group of eight vitalizer herbs) drugs like ''vidarikanda'' (Pueraria tuberosa) for ''jeevaka'' and ''rshabhaka, ashvagandha'' (Withania somnifera) for ''kakoli'' and ''kshirakakoli, varahikanda'' (Dioscorea bulbifera) for ''riddhi'' and ''vriddhi, shatavari'' (Asparagus racemosus) for ''meda'' and ''mahameda''.
 +
 
 +
The description of the incidence and timing of the symptoms point to the condition of frontal sinusitis which usually starts as a dull headache in the morning that increases in severity as the day progresses. Occasionally it may be relieved by sleep or sometimes not which depends on the relative dominance of ''[[rakta]]'' and ''[[vata]]''.
 +
 
 +
As the condition is purely ''[[vata]]'' dominant, all the treatments described for ''suryavarta'' such as ''ghritapana, ghrita [[nasya]], siropichu, sirobasti'' are all beneficial. If the condition is associated with ''[[rakta]]vrita [[vata]], siravyadha'' is utmost beneficial. This condition may be possibly correlated with Trigeminal neuralgia, based on the location of pain. ''Siravyadha'' at the temporal area is of utmost benefit in neuralgic headaches.
 +
 
 +
It is uncontroversial that nose is the gateway of head as all the authors of ''brihattrayis'' and ''laghutrayis'' have shared the importance of ''[[nasya]]karma'' in ''shirorogas''.
 +
 
 +
Though the exact mode of action of ''[[nasya]]'' is not studied some hypotheses have been put forward by the scholars of [[Ayurveda]]. One of them is that the medicament directly penetrates into the brain, as fat soluble substances can easily diffuse through the cribriform plate of ethmoid bone (which forms the roof of the nasal cavity) which is porous and owing to the location of olfactory bulbs the medicament can percolate along the fibers of olfactory nerve. The second most agreeable hypothesis is the receptor theory, which believes stimulation of certain brain centers through specific receptors situated in the nasal cavity. The administration of posterior pituitary extract into nostrils by means of sprays, practically and successfully followed in diabetes insipidus is a proof sufficient that through suitable formulation, medicament may be made to act on the brain.

It is clearly described that ''sneha [[nasya]]'' should be done in ''[[vata]]'' aggravation and ''ruksha [[nasya]]'' should be done in ''kaphaja'' diseases. If this indication is ignored the complications that may follow and the measures to tackle them is described in the above verses.
  
Vitiated rakta, pitta and vata takes course of shirah(head), especially shankha (temporal region), a marma of the type sadyahpranahara (acute life threatening), making the condition incurable. Involvement of raktadhatu in diseases of shirah is appreciated by Carakacarya in Ca. Su. 17/11. Pitta dominating symptoms like daha (burning sensation), raga (redness) and vitiation of raktadhatu brings in treatment of visarpa in to picture, as it also has both these entities vitiated.
+
In Ashtanga Hridaya, ten specific timings suitable for administration of ''pratimarsha'' have been described.
The consideration of shankhaka as pratyakhyeya vyadhi and the initiation of treatment in case of survival probably indicates the fact that there could be residual symptoms needing effective management and also that there is a likely chance of recurrence.
 
Pathogenesis of the disease indicates two different ways of vitiation of dosha, vata and vatakapha. Further treatment can also be understood on this basis. Use of Chatusneha (all 4 snehas ghrita, taila, vasa, majja), procedures like shirobasti, anuvasanabasti, aimed at pacifying vata while more aggresive treatments like shirovirechana, virechana, use of 10 year old ghee, upanaha (poultice), dahana (cautery) are useful in vatakapha dominating condition.
 
  
From the descriptions, it appears that this condition could possibly be Migraine. The possible triggering factors such as sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion, mental factors such as anxiety, stress etc, may all be understood under the nidanas described in the classics. The location of pain is also similar. The severity of pain and the disturbances of vision and audition are all classical being found in the stage of aura and may even associate with the proper stage. 
+
In practice, especially in conditions of migraine, allergic rhinitis and atopic rhinitis we advise patients to smear medicated oil or ghee into the nostrils using an oleated finger. This may be considered a form of ''pratimarsha'' itself.
Treatment is aimed at elimination of dosha initially followed by pacification of them by various means. Three  sneha viz, taila, ghrita, vasa to be used in murdha taila form (holding these materials on head). Here majja is excluded as it is gurutara (most heavy amongst snehas). Seka(effusion) in the form of ghrita, milk will help in pacifying vata by acting as brumhana (nourishment), at the same time raktaprasadana (pacifying the impurities in blood) is achieved. Nasya with jeevaniya ghrita is also to pacify vata and to account for raktaprasadana.
 
In Bhavaprakasa Nighantu, due to non availability pratinidhi (substitutes) are described for ashtha varga (group of eight vitalizer herbs) drugs like vidarikanda (Pueraria tuberosa) for Jeevaka and rshabhaka, ashvagandha (Withania somnifera) for kakoli and kshirakakoli, varahikanda (Dioscorea bulbifera) for riddhi and vriddhi, shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) for meda and mahameda.
 
The description of the incidence and timing of the symptoms point to the condition of frontal sinusitis which usually starts as a dull headache in the morning that increases in severity as the day progresses. Occasionally it may be relieved by sleep or sometimes not which depends on the relative dominance of rakta and vata.
 
As the condition is purely vata dominant, all the treatments described for suryavarta such as ghritapana, ghrita nasya, siropicu, sirobasti are all beneficial. If the condition is associated with raktavrita vata, siravyadha is utmost beneficial. This condition may be possibly correlated with Trigeminal neuralgia, based on the location of pain. Siravyadha at the temporal area is of utmost benefit in neuralgic headaches.
 
It is uncontroversial that nose is the gateway of head as all the authors of brhattrayees and laghutrayees have shared the importance of nasyakarma in shirorogas.
 
Though the exact mode of action of nasya is not studied some hypotheses have been put forward by the scholars of Ayurveda.

Abstract

This chapter describes importance of three vital organs viz. hridaya (heart), shiras (head) and basti (urinary bladder) during purification procedures. The etio-pathogenesis of marma disorders are elaborated in detail with their management. The diseases include apatantraka (Opisthotomus), tandra (drowsiness) related to hridaya involvement, thirteen types of mutra dosha (diseases caused due to vitiation of urine), and diseases related to head viz. shankhaka (acute temporal headache ), ardhavabhedaka (one sided headache or migraine), suryavarta (headache that increases with sun rise) and anantavata (headache that starts from an area and then gradually involves the entire head and face). Uttara basti (per urethral and per vaginal drug delivery) as a treatment modality, its procedure of administration and dimensions of netra (nozzle) are discussed in detail for the management of urinary and reproductive systemic disorders. Nasya therapy (nasal errhines) is described for the management of disorders of head. The chapter emphasizes on importance of sustaining health of marma by following preventive measures and timely treatment.
Keywords: Marma (vital points), Diseases of head and nervous system, Heart and cardiovascular system, bladder, kidney and urinary system, Apatantraka, Ardhavabhedaka, Basti, Hridaya, Mutradosha, Nasya, Shiromarma, Suravarta, Tandra, Trimarma, Udavarta,Uttara basti, per vaginal drug delivery, per urethral drug delivery.

Introduction

Panchakarma and basti in particular can cause complications pertaining to marmas especially to the three vital points (trimarma-hridaya, shiras and basti) and successful treatment entails the proper administration of basti. All marmas fall under the madhyama rogamarga (disease pathways including internal systems) [ Cha.Sa.Sutra Sthana 11/48], and their diseases are difficult to manage. Vata dosha is important in etio-pathology of any disease, because the it is responsible for movement of vitiated doshas to other sites of disease (roga marga). Basti is the best treatment to alleviate vata and manage these diseases [Cha.Sa Siddhi Sthana 1/38-39]. Some diseases described in this chapter are not mentioned in the Trimarmiya Chikitsa chapter [Cha. Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 26] described earlier.

Uttara basti (per urethral and per vaginal drug delivery) is the third type of basti in the management of shukravaha srotas (reproductive system) and mutravaha srotas (urinary systems). This treatment modality to deliver drug in bladder in case of urinary system disorders and in uterus in case of uterine and reproductive system disorders is explained in detail. Nasya therapy (nasal errhines), its types and its importance in management of disorders of head is described further. Thus, the present chapter encompasses etio-pathology and medical management of all disorders related to heart, head and urinary system.

Hey Agnivesha! There are 107 marmas in this sharira situated in the skandha (trunk) and shakha (extremities or limbs). Trauma or pain occurring in these areas is much more intense as compared to other parts because of chetana (life) is bound to these sites.

The marmas related to skandha are more important than those situated in the shakha because the shakha is attached to the skandha and more so among the skandha situated marmas, hrid, basti and shiras are important owing to the fact that they are the root cause of body (on them depends the existence or otherwise of the body).[3]

In the hridaya (heart), are situated the ten dhamani (ten great vessels arising from the heart), prana, apana, manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), chetana (life), mahabhutas (5 fundamental elements) just like spokes to the axle in the center of a wheel.

In the shiras (head) are situated the indriyas (the seat of special senses), the srotas (channels) pertaining to the conduction of indriya and prana like the radiating spicules of the rays of sunlight.

The basti (bladder) situated in the midst of sthula guda (rectum), mushka (scrotum), sevani (perineal raphe), nadis carrying mutra (urine) and shukra (semen) is the mutradhara (reservoir of urine) in to which drain all the ambuvaha srotas, similar to the udadhi (sea/ ocean) into which drain all the rivers. Hence, the body may be described to be pervaded by innumerable srotas nourishing marmas similar to the sky which is pervaded by the rays of sunlight.

Among all the marmas, bheda (injury) to these 3 marmas (hridaya, shiras and basti) leads to sudden loss to the body. The destruction of substance (ashraya) leads to the destruction of the substrate. Its injury leads to severe disease manifestation. Hence, these should be especially protected against external injury and vatadi doshas.[5]

Injury to the hridaya leads to kasa (cough), shwasa (breathlessness), balakshaya (weakness), kantashosha (dryness of throat), klomakarshana (a form of severe chest pain), jihvanirgama (prolapse of tongue), mukhashosha (dryness of mouth), talushosha (dryness of palate), apasmara (epilepsy), unmada (psychosis), pralapa (irrelevant speech), chittanahsa (loss of mental integrity) etc.

Injury to the shiras leads to manyastambha (stiffness of neck), ardita (hemiplegia with facial palsy), chakshuvibhrama (improper movements of eyeball/lesions in sight), moha (a state of confusion), udveshtana (twisting pain in the head), cheshtanasha (loss of body functions), kasa (cough), shwasa (breathlessness), hanugraha (stiffness of jaw), muka (dumbness), gadgada (hoarseness of voice), akshinimilana (ptosis), gandaspandana (twitching in cheek), jrambhana (excessive yawning), lalasrava (dribbling of saliva), svarahani (aphonia), vadana jihmatva (deviation of face) etc.

Affliction of basti causes vata- mutra- varcha nigraha (retention of flatus, urine and stools), vankshana- mehana- basti shula (pain in groin, genitals and bladder region), kundala (retrogressive movement of vata or mutra), udavarta (reflux of vata or mutra), gulma (abdominal lumps ), anila asthila (a solid mass due to aggravated vata), upastambha (obstruction or retention of urine), nabhi- kukshi- guda- shroni graha (stiffness in umbilicus, epigastrium, rectum and pelvis) etc.

These mentioned symptoms due to affliction by vatadi doshas have been explained in Chikitsa Sthana with their management. [6]

However, these marmas have to be protected especially from anila (vata), as vata is the prime factor or cause for the aggravation of pitta and kapha and also it is the cause of prana (life) and is best palliable by basti. Hence, there is no treatment better than basti to maintain the marma. Hereby, the six asthapana skandhas (decoction enemas) and also the two anuvasana skandhas described in Vimana Sthana, as well as the bastis described in Siddhi Sthana with the treatment of vatavyadhi chikitsa may be rationally employed in the protection and restoration of the maha marmas (three great marmas).[7]

When the hridaya is predominantly affected, one should consume powdered hingu (asafetida) with lavana (rock salt) (primary base, in a powdered form) admixed with juice of matulunga (Citrus indica) or any other juice which is predominantly sour in taste and liked by the individual. Sthiradi panchamula (Five roots comprising sthira/ salaparni- Desmodium gangeticum, Prishniparni- Uraria picta, brihati- Solanum indicum, kantakari- Solanum surattense/ xanthocarpum, gokshura- Tribulus terrestris) rasa with sugar for drinking, yavagu (porridge) prepared out of bilvadi panchamula (five great roots comprising bilva- Aegle marmelos, agnimantha- Clerodendrum phlomides, syonaka- Oroxylum indicum , patala- Stereospermum tetragonum , Gambhari- Gmelina arborea) rasa, treatment modalities described under hridroga.

When murdhni (shiras ) is afflicted by vata, abhyanga (oil massage), sweda (fomentation), upanaha (poultice), snehapana (internal oleation), nastah ( nasal drug aministration errhines) such as avapidana (with churnas), dhuma (smoke) should be employed.

In disorders of basti, kumbhisweda ( a type of mahasweda described in [Cha.Sa.Sutra Sthana 14/56-58], varti prayoga (urethral suppository), niruha basti (decoction enema) prepared of shyamadi (Operculina turpethum etc) drugs with gomutra (Cows Urine) or bilvadi (Aegle marmelos etc) drugs with sura (fermented liquid), or with sara (Saccharum munja), kasa (Saccharum spontaneum), ikshu (Saccharum officinarum), darbha (Eragrostis cynosuroides/ Desmostachya bipinnata), gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), mulaka (Raphanus sativus) kvatha mixed with milk and paste of trapusa ( Cucumis sativus), ervaruka (Cucumis sativus- bitter), kharasvabija (Ajamoda- Apium graveolens), yava (Hordeum vulgare), rishabhaka (Microstylis muscifera Ridley ), vriddhi ((Habenaria intermedia D.Don syn. Habenaria arietina H.f.) ); anuvasana (Oil enema) with taila prepared from pitadaru (Berberis aristata), ghee prepared out of tilvaka (Symplocos racemosa or Viburnum sp.) for virechana (purgation); oil prepared out of kashaya (decoction) of shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), brahati (Solanum indicum), kantakari (Solanum xanthocarpum), guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), usira (Vetiveria zizanoides), madhuka (Glycyrrhiza glabra), 2 sariva(sveta sariva- Hemidesmus indicus and krishna sariva- Cryptolepis buchanana), lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), shreyasi (Cavya-Piper chaba), kusha (Desmostachys bipinnata), kasha (Saccharum spontaneum) roots, with 4 times kshira (milk), kalka(paste) made of bala (Sida cordifolia), vrisha (Adhatoda vasica), rishabhaka (Microstylis muscifera Ridley ), kharashva (Ajamoda- Apium graveolens), upakunchika (Elatteria cardomum), vatsaka (Holarrhena antidysenterica), trapusha (Cucumis sativus), ervarubija (Cucumis sativus seeds), shitivaraka (Sunishannaka- Marsilea quadrifida), madhuka (Glycyrrhiza glabra), vacha (Acorus calamus), shatapushpa (Peucedanum graveolens/ Anethum graveolens), asmabhedaka (Bergenia ligulata), varshabhu (Trianthema monogyna/ crystallina), madanaphala (Randia spinosa) should be used for uttara basti (enema into urethral route), and niruha (decoction enema) after shodhana (purification) , in an individual who is snigdha svinna (who is properly oleated and fomented) alleviates basti shula (pain in basti) and mutra vikara (urinary disorders).

Thereby concluding the Slokha-

In the hridaya, murdhna (head) and basti of individuals is situated the prana (life element) and hence attempts should be made to maintain paripalana (maintain normalcy) them. Abadhavarjana (avoidance of factors that cause affliction to marmas), svasthavrittanuvartana (following the healthy regimen), utpannarti vighata (management of the existing conditions) ensures maintenance of marmas (marma paripalana).[9-10]

Vata aggaravated by its own causative factors moves upwards from its sthana (site), reaching the hridaya produces pain or discomfort in hridaya (heart) and also in shira (head) and shankha (temporal area). It causes a bow-like bending of the body, akshipet (involuntary jerks) and mohayet (altered consciousness). (It causes involuntary bending or contractures and jerky movements and also obstruction to breathing). The person breathes out with difficulty, has spasm of eye movements or drooping, makes cooing sounds like a dove, becomes unconscious. The condition is called apatantraka. Some authors call a variant of this condition as apatanaka, in which there is fixity of eyes (gaze fixed) and grunting sounds from throat. When hridaya is free of doshas the person becomes healthy and becomes unconscious again when gets afflicted with doshas and is due to severe aggravation of vata. [12-15]

The aggravated kapha vata doshas cause obstruction to shvasana (breathing) which should be cleared by tikshna pradhamana nasya (powder blowing into nostrils). This restores the sanjna (consciousness). Sirsha virechana (purification of head) should be given using very fine powder of maricha (black peper/Piper indicum), shigrubija (seeds of Moringa olifera), vidanga (Embelia ribes) and phaninjjaka (Marubaka- Origanum majorana). In hridgraha (stiffness or tightness in Heart) and apatantraka one should consume tumburu (Zanthoxylum alatum), abhaya (Terminalia chebula fruit), hingu (Asafoetida), pushkara (Inula racemosa), three types of lavana (saindhava, sauvarcala and bida lavana) with decoction of yava (Hordeum vulgare). Consume hingu (Asafoetida), amlavetasa (Garcinia pedunculata), sunthi (Zingiber officinale), with sauvarchala (sorchal salt) and dadima (juice of pomergranate/ Punica granatum) and employ treatment that alleviates vata kapha doshas and which cures hridroga (cardiac disorders). Tikshna shodhana basti (strong purificatory enemas) is totally unsuitable. Ghrita prepared by sauvarchala salt, abhaya (Terminalia chebula), vyosha (pippali, maricha, sunthi i.e., Piper longum, Piper indicum and Zingiber officinale) is suitable. [16-20]

Due to consumption of anna (foods) that are madhura (sweet), snigdha (unctuous), guru (heavy to digest), chintana (excessive thinking), shrama (exertion), shoka (grief), vyadhyanushanga (chronicity of diseases), kapha aggravated by vata in association when gets lodged in hridaya, obscures the process of jnana, tandra (drowsiness) occurs. The symptoms of tandra are hridaye vyakulibhava (uneasiness or discomfort in the region of heart), sluggishness of speech and physical activity, decreased acuity of the sense organs, clouding of mind and intellect. This condition should be managed by shodhana and shamana measures that are kaphahara, vyayama (exercise), raktamokshana (blood letting) and intake of foods that are predominantly katu (pungent) and tikta (bitter).[21-24]

Withholding the urge to urinate, causes vata to get obstructed in its normal pathway which causes udavarta (reversal of movements) and thereby the mutra fills up in the udara producing inconsistent pain, sense of indigestion, obstruction to the flow of mutra and vid. This is called mutra jathara. Mutra virechana chikitsa (diuresis) should be employed in this condition. Hingu dvirittara churna clears mutrodara (distension of abdomen due to urinary retention), anaha (simple distension due to indigestion or constipation), adhmana (distension with pain) of guda (anus) and medhra (phallum). [29-31]

Mutra krichchra (dysuria)

मूत्रितस्य व्यवायात्तु रेतो वातोद्धतं च्युतम्|
पूर्वं मूत्रस्य पश्चाद्वा स्रवेत् कृच्छ्रं तदुच्यते||३२||

mUtritasya vyavAyAttu reto vAtoddhataM cyutam|
pUrvaM mUtrasya pashcAdvA sravet kRucchraM taducyate||32||

Indulgence in sexual intercourse by a person with active urge to micturate causes affliction of the dislodged shukra (seminal secretions) which flows either before or after the urine stream and this is called mutra krichchra.[32]

Mutrotsanga (residual urination)

खवैगुण्यानिलाक्षेपैः किञ्चिन्मूत्रं च तिष्ठति|
मणिसन्धौ स्रवेत् पश्चात्तदरुग्वाऽथ चातिरुक्||३३||

mUtrotsa~ggaH sa vicchinnamuccheShagurushephasaH |

Due to khavaigunya (structural deformity) in the mutravaha srotas, severe vata aggravation, some urine remains in the manisandhi (base of penis) and discharges sometime later either without pain or with severe pain. Mutra passes in vichchinna (split form) and uchchesha (with some residual urine in the enlarged or engorged penis) from the guru shepha (enlarged penis due to accumulation of excess urine in the penis). This is mutrotsanga. [33-33½]

Mutra samkshaya (suppression of urine formation)

वाताकृतिर्भवेद्वातान्मूत्रे शुष्यति सङ्क्षयः||३४||

vātākr̥tirbhavēdvātānmūtrē śuṣyati saṅkṣayaḥ||34||

vAtAkRutirbhavedvAtAnmUtre shuShyati sa~gkShayaH||34||

Due to aggravation of vata, the urine gets decreased with manifestation of vatakriti (symptoms of aggravated vata). The condition is mutra kshaya. [34]

Mutratita (delayed micturition)

चिरं धारयतो मूत्रं त्वरया न प्रवर्तते|
मेहमानस्य मन्दं वा मूत्रातीतः स उच्यते||३५||

ciraṁ dhārayatō mūtraṁ tvarayā na pravartatē|
mēhamānasya mandaṁ vā mūtrātītaḥ sa ucyatē||35||

ciraM dhArayato mUtraM tvarayA na pravartate|
mehamAnasya mandaM vA mUtrAtItaH sa ucyate||35||

In a person withholding for long, the urge to urinate, the urine does not flow instantly or flows with mild stream. This is called mutratita.[35]

Ashthila (hard globular swelling like tumor)

आध्मापयन् बस्तिगुदं रुद्ध्वा वायुश्चलोन्नताम्|
कुर्यात्तीव्रार्तिमष्ठीलां मूत्रविण्मार्गरोधिनीम्||३६||

ādhmāpayan bastigudaṁ ruddhvā vāyuścalōnnatām|

AdhmApayan bastigudaM ruddhvA vAyushcalonnatAm|
kuryAttIvrArtimaShThIlAM mUtraviNmArgarodhinIm||36||

When vata obstructs the path of mutra, it causes adhmana (distension) of basti (bladder area) and guda (rectal area) producing ashthila (stone like hard mass or swelling) which is chala (freely mobile), unnata (elevated) which causes tivra arti (severe pain) and vinmutrarodhini (obstruction to stools and urine). [36]

Vatabasti (vata affliction of bladder)

मूत्रं धारयतो बस्तौ वायुः क्रुद्धो विधारणात्|
मूत्ररोधार्तिकण्डूभिर्वातबस्तिः स उच्यते||३७||

mūtraṁ dhārayatō bastau vāyuḥ kruddhō vidhāraṇāt|

mUtraM dhArayato bastau vAyuH kruddho vidhAraNAt|
mUtrarodhArtikaNDUbhirvAtabastiH sa ucyate||37||

Withholding the urine in the basti causes vata to aggravate which causes mutrarodha (urinary obstruction), arti (pain), kandu (itching) and this is called vatabasti. [37]

Ushnavata ((vata-pitta affliction of urine/burning micturition)

उष्मणा सोष्मकं मूत्रं शोषयन् रक्तपीतकम्|
उष्णवातः सृजेत् कृच्छ्राद्बस्त्युपस्थार्तिदाहवान्||३८||

uṣmaṇā sōṣmakaṁ mūtraṁ śōṣayan raktapītakam|
uṣṇavātaḥ sr̥jēt kr̥cchrādbastyupasthārtidāhavān||38||

uShmaNA soShmakaM mUtraM shoShayan raktapItakam|
uShNavAtaH sRujet kRucchrAdbastyupasthArtidAhavAn||38||

Due to indulgence in ushma (factors that increase the heat in the body), there will be mutra shosha (decrease in mutra), raktapita mutra (reddish or yellowish urine), passed with difficulty (krichchrat), causing arti (pain) and daha (burning) in basti (urinary bladder) and upastha (genitalia). This is ushnavata. [38]

Vatakundalika (scanty and painful flow of urine)

गतिसङ्गादुदावृत्तः स मूत्रस्थानमार्गयोः|

Due to gatisanga (obstruction in the pathway) of mutra in the mutrasthana (mutrasaya) and mutramarga (mutravaha srotas), the viguna vayu (aggravated vata) becomes udavratta (reflux or moves in opposite direction) and thereby bhagna (broken), vyaviddha (zigzag) or kundali (rotatory) in its pathway. It then affects the mutra with samstambha (stiffness or rigidity), bhanga (breaking pain), gaurava (heaviness), veshtana (twisting pain), tivraruk (severe pain) and mutravitsanga (retention of urine and feces). The condition is called vata kundalika. [39-40]

Raktagranthi (nodular swelling in bladder)

रक्तं वातकफाद्दुष्टं बस्तिद्वारे सुदारुणम्|
ग्रन्थिं कुर्यात् स कृच्छ्रेण सृजेन्मूत्रं तदावृतम्||४१||

granthiM kuryAt sa kRucchreNa sRujenmUtraM tadAvRutam||41||

ashmarIsamashUlaM taM raktagranthiM pracakShate|

Rakta getting vitiated by vata and kapha, produces a grievous nodular swelling (granthi) which obstructs the mutra and as a result the mutra is eliminated with difficulty and pain similar to urinary calculus. The condition is called raktagranthi. [41-41½]

Vid vighata (feces coming through urine)

रूक्षदुर्बलयोर्वातेनोदावृत्तं शकृद्यदा||४२||

मूत्रस्रोतः प्रपद्येत विट्संसृष्टं तदा नरः|

In a ruksha (emaciated) and durbala (weak) person, due to aggravated vata when shakrita (stool matter) becomes udavarta (moves into other pathway) and enters the channels of mutra, the person passes mutra admixed with stool matter bearing a fecal odor with difficulty. The condition is called vidvighata.[42-43]

Basti kundala (circular distension of bladder)

Due to factors such as fast walking, fasting, exhaustion, injury and compression, the basti is displaced upwards giving the appearance of distended gravid uterus. The patient manifests with shula (severe pain), spandana (involuntary contractions or spasms) and daha (burning) and passes urine drop by drop. On straining there is streamed urine with samstambha (griping pain), udvestana (twisting pain) or arti (simple pain). The condition is called basti kundala and is similar to shastra (sharp weapon), visha (poison) in its action. The condition is dominant of vata and is incurable by the unintelligent.

When vata is associated with pitta, there occurs daha (burning), shula (colicky pain) and discoloration of urine.

Association with kapha causes gaurava (heaviness), shopha (swelling), and the mutra is snigdha (unctuous), ghana (thick) and sita (whitish).

When kapha obstructs the bladder neck or when pitta is severely aggravated it is incurable. If bladder neck is unobstructed, it is curable but not when there is circumgyration. When there is circumgyration in bladder it causes hrid moha (altered consciousness) and breathlessness. [44-48½]

These conditions should be examined in terms of dominance of dosha and treated by measures that relieve mutrakrichchra (dysuria). Basti (rectal enemas) and uttara basti (Bladder enemas) should be administered in all these conditions. [49-49½]

Pushpanetra (uttara basti nozzle) used for uttara basti should be made of gold or silver, smooth, be similar to stalk of jati (Jasminum officinale), or asvahana (Karavira- Nerium odorum/ indicum) and like cow’s tail (tapering). It should be 12 angulas long, have two ridges (dvikarna) and sarshapachidra (permitting the passage of mustard seed). It fitted on to goats bladder, half pala (25ml) of sneha should be taken or the quantity of sneha should be judiciously calculated in consideration of the patient’s age.

The patient having bathed, taken food with mamsarasa or milk, after clearing the urges of urine and feces, seated erect comfortably on a soft seat of knee height, the erect penis probed with a shalaka (metallic probe) duly lubricated with ghee and if found to be unobstructed, then in accordance with the size of penis the enema nozzle should be introduced as per the procedure of gudabasti i.e., along the direction of perineal raphe. If it is excessively introduced it causes pain and if insufficiently introduced the snehana does not occur. After compressing the basti yantra (douche bag) without shaking and comfortably (without causing discomfort to the patient) the basti netra should be removed. In case, the basti medicine comes out, a second and even a third enema may be given. If it does not come out then it can be ignored for a night. [50-57]

Varti (suppository) prepared out of pippali (Piper longum), lavana (rock salt), agaradhuma (house soot), apamarga (Achyranthus aspera), sarshapa (Brassica campestris), vartaku (Solanum melongena), nirgundi juice (juice of Vitex negundo), shampaka (Cassia fistula), sahachara (Barleria prionitis), mutra (Urine of cattle etc. 8 animals), amla (amlavarga dravyas like nimbuka etc) with gud (jaggery) all pounded together and varti prepared which is introduced into the urinary passage. The tip of varti should be of the size of sarshapa (seed of Brassica campestris) and the other end resembling masha (Phaseolus radiatus). In the mutranadi (urinary passage), it should be introduced like the bastinetra and in the payu (anal orifice) it should be of thickness upto 1 angushta. When the sneha comes out, it should be followed by anuvasana basti vidhi (procedures mentioned in the after care of anuvasana basti). The vyapat (complications), their management and symptoms of proper administration are also similar to anuvasana basti procedure.[58-61]

In women, uttarabasti should be administered during the menses as the vagina is then open and easily receives the sneha administered, thereby the vata being subdued it easily becomes impregnable. Uttarabasti with appropriate medicines should be administered in disorders of basti (Urinary bladder), prolapse of uterus, severe pain related to uterus, 20 diseases of uterus and vagina (described in [Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 30th chapter], menorrhagia-metrorrhagia conditions, retention of urine and dribbling incontinence.[62-64½]

The uttarabasti nozzle for females should be 10 angulas in length, circumference as equal to that of urethra and its inner lumen permitting a seed of mudga (whole green gram/ phaseolus mungo). It should be introduced to a length of 4 angulas in the genital tract and 2 angulas into urinary tract for adult females and 1 angula for bala (unmarried below 16 years of age). The lady lying down supine with thighs folded upon itself, should be introduced the nozzle comfortably in the direction parallel to the spine. Two, three or four unctuous enemas may be administered in a span of 24 hours. The varti (suppository) to be administered for elimination of basti medicament should be thicker than the enema nozzle. This uttarabasti should be done for three consecutive nights with gradual increase in the dose of unctuous medicament. The procedure should be likewise repeated after 3 days.[65-69½]

Here after shall be elaborated certain diseases of the head. The aggravated rakta, pitta and vata getting lodged in the shankhadesha (temporal area) produce a severe painful swelling with redness. It is acute in manifestation like poison and obstructs the channels of the head and neck, killing the patient in 3 nights. If the patient survives beyond these 3 days, then considering the condition as pratyakhyeya (incurable but manageable) one should administer treatment modalities such as shirovirecha (errhines), seka (affusions) etc., which are curative of visarpa (erysipelas like lesions).[70-73]

Vata aggravated due to consumption of ruksha (dry/ ununctuous) substances, excessive quantity or frequent intake (adhyashana), easterly breeze, dew/snow, sexual intercourse, withholding of urges, exhaustion and exercise, either singly or along with kapha, affecting either half of the head produces severe pain in neck, eyebrow, temples, ear, eye, forehead of one side. The condition is acutely severe like a sharp weapon or fire-log and is called ardhavabhedaka. The condition when severe may impair the functions of an eye or an ear. The 4 snehas (taila, ghrita, vasa and majja) in the maximum dose, kayavirechana (purgation), sirovirechana (purificatory errhines), nadisweda, 10 year old ghee, oil enemas, poultices, shirobasti, cautery are advocated here. The management told for pratishyaya (rhinitis) and headaches as mentioned should also be employed appropriately. [74-78]

Witholding the urges, indigestion etc. leads to the vitiation of rakta and vata which in turn vitiate the mastishka (brain). Thus, affected by the vitiated rakta and vata, at sunrise due to the heat of sunrays these slowly liquefy and thereby during the day there is headache which increases with the day. At the end of the day as they solidify, the headache subsides. The condition is called suryavarta and is managed by post-prandial ghee consumption, shirovireka (purificatory errhines), kayavireka (purgation), shiropichu (holding a gauze or piece of cotton soaked in medicated oil over the vertex) or shirobasti (holding medicated oil in a circular tank like formation over the head) with trisnehas, poultices prepared with jangala mamsa (meat of animals living in dry lands), affusions with ghee and milk, ghee (nasya) errhines prepared out of ksheerapaka of barhi, tittiri, lava (birds that live on land) etc. and navana (unctuous errhines) with ghee processed with 8 parts milk and jeevaniya drugs (jeevaka, jeevanti- Leptadenia reticulata, rishabhaka, kakoli, kshirakakoli etc.).[79-83]

The three doshas aggravated due to fasting, severe grief, consumption of food which is ununctuous, cold and less in quantity, producing severe pain in manya (antero lateral part of neck) and then ghata (posterior part of neck). Later the pain localizes to the eye, eyebrow and temples, causes twitching in the cheek, diseases of the eye and stiffness of the jaw. The condition is called anantavata. It is treated by siravyadha (venesection) and medicines that cure suryavarta. The vata aggravated by ruksha etc factors produces tremors of the head. In this condition amrita (Tinospora cordifolia), bala (Sida cordifolia), rasna (Pluchea lanceolata), mahashveta (Clitoria ternatea Linn.), ashvagandha (Withania sommifera) which are alleviators of vata should be used for oleation, fomentation and tarpana nasya (nourishing errhines) should be employed.[84-87]

Nasya karma is said to be of 5 types- navana (unctuous errhines), avapida (expressed errhines), dhmapana (powder errhines), dhuma (smoke inhalation) and pratimarsha (low dose unctuous errhines). Navana (unctuous errhines) is of two types viz, snehana (oleating) and shodhana (purificatory). Avapida (Expressed errhine) is of two types-shodhana (purificatory) and stambhana (astringent). Blowing of churna (powder errhine) is said to cleanse the body passages. Dhuma (smoke inhalation) is said to be of three types ie, shamana etc (palliative, oleating and purificatory) as mentioned before. Pratimarsha is an oleative type of errhine without any adverse effects whatsoever and serves both (oleation and purification). Hence, the above mentioned 5 types of errhines fall into 3 categories – rechana (purificatory), tarpana (nourishing) and samana (palliative). [89-92]

In kaphaja shirorogas characterized by stiffness, numbness, heaviness etc. Nasta karma(nasal errhines) especially purificatory type is beneficial. Those diseases of head which are due to vata such as tremors of the head, facial palsy etc in them nastakarma in the form of tarpana is most suited. In diseases like raktapitta (bleeding dyscrasias) palliative errhines are indicated. Powder errhines and smoke inhalation are indicated for appropriate ones (treatment should be carried out by the physician after duly considering the dosha etc factors).[93-95½]

Tarpana sneha nasya should be administered into the nostrils of a patient in the early morning or mid noon, who has attended to his ablutions lying down supine comfortably on a well spread couch, with head extended and the foot slightly raised. If the head is not lowered at all, the medication does not reach the head. If the head is excessively lowered the nasya medication may reach into the brain. Hence, a reclining patient for proper purification should be administered fomentation to the head. After proper fomentation, the tip of nose elevated with the thumb of left hand and with the right hand the unctuous errhine should be dropped into the nostril through a tube or gauze, equally into both the nostrils. After having done this, the head should be duly fomented and the instilled medicine should be repeatedly extracted along with the phlegmmatous discharge so that no medicine remains. (98-103½)

The mucus liquefied by the sudation, accumulated by the administration of errhine will get condensed back in the head due to the inherent coldness of the unctuous errhine which leads to diseases of ears, neck and throat. Hence, after the errhine therapy, one should take smoking which eliminates kapha, consume wholesome diet, resort to breezeless, warm residence and observe self restraint.

The same procedure should be employed for administration of avapida nasya (expressed errhine). As regards pradhmapana (powder inhalation), the medicinal powder should be blown by mouth through a 6 Angula long tube. After purification of the head he should be made to drink hot water followed by predominant fluid diet which is light and not against the three doshas, and then made to reside in a breezeless place by vigilant physician. One who is purified off the doshas if indulges in factors which cause dosha aggravation, the doshas getting provoked move about in the body producing many diseases due to them. In these the wise physician should carry out treatments as mentioned and as appropriate for diseases arising due to untimely administration of errhine therapy. [104-110]

Unctuous errhine administered in patients of indigestion, soon after major food, water consumption, on an unsuitable (cloudy) day, in case of acute rhinitis, after bath, internal oleation, oil enema gives rise to many diseases of kapha. In these conditions all measures that alleviate kapha such as penetrating, hot etc are beneficial.

Ununctuous or dry errhines in persons who are emaciated, after purgation, pregnant, exhausted due to severe exercise, thirsty, leads to aggravation of vata and produce diseases due to it. In such conditions all vata alleviating measures such as oleation, nourishing therapy, sudation etc should be done. In case of pregnant especially, ghee and milk should be administered. Unctuous errhine administered in those afflicted by severe fever, grief and alcoholics causes dimness of vision. It should be managed by collyrium and applications to the eye and instillation of medicine prepared by putapaka method which are un-unctuous and cold. [111-115]

Unctuous errhine (all errhines for that matter) is of two types- oleating and purificatory. Pratimarsha (low dose unctuous errhine) serves both the purpose and does not produce any ill effects. In the morning, night and at all times, one should use an oleated finger for pratimarsha. It should not be inhaled deeply. It is suitable for healthy and serves to strengthen the head.[116-117]

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • Marmas are the vital junctions and organs in the body.
  • Marmas are the site of chetana (vital power of life). Therefore, their diseases/injuries are more severe and need immediate attention in treatment.
  • The vital organs in trunk and abdomen are more important that those in extremities or at superficial level.
  • Hridaya (heart including cardio-vascular system), basti (Urinary bladder including urinary system and kidneys) and shiras (head including sensory-motor nervous system) are important owing to the fact that they are the roots of body and the existence of life depends on them.
  • Hridaya (heart) is the center for receiving the ten dhamani (ten great vessels arising from the heart), prana, apana, manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), chetana (life), mahabhutas (5 fundamental elements) just like spokes to the axle in the center of a wheel.
  • Shiras (head) is the centre for the indriyas (the seat of special senses), the srotas (channels) pertaining to the conduction of indriya and prana like the radiating spicules of the rays of sunlight.
  • The basti (bladder) is center that is related with the functions of sthula guda (rectum), mushka (scrotum), sevani (perineal raphe), urinary channels and shukra (semen). It is also the mutradhara (reservoir of urine) in to all the water carrying channels in the body drain, similar to all the rivers drain into the udadhi (sea/ ocean).
  • Injury to these three marmas (hridaya, shiras and basti) leads to sudden loss to the life. Therefore these should be especially protected against external injury and vatadi doshas.
  • Vata is the prime factor or cause for the aggravation of pitta and kapha and also it is the cause of prana (life) and is best managed by basti.
  • Prana (life) is situated at hridaya (heart), murdhna (head) and basti (bladder and urinary system). Hence attempts should be made to maintain paripalana (maintain normalcy) them. Abadhavarjana (avoidance of factors that cause affliction to marmas), svasthavrittanuvartana (following the healthy regimen), utpannarti vighata (management of the existing conditions) ensures maintenance of marmas (marma paripalana).
  • Apatantraka (opisthotomus) disease is caused by kapha-vata dominance and it shall be managed by kapha-vata pacifying measures including tikshna pradhamana nasya (powder blowing into nostrils). Strong purification enemas are contraindicated in the treatment of apatantraka.
  • Tandra (drowsiness) is caused due to vitiation of vata and kapha dosha. This condition should be managed by shodhana and shamana measures that are kaphahara, vyayama (exercise), raktamokshana (bloodletting) and intake of foods that are predominantly katu (pungent) and tikta (bitter).
  • The urinary disorder occur mainly due to suppression of urine urge, vitiation of doshas in urine. These conditions should be treated based on dominance of dosha and by measures that relieve mutrakrichchra (dysuria), basti ( per rectal enemas) and uttara basti (per urethral enemas).
  • Improper diet and lifestyle habits are causative factors for various types of headaches. The doshas with rakta are involved in the etio-pathology of head diseases.
  • Administration of four snehas (taila, ghrita, vasa and majja) in the maximum dose, Kayavirechana (purgation), shirovirechana (purificatory errhines), nadisweda ( fomentation), 10 year old ghee, oil enemas, poultices, shirobasti, cautery are advocated in the management of head diseases.
  • The disorders of head and organs in the supra-clavicular region can be managed by nasya karma (errhines). Nasal drug administration is the gateway of head, the medicines administered thereby pervade into the head and cures diseases pertaining to the head.
  • In kapha dominant diseases of head with obstructive pathology, nasya (nasal errhines) of purificatory type are advised.
  • In vata dominant diseases of head with degenerative pathology, nasya (nasal errhines) of nourishing type are advised.
  • In pitta dominant diseases of head with hemorrhagic pathology, nasya (nasal errhines) of palliative type are advised.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences )

The concept of marma described in Ayurveda texts differs with those described in Keraliya Marma Chikitsa (Kalari Marma) and the Tamilian marma concept. The numbers and positions also vary greatly. The Keraliyan marma concept seems to be more related to warfare medicine and the management of trauma while the tamilian marma concept is more so as described in Ayurveda related to kshata as well well as doshaja aghata. Ayurveda believes that suppression of urges, over enthusiastic activities, strainful activities, faulty treatment practices can actually cause doshaja marmaghata.

Clinical conditions like paralysis, paresis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, haemorrhage can be understood on Ayurvedic lines by taking clue from here. When it takes place at shirasthana above mentioned conditions can manifest. They need to be treated on the lines of treatment of marmaghata rather than only treating them as vatavyadhi.

The clinical presentations described to occur under the affection of three marmas are almost practically found in relation to dosha aggravations affecting the marmas and also in case of their injury. Some symptoms are due to direct organ damage and others due to reflex neurological or hormonal disturbances.

Vata is considered to be cause of provocation of pitta and kapha. In the process of disease formation direct reference of involvement of vata as early as in the stage of prasara (third out of six stages of disease formation) vata is also said to be cause of life to underline its importance as well as the need to address it urgently. Amongst all the treatments of vata, basti is the best purely on its merits to take care of vata disorders of all the systems throughout the body.

Hridaya when gets affected, is managed by juices which are amla (sour) in taste ,as it is best among hridya dravyas. The drug hingu (asafoetida) has been found to be effective as a vatanulomaka, pachana, amahara, and sulaghna. It is also widely used in udavarta conditions, to relieve functional spasms of smooth muscles as in intestinal colic. Hingu vachadi churna is specifically used for such conditions. Clinical conditions related to Trimarma are alarmingly high today. By effecting subtle changes in life style in accordance with classical guidelines will help to reduce life risk to great extent. Preventing the injury to vital organs and timely appropriate management in case of diseases is the key to prevention of diseases and promotion of health.

Apatantraka(opisthotomus) is due to obstruction of kapha to vata, apatanaka(status epilepticus) is only due to vata.

Based on the descriptions of the condition involving the heart which is the manasa sthana and the involvement of head as well, with clinical manifestations like unconsciousness with flexion spasms or bending of the body, which is temporary, this condition may be considered as a form of syncope.

Treatment schedule for apatantraka starts with tikshna pradhamana as prana vilomatva has to be corrected to maintain the life of the patient. Second in line is shirovirechana, as vitiated vata creates pain in sirah and shankha by taking upward course. Then treatment for pacification of vata kapha in hridroga is applied to take care of hridaya, as vata also occupies hridaya when does upward direction. Further basti would have been an ideal option to take vata into its own site and pacify it, but it should not be strong, it is to be given in lesser quantity. Involvement of hridaya in pathogenesis might have prompted this thought, as strong basti might cause dehydration due to excess elimination leading to fatal condition of hridaya.

Fine powders of shirovirechana medicines can clear obstructive pathology faster and hence are preferred. Maricha which is pramathi i.e., with its potency drags the doshas out of srotasas (channels) and removes them from the system. Other medicines shigrubija, vidanga are known for their shirovirechana activity.

Vata and kapha are both considered as causative factors for the onset of tandra. Vata agitates kapha, which in turn occupies hridaya. The knowledge process gets blocked leading to tandra. Treatment aims at eliminating and pacifying kapha. Vyayama and diet of pungent and bitter tastes which acts against kapha are suitable. The unusual reference of blood letting can be attributed to involvement of hridaya, which is an organ made up of purest form of rakta.

The factors that bring about physical and mental exertion with foods that prolong the digestion or are heavy for digestion bring about an aggravation of kapha with vata and tamo guna thereby producing tandra (drowsiness). Hence, all medicines that help to clear the avarana of manas by these doshas] may be employed, especially so teekshna pradhamana nasya.

The mutravaha srotovikaras have been broadly classified into mutra atipravrittija (excess urination) and mutra apravrittija (less urination) vikaras by Vagbhata (A.H.Ni.9/40). The former includes twenty varieties of prameha and the latter includes two categories of disorders – 8 types of mutrakrichchra (dysuria) and 12 types mutraghata (urinary disorders), though both the set of disorders are described under the title mutraghata. Under mutraghata, bastikundala (circular distension of bladder) is not described.

In general terms though we find that mutraghata is described as condition with suppression or less production of urine and mutrakrichchra as dysuria, not all conditions described under mutraghata are characterized by oliguria or reduced output.

Most of the conditions seem to occur predominantly by retention of urine or bladder distension. Mutrasaada, mutraukasaada and ushnavata may be considered as scanty urination or oliguria; Mutrakshaya may be equated to oliguria or anuria.

Mutrakrichchra is a condition of dysuria due to spermorrhoea. Others like vatabasti, mutratita, mutrajathara seem to occur due to voluntary withholding of the urge of micturition resulting in physiological bladder atony as in mutratita or retention with pain as in vatabasti and atonied distended bladder in mutrajathara all progressive conditions of the same pathological process.

Bastikundala also seems to be a condition of bladder atony but with superadded cystitis due to severe physical stress and states of dehydration. In vatashthila and mutragranthi there seems to be an obvious anatomical growth which causes obstruction to the urine pathway which may be considered as prostatomegaly and vesicle tumors respectively. The condition of vatakundalika, though from the Nidana seems to be similar to the conditions of withholding the urge of urination, due to the symptoms seems more or less like urethral stricture. Mutrotsanga seems to be a condition of acute urethritis or cystitis where there is stranguary, dysuria, hesitancy and sometimes blood in urine. Mutrakshaya more or less seems like anuria or oliguria due to dehydration. Vidvighata clearly seems a case of recto vesicle or rectourethral fistula.

Susruta describes pittaja and kaphaja types of mutraukasada (dense urine) as two different conditions. In pittaja mutraukasada he describes that on drying, the urine resembles gorochana churna (powder of a stone or 'bezoar' found in cattle) and in case of kaphaja variety, on drying the urine becomes like shankha churna (powder of conch shell).

Due to holding of natural urges, obstruction to the downward movement of vata makes vata gati in to upward and circular, manifesting in to severe condition called mutrajathara (accumulation of urine in abdominal cavity). Along with symptoms like retention of urine and stool, indigestion is also one of the symptoms.

Based on the descriptions, the condition seems to be a neurological disturbance of bladder function due to repeated withholding the urge of micturition.

All the above mentioned mutradoshas are in accordance with the nidanas described under Ca.Vi.5/20 ie, drinking water, consuming food, indulging in sexual intercourse when one feels the urge to micturate and withholding the urge of micturition especially in an emaciated or traumatized individual.

The condition mutratita seems to be a physiological atony of bladder owing to prolonged withholding the urge to micturate, thereby the bladder contractions wean away and paves the way for atony. Recurrent withholding the urge may result in pathological atony as well as neurological disturbances in bladder function due to disturbances in the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic functions. This concept may be practically found in patients of diabetes mellitus with recurrent urinary tract infections (cystitis), wherein USG reveals significant residual urine in bladder due to bladder atony. Such patients are immensely benefited by toilet training ie, developing a habit of regular micturition at timely intervals which in due course reduces the incidence of recurrent urinary tract infections and in due course significantly reduces the residual urine, possibly improving the bladder tone and nervous integrity.

The role of basti chikitsa and specifically uttarabasti in the management of apana vata vikriti and also sthana dushti (local vitiation) has been highlighted in the classical texts.

The drugs having mutrala (mutravirecaneeya and mutravirajaneeya) actions are all useful in the above mentioned mutradoshas. The mutravirajaneeya, mutravirechaneeya gana dravyas[Cha.Sa.Sutra Sthana 4/15] are very helpful.

The descriptions of the procedure with materials or equipment used thereby are clearly stated in the texts. Gold and silver are metals considered to be soft and malleable. The uttarabasti nozzle prepared out of these are specially suited for introducing into urethra as it is extremely vulnerable to trauma during the procedure which can be minimized by these metals. Primarily the chance of injury is due to the fact that male urethra is curved (‘S’ shaped) and straightened slightly when the penis is erect. Nevertheless, when fully straight there is a increased chance of trauma. Further these metals have a protective effect on the body.

In clinical practice, simple rubber catheters no. 6 or 7 may be used for the procedure after sterilization by autoclaving and so should be the medicine used for uttarabasti. With due aseptic precautions, the procedure should be carried out in a fumigated room preferably like an O.T. procedure which reduces the likely chances of U.T.I. Nevertheless, in the outcome the chances of asymptomatic pyuria or abacteriuric pyuria are always there. These possibly can be minimized with the use of filtered medicament (so as to ensure no particles), pre-autoclaved and administered with nozzle of gold or silver. Though the classical position of the patient is seating, lying down position is equally easy and the patient may be made to feel more comfortable. An hour after the procedure, the patient should be instructed to consume plenty of oral fluids to maintain a high urine output. The patients comfortably retain the medicament for 2-4 hours. The procedure may be done daily for 8 days after an initial gudagata asthapana basti. The procedure is done after asking the patient to evacuate the bladder and bowel.

The drugs described are mostly ushna veerya, vatanulomana and hence are highly beneficial in clearing the avarodha(obstruction) of aushadha.

The indication of administration of varti into gudamarga as well, probably indicates that some reflex mechanisms are involved in the evacuation of bladder in case of retained medicament. This in the classical description may be explained as causing apanavatanulomana.

The modern gynecological texts describe per vaginal investigative procedures to be carried out soon after the menses after the stoppage of bleeding. In practice, it’s the ideal time for the uttarabasti as it’s the time wherein this is naturally open to shed the endometrium which almost closes by the period of ovulation. Further, not only do the medicament enter the uterus with ease but also it acts at a time ideal for it to receive the sperms as well as provides a conducive environment for implantation of fertilized ovum maximizing the chances to conceive.

Vitiated rakta, pitta and vata takes course of shirah(head), especially shankha (temporal region), a marma of the type sadyahpranahara (acute life threatening), making the condition incurable. Involvement of rakta dhatu in diseases of shirah is appreciated by Charaka in [Cha.Sa.Sutra Sthana 17/11] Pitta dominating symptoms like daha (burning sensation), raga (redness) and vitiation of rakta dhatu brings in treatment of visarpa in to picture, as it also has both these entities vitiated.

The consideration of shankhaka as pratyakhyeya vyadhi and the initiation of treatment in case of survival probably indicates the fact that there could be residual symptoms needing effective management and also that there is a likely chance of recurrence.

Pathogenesis of the disease indicates two different ways of vitiation of dosha, vata and vatakapha. Further treatment can also be understood on this basis. Use of Chatusneha (all four snehas ghrita, taila, vasa, majja), procedures like shirobasti, anuvasanabasti, aimed at pacifying vata while more aggresive treatments like shirovirechana, virechana, use of 10 year old ghee, upanaha (poultice), dahana (cautery) are useful in vatakapha dominating condition.

From the descriptions, it appears that this condition could possibly be migraine. The possible triggering factors such as sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion, mental factors such as anxiety, stress etc, may all be understood under the nidanas described in the classics. The location of pain is also similar. The severity of pain and the disturbances of vision and audition are all classical being found in the stage of aura and may even associate with the proper stage.

Treatment is aimed at elimination of dosha initially followed by pacification of them by various means. Three sneha viz, taila, ghrita, vasa to be used in murdha taila form (holding these materials on head). Here majja is excluded as it is gurutara (most heavy amongst snehas). Seka(effusion) in the form of ghrita, milk will help in pacifying vata by acting as brimhana (nourishment), at the same time raktaprasadana (pacifying the impurities in blood) is achieved. Nasya with jeevaniya ghrita is also to pacify vata and to account for raktaprasadana.

In Bhavaprakasa Nighantu, due to non availability, pratinidhi (substitutes) have been described for ashtha varga (group of eight vitalizer herbs) drugs like vidarikanda (Pueraria tuberosa) for jeevaka and rshabhaka, ashvagandha (Withania somnifera) for kakoli and kshirakakoli, varahikanda (Dioscorea bulbifera) for riddhi and vriddhi, shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) for meda and mahameda.

The description of the incidence and timing of the symptoms point to the condition of frontal sinusitis which usually starts as a dull headache in the morning that increases in severity as the day progresses. Occasionally it may be relieved by sleep or sometimes not which depends on the relative dominance of rakta and vata.

As the condition is purely vata dominant, all the treatments described for suryavarta such as ghritapana, ghrita nasya, siropichu, sirobasti are all beneficial. If the condition is associated with raktavrita vata, siravyadha is utmost beneficial. This condition may be possibly correlated with Trigeminal neuralgia, based on the location of pain. Siravyadha at the temporal area is of utmost benefit in neuralgic headaches.

It is uncontroversial that nose is the gateway of head as all the authors of brihattrayis and laghutrayis have shared the importance of nasyakarma in shirorogas.

Though the exact mode of action of nasya is not studied some hypotheses have been put forward by the scholars of Ayurveda. One of them is that the medicament directly penetrates into the brain, as fat soluble substances can easily diffuse through the cribriform plate of ethmoid bone (which forms the roof of the nasal cavity) which is porous and owing to the location of olfactory bulbs the medicament can percolate along the fibers of olfactory nerve. The second most agreeable hypothesis is the receptor theory, which believes stimulation of certain brain centers through specific receptors situated in the nasal cavity. The administration of posterior pituitary extract into nostrils by means of sprays, practically and successfully followed in diabetes insipidus is a proof sufficient that through suitable formulation, medicament may be made to act on the brain.

It is clearly described that sneha nasya should be done in vata aggravation and ruksha nasya should be done in kaphaja diseases. If this indication is ignored the complications that may follow and the measures to tackle them is described in the above verses.

In Ashtanga Hridaya, ten specific timings suitable for administration of pratimarsha have been described.

In practice, especially in conditions of migraine, allergic rhinitis and atopic rhinitis we advise patients to smear medicated oil or ghee into the nostrils using an oleated finger. This may be considered a form of pratimarsha itself.
