=== Introduction ===

=== Introduction ===

 

In the series of chapters described for management principles, the present chapter describes two most commonly observed conditions in society viz. ''santarpana'' (over-nutrition) and ''apatarpana'' (undernutrition). It is sequenced after ''langhana'' and ''brimhana'' therapies. The present chapter enlists causes, diseases due to overnutrition and undernutrition and their management through diet and medicaments. It is a blend of nutraceutical food supplements with medicaments. Complications arising due to sedentary lifestyle and over-nutritive diet are also enlisted in the chapter with diseases caused due to undernutrition/ malnourishment and their management with simple dietary preparations. The pharmacological effect of herbs used in management are elaborated in details as well.

''Santarpana'' (overnutrition) leads to vitiation of ''kapha dosha, meda dhatu'' and various obstructive pathologies, whereas ''apatarpana'' (undernutrition) leads to ''vata-pitta dosha'' vitiation and various degenerative pathologies. This concept has been emphasized in this chapter.

Excessive consumption of unctuous, sweet, heavy to digest and slimy food, new grains (especially new rice), new wine, flesh of animals living in marshy area or born in water, cow’s milk and its products, and those prepared with sugar or molasses, varieties of cakes lead to ''santarpana''. Those who indulge in sedentary, inactive lifestyles and sleep during the day are prone to ''santarpaniya vyadhis'' (i.e. ''santarpana'' induced diseases). [3-4]

Anabolic processes are triggered in a body when there is an intake of calorie rich and excessive food and nutrition but little or no physical exercise, resulting in increased body tissues. This also contributes to causing diseases such as metabolic syndrome. These conditions are managed by purification therapies leading to reduction (''langhana''), and prescribing a regimen of physical exercise, appropriate dietary changes, fomentation and reducing drugs.

'''''Phanita''''' (molasses) is a semisolid condensed sugarcane preparation, traditionally used to prepare ''arista, asava'' and other forms of alcoholic fermentation. Its heavy in nature, sweet in taste, nutritive and non - aphrodisiac and aggravates tridosha. Sattu, ghee, whey, sour fruits like Garcinia combojia, and kanji work as tarpana medicines in urinary ailments and ''udavarta'' (abnormal conditions characterized by retention of faeces, urine and flatus, associated with pain and leading to or caused by anti-peristaltic movements in the body).
