<p style="text-align:justify;">The chapter deals with the etio-pathogenesis and management of ''hikka'' (hiccups) and ''shwasa'' (dyspnea). The general causative factors include dietary and environmental pathogens and specific pathogenesis is due to involvement of [[vata]] and [[kapha]] as major [[dosha]]. Thus five types of ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are elaborated. The classification is based upon clinical presentation of disease and includes three types each of ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' with bad prognostic signs pointing to imminent death. The description comprehends basic principles of management focused on removing obstruction of [[kapha]] and allowing proper flow of [[vata]] by means of purification therapies, sudation, nasal errhines, medicated smoking and various formulations. The management emphasizes on nourishment and pacification therapies to successfully treat and prevent ''shwasa'' and ''hikka'' conditions. Depletion therapies are strongly contra-indicated as they may worsen the condition of patient and disease. </p>

''Hikka'' (hiccups) and ''shwasa'' (dyspnea/shortness of breath) may be caused due to [[pandu]] roga with pathological signs of anemia (alpa rakta), abnormal fat metabolism(alpa medaska) and depletion of body constituents ([[dhatu]]-kshaya). [Chakrapani Cha.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana ]] 17/1]. That is why this chapter follows the chapter on [[Pandu Chikitsa]]. The term 'Shwasa' denotes physiological process of respiration and pathological sign too. In physiological process, breathing without any distress is seen; however pathological signs can be diagnosed if person suffers any distress during breathing and has to take extra efforts for same.''Hikka'' and ''shwasa'' have common etiological factors (''karana'') like raja (pollen or dust particles), ''dhuma'' (smoke) etc., location (''sthana'') and treatment or ''mula''. For that reason, both conditions are described in the same chapter.
  
=== Introduction ===
+
''Hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are two diseases of serious nature which can be presented at terminal stages of life and as complication of  other diseases [Cha.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 17/6]. These can cause death if not treated properly. The etiological factors, site, origin of both ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are same, and hence the line of treatment is also common. The etiological factors related to food, regimen and mental faculties lead to the aggravation of [[vata]] in the ''pranavaha srotas'' and derangement of [[kapha]] situated in the chest region producing lethal blockage of ''prana vayu''.  
 
 
''Hikka'' (hiccups) and ''shwasa'' (shortness of breath) may be caused due to ''pandu roga''. (Chakrapani Cha. Chi 17/1). That is why this chapter follows the chapter on [[Pandu Chikitsa]]. ''Hikka'' and ''shwasa'' have common etiological factors like raja (pollen or dust particles), ''dhuma'' (smoke) etc. (''karana''), location (''sthana'') and treatment or ''mula''. For that reason, both conditions are described in the same chapter.
 
 
 
''Hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are two diseases of serious nature and can cause death if not treated properly. The etiological factors, site, origin of both ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are same, and hence the line of treatment is also common. The etiological factors related to food, regimen and mental faculties lead to the aggravation of ''vata'' in the ''pranavahasrotas'' and derangement of ''kapha'' situated in the chest region producing lethal blockage of ''pranavayu''.  
 
  
 
The ''maha'' (severe form), ''gambhira'' (having depth) and ''vyapeta'' (originating after food and with complications) types of ''hikka'' are incurable.  If the ''vyapeta'' or ''yamala hikka'' (with two hiccups together) is associated with symptoms of emaciation, delirium, pain, excess thirst and stupor then it is incurable for treatment, while it is curable in non emaciated and mentally strong individual with unimpaired ''dhatus'' and ''indriyas'' performing their normal function. ''Kshudra hikka'' (minor variety)  and ''annaja hikka'' (due to improper food intake)  are curable types of ''hikka''. ''Maha'' (severe form), ''urdhva'' (shallow respiration) and ''chinna'' (irregular pattern dyspnea) ''shwasa'' are incurable and lead to death very fast. ''Tamaka'' (with black outs) and ''kshudra shwasa'' (minor variety) are curable if patient is strong, and disease is in early stage, while in weak patients they are ''yapya'' (work as palliatives).

The patient suffering from ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' should be treated with oleation, unctuous sudation to liquefy the accumulated ''kapha'', soften the channels and to facilitate ''vatanulomana'' (movement of ''vata'' in its normal direction). This should be followed by the administration elimination therapy in the form of ''vamana'' (emesis therapy), ''virechana'' (purgation), ''nasya'' and following of wholesome diet and regimen. The palliative medications should be administered keeping in view the condition of patient and stage of disease. Avoiding the causative factors and following wholesome regimen is important to prevent progress of disease and to reverse the pathogenesis. In brief ''shodhana'' followed by ''brimhana'' therapy (nourishing therapy) and ''shamana'' treatment (palliative therapy) are the ideal management methods in ''hikka'' and ''shwasa''.

All diseases of respiratory system and channels transporting vital breath (pranvaha srotas) are treated based on the principles of management of shwasa laid down in this chapter. [Cha. Sa.[[Vimana Sthana]] 5/26]

Agnivesha , an intelligent disciple,  asked his doubt with modest salute of folded hands to Lord Atreya, who has the knowledge about the subject and principles of the Vedas “The diseases are categorized under two categories (''samanyaja'' and ''nanatmaja'') of three ''dosha'' (''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'') aggravated due to three factors (like unwholesome utilization of sense organs (''asatmendriyartha samyoga''), intellectual errors (''pajnaparadha'') and advent of maturity of time (''parinama'')). Which among these diseases is most difficult to cure?” [3-4]

After listening to Agnivesha, Lord Punarvasu, the most prudent among the sages was very delighted and made ultimate and conclusive statement. “In fact there are many diseases which can kill a patient. But none of the diseases is as lethal as ''shwasa'' and ''hikka'' as they can cause immediate death. The person suffering from any other disease can also get eventually  afflicted with enormously painful ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' at the time of death.”[3-7]

''Hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are mainly ''kapha'' and ''vata'' dominant in nature. They originate at the site of ''pitta'' (upper part of stomach). This results in further depletion of ''dhatus'' like ''rasa'' situated in heart. Hence generally they are extremely difficult to treat. After getting afflicted with this disease, if one indulges in unwholesome regimens, then disease gets aggravated and results in death just  as from fatal snake venom.  [8-9]

*''Mahahikka'': [[Vata]] along with [[kapha]] affects the throat of an individual whose [[mamsa dhatu]] (muscles), strength, ''prana'' and [[agni]] are depleted. It further produces remarkably loud and resonant hiccups occurring in bouts of two or three constantly. The blockage of ''pranavaha srotas'' (channels carrying ''prana'').
*''Vayu'' along with aggravated ''kapha'' obstructs the ''pranavaha srotas'' and ''marma jatharagni'' resulting in loss of consciousness, stiffness in the body and also obstructs the channels of food and drinks. There is impairment of memory, tears in the eyes and stiffness in the temples and displacement of eyebrows. He suffers from delirium along with obstruction of speech, which does not get relief by any means. ''Maha hikka'' is ''mahamula'' (deep rooted), ''mahavega'' (massive attack), ''mahashabda'' (very loud sound), ''maha bala'' (very strong). This can lead to death immediately, hence named as ''mahahikka''. [21-26]

Excessive aggravation of ''kapha'' and ''vayu'' in an aged, emaciated and mentally depressed individual leads to ''hikka''. This ''hikka'' is characterised by deep and resonant sound, and affliction of the chest. He yawns, contracts and expands his body, and while respiring he contracts both the flanks making murmuring sounds, and suffers from stiffness and pain. In such a patient the ''hikka'' arises from the umbilicus or ''pakvashaya'' (intestines) with pain all over the body. During this time his body bends and he suffers from black outs, obstruction in the respiratory tract and loss of strength and unconsciousness. Such ''hikka'' is known as ''gambhira hikka'' which ultimately results in death. [27-30]

The ''vyapeta hikka'' produced after the intake of four types of food (i.e. eatable, chewable, drinkable, lickable) and gets aggravated after food gets digested. He suffers from delirium, vomiting, diarrhea, thirst and unconsciousness. There is yawning, watering of eyes, dryness of mouth and bending of the body, and ''adhmana'' (distension of the abdomen). This ''hikka'' originates from the root of the clavicle and attack is not continuous. ''Hikka'' is injurious to life. [31-33]

The ''vayu'' gets slightly aggravated in the ''koshtha'' (alimentary tract), due to the physical exercises and reaches the throat and produces ''kshudra hikka''. This does not produce much pain and does not afflict the head and vital parts (''hridaya marma''). In this type of ''hikka'', the ''doshas'' do not reside or get lodged in the channels of respiration, food and drinks. This gets aggravated on exertion and subsides on taking food. ''Hikka'' gets subsided by itself also. The ''doshas'' are situated in cardiac region, ''kloma'', throat and palate. This mild form of ''hikka'' is curable and known as ''kshudra hikka''. [35-37]

The vitiated ''kapha'' obstructs channels of respiration leading to aggravation of ''vata'' resulting in prolonged expiration and shallow inspiration (breath doesn’t get deeply inspired). The patient looks up with moving eye balls as if he is scared of something. When he gets afflicted with this type of ''shwasa'' he suffers from unconsciousness, dryness of mouth, restlessness. The upward movement of ''vayu'' is aggravated resulting in obstruction of downward movement and unconsciousness, black outs and he succumbs to death quickly. [49-51]

In a patient of ''tamaka shwasa'' if ''jwara'' (fever) and unconsciousness are occurring as complication, then it is called as ''pratamaka shwasa''. The ''shwasa'' produced due to ''udavarta'' (upward movement of ''vayu'' in ''koshtha''), dust, indigestion, excessive liquid accumulation in the body (''klinna kaya''), and suppression of natural urges results in increase of ''tama''. This gets relieved by following of cooling regimen. The person suffering from this ''shwasa'' feels as if he is submerged in darkness, thus it is known as ''santamaka''.[63-64]

Due to intake of dry food and exertion, ''vata'' is mildly vitiated in ''koshtha'' and moves in the upward direction i.e respiratory tract resulting in ''kshudra shwasa''. The patient suffering from this type of ''shwasa'' does not have any affliction of various body parts and the functions are not affected. It is not very painful as it does not affect the channels of food and drinks nor does it cause pain to the sense organs. This is curable if the symptom is not completely manifested and the patient is strong. Thus all the types of ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are elaborated along with their signs and symptoms.[65-67]

Initially the patient suffering from ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' should be treated with massage with combination of rock salt and sesame oil over the chest region followed by administration of unctuous sudation by means of ''nadi sveda'' or ''prastara sveda'' or ''sankara sveda''. By this the clogged ''kapha'' gets liquefied in the channels and the channels become soft and ''vata'' moves in the downward direction (''vatanulomana''). As the ice on the top of the mountain gets liquefied by the rays of the sun, the ''kapha'' accumulated in the ''srotasa'' get liquefied by ''swedana''.

After the administration ''snehana'' (oleation) and ''swedana'' (sudation), one has to give rice along with unctuous substances. The meat soup prepared from fish or pig or curds in large quantity should be taken in meals. When the ''kapha'' gets aggravated due to above mentioned means ''vamana'' (emesis therapy) should be administrated with powder of ''pippali'' (piper longum Linn), ''saindhava'' (rock salt) and honey. While selection of the drugs care should be taken not to administer the ''vata'' aggravating drugs. After the expulsion of vitiated ''kapha'' the patient feels relieved as the ''vata'' gets alleviated and moves in the normal direction as obstructed ''srotas'' are cleared. [70-76]

Liquefying kapha by snehana( massage) with oil mixed with rock salt 2.  Channelizing and further liquefying it to get expelled out by swedana (sudation) 3. Intake of unctuous food for increasing quantity of kapha ( in order to make it convenient to get expelled out as seen in mucolyic drugs) and pacification of vata 4.

 +
 
 +
== Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences ) ==
 +
 
 +
=== Origin of diseases ===
 +
 
 +
The origin of hikka shwas diseases occurs at the site of [[Pitta]] [[dosha]] ([[Pitta]] sthana) which is lower part of stomach and duodenum from undigested food substances. [Chakrapani Cha.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 17/8] The upper part of stomach is referred to as the site for kapha dosha,.[Chakrapani Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 20/8]. Therefore the lower end of stomach and duodenum is considered as the site of origin of shwasa and hikka. Derangement of digestion and metabolism is an important basic pathological event leading to vitiation of kapha and its manifestation (vyakti sthana) in chest.
 +
 
 +
=== Pathogenesis ===
 +
 
 +
Derangement of digestion and metabolism (agnimandya) causes malformation and nourishment of all body tissues ([[dhatu]]). This further leads to vitiation of [[kapha]] and [[pitta]] [[dosha]] resulting in increase in [[vata]] [[dosha]]. [Chakrapani Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 6/34]
 +
 
 +
===Causes of shwasa ===
 +
 
 +
The etiological factors of shwasa can be classified as:
 +
 
 +
'''Exogenous factors:'''
 +
 
 +
Pollen and air pollutants (raja), fumes (dhuma), exposure to wind (prag-vata sevan), injury to vital organs (marmaghata), injury to throat, chest (kantha uras pratighat), staying at cold place (sheeta sthana sevana)
 +
 
 +
'''Endogenous factors:'''
 +
 
 +
#Vata vitiating causes: food with dry properties (ruksha aahara), cold water and drinks (sheeta ambu sevan), exercise (vyayama), excess walking (adhva sevana)
 +
#Kapha vitiating causes: Meats of marshy and aquatic animals (jalaja-anup mamsa), curd (dadhi), [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lablab Lablab purpurens L.](nishpav), black gram (masha), sesame paste (pinyak), heavy to digest food (guru-bhojana), milk (ksheera).
 +
#Metabolic toxins provoking factors (aam pradoshaja hetu): irregular diet (vishamashana), curd (dadhi), food causing obstruction in channels (abhishyandi), improperly boiled milk (aam ksheera), heavy to digest food (guru bhojana)
 +
 
 +
'''Factors causing defective body systems (Khavaigunyakar):'''
 +
 
 +
Pollen (raja), fumes (dhuma), excess walking (adhvasevana), wrestling (dvandva), chest injury (kshatakshaya), injury to vital organs (marma ghata).
 +
 
 +
'''Co-morbid conditions (nidanarthakara roga):'''
 +
 
 +
Rhinitis (pratishyaya), cough(kasa) and disorders due to reverse functions of vata (udavarta).
 +
 
 +
'''Diseases causing defects in site of origin (mula sthana dushtikar vyadhi):'''
 +
 
 +
Diarrhoea (atisara), fever (jwara), vomitting (Chchardi), cholera (visuchika),and sluggish bowel (alasaka)
 +
 
 +
'''Disease provoking factors (preraka hetu):'''  
 +
 
 +
Cloudy atmosphere(meghambu),  cold exposure and consumption (sheet sevana),direct exposure to air(prak-vata ), exposure to pollen and pollutants (raja), fumes(dhuma) and physical exertion (vyayama).
 +
 
 +
'''Complication of kasa:'''
 +
 
 +
Shwasa results due to chronicity/complication of [[kasa]]. [A.H.NI.4/1]
 +
 
 +
=== Hikka ===
 +
 
 +
Continuous stimulation of diaphragm causes bouts of hiccups. Due to which the air is expelled out with loud sound (mahasabdha) and due to continuous diaphragmatic movement the patient is unable to eat (margam chaivannapananam runaddhi). Severe and prolonged hiccups may lead to exhaustion, fatigue, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration and even death in the extreme situations.

Continuous stimulation of diaphragm causes bouts of hiccups. Due to which the air is expelled out with loud sound (mahasabdha) and due to continuous diaphragmatic movement the patient is unable to eat (margam chaivannapananam runaddhy). Severe and prolonged hiccup may lead to exhaustion, fatigue, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration and even death in the extreme situations.
 
 
The hyperventilation due to hiccups can lead to hypocapnia i.e. reduced level of CO2 in blood leading to cerebral vasoconstriction, leading to cerebral hypoxia and this can cause transient dizziness (upahatasmruteh), visual disturbances, and anxiety.

Pranvahasrotas involves the respiratory centre in the brain (prano atra murdhaga) alongwith respiratory tract from nasal cavity till the alveoli. Role of hridaya is also significant. The cardio-pulmonary relationship can be easily understood in diseases like left ventricular failure with marked decrease in ejection fraction and pulmonary congestion leading to respiratory distress. Hridaya is mulasthan for rasavahasrotas. Rasa and rakta dhatu are part and parcel of udakvahasrotas. The content of udakvahasrotas is decided by the gastro intestinal tract. Thus one can understand why mahasrotas has been mentioned as mulasthan of pranvahasrotas.

Matta rishabha eva nisha (like a bull): explains the nasal flares. Nasal flaring is when the nostrils widen while a person is breathing. It is a sign that the person is having difficulty breathing. It is most commonly seen in children and infants; in those cases nasal flaring can indicate respiratory distress. Respiratory distress occurs in connection with various physical ailments, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, a serious reaction to various forms of injuries to the lung, and infant respiratory distress syndrome, a syndrome in premature infants caused by developmental insufficiency of surfactant production and structural immaturity in the lungs.

In chronic cases of Shwasa, internal administration of unctuous substance (abhyantara [[snehana]]) in pure form or medicates formulation like dashamula ghrita is useful to control [[vata]] [[dosha]]. This reduces dryness (kharatva) of respiratory tract (pranavah srotas) and pacifies movement of [[vata]] (vatanulomana). In chronic stage of svasa, [[vata]] becomes more dominant while in new cases [[Kapha]] dominancy is observed.<ref> Personal email communication by Dr. Mali Pawan, dt. January 03, 2020 </ref>

Drugs prescribed for [[Pandu]], [[Shotha]] and [[Kasa]] may be used in the management of Shwasa(Su.Utt 51/43). Drugs prescribed for [[Kasa]], Kshaya, chhardi and hikka can be used for Shwasa.(A.H.ch.59)

Abstract

The chapter deals with the etio-pathogenesis and management of hikka (hiccups) and shwasa (dyspnea). The general causative factors include dietary and environmental pathogens and specific pathogenesis is due to involvement of vata and kapha as major dosha. Thus five types of hikka and shwasa are elaborated. The classification is based upon clinical presentation of disease and includes three types each of hikka and shwasa with bad prognostic signs pointing to imminent death. The description comprehends basic principles of management focused on removing obstruction of kapha and allowing proper flow of vata by means of purification therapies, sudation, nasal errhines, medicated smoking and various formulations. The management emphasizes on nourishment and pacification therapies to successfully treat and prevent shwasa and hikka conditions. Depletion therapies are strongly contra-indicated as they may worsen the condition of patient and disease.

Keywords: Shwasa, hikka, dyspnea, hiccups, tamaka shwasa, bronchial asthma, respiratory disorders, vamana, therapeutic emesis, virechana, therapeutic purgation, swedana, sudation.


Introduction

Hikka (hiccups) and shwasa (dyspnea/shortness of breath) may be caused due to pandu roga with pathological signs of anemia (alpa rakta), abnormal fat metabolism(alpa medaska) and depletion of body constituents (dhatu-kshaya). [Chakrapani Cha.Sa. Chikitsa Sthana 17/1]. That is why this chapter follows the chapter on Pandu Chikitsa. The term 'Shwasa' denotes physiological process of respiration and pathological sign too. In physiological process, breathing without any distress is seen; however pathological signs can be diagnosed if person suffers any distress during breathing and has to take extra efforts for same.Hikka and shwasa have common etiological factors (karana) like raja (pollen or dust particles), dhuma (smoke) etc., location (sthana) and treatment or mula. For that reason, both conditions are described in the same chapter.

Hikka and shwasa are two diseases of serious nature which can be presented at terminal stages of life and as complication of other diseases [Cha.Sa. Chikitsa Sthana 17/6]. These can cause death if not treated properly. The etiological factors, site, origin of both hikka and shwasa are same, and hence the line of treatment is also common. The etiological factors related to food, regimen and mental faculties lead to the aggravation of vata in the pranavaha srotas and derangement of kapha situated in the chest region producing lethal blockage of prana vayu.

The maha (severe form), gambhira (having depth) and vyapeta (originating after food and with complications) types of hikka are incurable. If the vyapeta or yamala hikka (with two hiccups together) is associated with symptoms of emaciation, delirium, pain, excess thirst and stupor then it is incurable for treatment, while it is curable in non emaciated and mentally strong individual with unimpaired dhatus and indriyas performing their normal function. Kshudra hikka (minor variety) and annaja hikka (due to improper food intake) are curable types of hikka. Maha (severe form), urdhva (shallow respiration) and chinna (irregular pattern dyspnea) shwasa are incurable and lead to death very fast. Tamaka (with black outs) and kshudra shwasa (minor variety) are curable if patient is strong, and disease is in early stage, while in weak patients they are yapya (work as palliatives).

The patient suffering from hikka and shwasa should be treated with oleation, unctuous sudation to liquefy the accumulated kapha, soften the channels and to facilitate vatanulomana (movement of vata in its normal direction). This should be followed by the administration elimination therapy in the form of vamana (emesis therapy), virechana (purgation), nasya and following of wholesome diet and regimen. The palliative medications should be administered keeping in view the condition of patient and stage of disease. Avoiding the causative factors and following wholesome regimen is important to prevent progress of disease and to reverse the pathogenesis. In brief shodhana followed by brimhana therapy (nourishing therapy) and shamana treatment (palliative therapy) are the ideal management methods in hikka and shwasa. All diseases of respiratory system and channels transporting vital breath (pranvaha srotas) are treated based on the principles of management of shwasa laid down in this chapter. [Cha. Sa.Vimana Sthana 5/26]

Agnivesha , an intelligent disciple, asked his doubt with modest salute of folded hands to Lord Atreya, who has the knowledge about the subject and principles of the Vedas “The diseases are categorized under two categories (samanyaja and nanatmaja) of three dosha (vata, pitta and kapha) aggravated due to three factors (like unwholesome utilization of sense organs (asatmendriyartha samyoga), intellectual errors (pajnaparadha) and advent of maturity of time (parinama)). Which among these diseases is most difficult to cure?” [3-4]

Atreya’s reply and nature of disease of shwasa and hikka

After listening to Agnivesha, Lord Punarvasu, the most prudent among the sages was very delighted and made ultimate and conclusive statement. “In fact there are many diseases which can kill a patient. But none of the diseases is as lethal as shwasa and hikka as they can cause immediate death. The person suffering from any other disease can also get eventually afflicted with enormously painful hikka and shwasa at the time of death.”[3-7]

Predominance of dosha and affliction of dhatu

Hikka and shwasa are mainly kapha and vata dominant in nature. They originate at the site of pitta (upper part of stomach). This results in further depletion of dhatu like rasa dhatu situated in heart. Hence generally they are extremely difficult to treat. After getting afflicted with this disease, if one indulges in unwholesome regimens, then disease gets aggravated and results in death just as from fatal snake venom. [8-9]

Five types of hikka and shwasa, based on etiology, signs, symptoms and treatment are being elaborated here, listen to them carefully:

  • Environmental factors: Dust, smoke and wind, residing in cold place, use of cold water.
  • Regimen: Excessive exercise, excessive sexual intercourse, excess walking,
  • Diet: Intake of dry food, vishamashana (food in excessive or less quantity at irregular time)
  • Conditions: Accumulation of ama, anaha (constipation associated with flatulence), dryness in the body, excessive depletion (apatarpana), weakness, injury to marmas (vital points), rapid change in exposure to heat and cold, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, rhinitis, kshata (injury), kshaya (wasting), raktapitta (bleeding disorder), udavarta (upward movement of vata), visuchika (enteritis), alasaka (sluggish bowel), pandu (anemia) and intake of poisons can result in hikka and shwasa.
  • Diet: Regular intake of nishpava (beans), masha (black gram), pinyaka (oil cake), tila taila (sesame oil), pishta (cakes and pastry), shaluka (lotus stem), vishtambhi anna (food aggravating vata), vidahi (food causing burning sensations), heavy to digest food, flesh of aquatic and marshy animals, curd, raw milk, abhishyandhi (ingredients leading to obstruction of channels), food aggravating kapha
  • Injury: Injury to throat and chest
  • Others: Various types of vibandha (obstructions) [10-16]

By the above mentioned etiological factors the vata gets aggravated in the pranavahasrotas ( channels carrying prana) and deranges the kapha situated in the chest region producing lethal blockage of pranavayu and five types of dreadful hikka and shwasa. [17-18]

Following are the premonitory symptoms of both the diseases:

Heaviness in throat and chest, astringent taste in mouth, and distension of abdomen are the premonitory symptoms of hikka.

Anaha (constipation with flatulence), pain in the flanks, pain in the cardiac region, abnormal movement of pranavayu are the premonitory symptoms of shwasa.[18-20]

  • Vishesha samprapti: Vata along with kapha blocks the channels carrying prana, udaka and anna and produces hikka.

A List of the signs and symptoms of many types is elaborated further:

  • Mahahikka: Vata along with kapha affects the throat of an individual whose mamsa dhatu (muscles), strength, prana and agni are depleted. It further produces remarkably loud and resonant hiccups occurring in bouts of two or three constantly. The blockage of pranavaha srotas (channels carrying prana).
  • Vayu along with aggravated kapha obstructs the pranavaha srotas and marma jatharagni resulting in loss of consciousness, stiffness in the body and also obstructs the channels of food and drinks. There is impairment of memory, tears in the eyes and stiffness in the temples and displacement of eyebrows. He suffers from delirium along with obstruction of speech, which does not get relief by any means. Maha hikka is mahamula (deep rooted), mahavega (massive attack), mahashabda (very loud sound), maha bala (very strong). This can lead to death immediately, hence named as mahahikka. [21-26]

Excessive aggravation of kapha and vayu in an aged, emaciated and mentally depressed individual leads to hikka. This hikka is characterised by deep and resonant sound, and affliction of the chest. He yawns, contracts and expands his body, and while respiring he contracts both the flanks making murmuring sounds, and suffers from stiffness and pain. In such a patient the hikka arises from the umbilicus or pakvashaya (intestines) with pain all over the body. During this time his body bends and he suffers from black outs, obstruction in the respiratory tract and loss of strength and unconsciousness. Such hikka is known as gambhira hikka which ultimately results in death. [27-30]

The vayu gets slightly aggravated in the koshtha (alimentary tract), due to the physical exercises and reaches the throat and produces kshudra hikka. This does not produce much pain and does not afflict the head and vital parts (hridaya marma). In this type of hikka, the doshas do not reside or get lodged in the channels of respiration, food and drinks. This gets aggravated on exertion and subsides on taking food. Hikka gets subsided by itself also. The doshas are situated in cardiac region, kloma, throat and palate. This mild form of hikka is curable and known as kshudra hikka. [35-37]

The vitiated kapha obstructs channels of respiration leading to aggravation of vata resulting in prolonged expiration and shallow inspiration (breath doesn’t get deeply inspired). The patient looks up with moving eye balls as if he is scared of something. When he gets afflicted with this type of shwasa he suffers from unconsciousness, dryness of mouth, restlessness. The upward movement of vayu is aggravated resulting in obstruction of downward movement and unconsciousness, black outs and he succumbs to death quickly. [49-51]

The vayu moves in the opposite direction due to the obstruction in the respiratory tract, stiffness in the neck, head aggravates the kapha and produces rhinorrhoea, and gurghuraka sound (rhonchi). Exceedingly severe attack afflicts the prana and enhances severity. During severe attack, the patient faints repeatedly, has severe cough and becomes unconscious. The patient finds it difficult to expectorate the phlegm and feels relieved for period of 1 muhurta (3 hours) after expectoration of phlegm. There is hoarseness of voice and patient speaks with difficulty, even he does not get proper sleep, and on lying down he suffers from dyspnea as his flanks are afflicted by vayu. He feels comfortable in the sitting position. He likes hot things. His eye balls are always prominent, there is sweat on the forehead, dryness of the mouth, gets repeated attacks of dyspnea, and it increases and subsides repeatedly. In gets aggravated when appearance of clouds in the sky, rains, cold weather, easterly winds and kapha enhancing food and behavior. The tamaka shwasa having above mentioned features is yapya (palliable) and in the initial stages it is curable disease. [55-62]

In a patient of tamaka shwasa if jwara (fever) and unconsciousness are occurring as complication, then it is called as pratamaka shwasa. The shwasa produced due to udavarta (upward movement of vayu in koshtha), dust, indigestion, excessive liquid accumulation in the body (klinna kaya), and suppression of natural urges results in increase of tama. This gets relieved by following of cooling regimen. The person suffering from this shwasa feels as if he is submerged in darkness, thus it is known as santamaka.[63-64]

Due to intake of dry food and exertion, vata is mildly vitiated in koshtha and moves in the upward direction i.e respiratory tract resulting in kshudra shwasa. The patient suffering from this type of shwasa does not have any affliction of various body parts and the functions are not affected. It is not very painful as it does not affect the channels of food and drinks nor does it cause pain to the sense organs. This is curable if the symptom is not completely manifested and the patient is strong. Thus all the types of hikka and shwasa are elaborated along with their signs and symptoms.[65-67]

Among them the fatal varieties (like maha hikka, gambhira hikka, vyapeta hikka, maha shwasa, urdhva shwasa, chhinna shwasa are incurable types) should not be treated. While the curable and controllable variety of hikka and shwasa should be treated with medicine quickly. If neglected then it destroys the prana of the patient as the fire burns away the dry grass very fast.[68-69]

The etiological factors, site, origin of both hikka and shwasa are same and hence the treatment is also same. Kindly listen attentively the treatment of hikka and shwasa as known by the seers.

Initially the patient suffering from hikka and shwasa should be treated with massage with combination of rock salt and sesame oil over the chest region followed by administration of unctuous sudation by means of nadi sveda or prastara sveda or sankara sveda. By this the clogged kapha gets liquefied in the channels and the channels become soft and vata moves in the downward direction (vatanulomana). As the ice on the top of the mountain gets liquefied by the rays of the sun, the kapha accumulated in the srotas get liquefied by swedana.

After the administration snehana (oleation) and swedana (sudation), one has to give rice along with unctuous substances. The meat soup prepared from fish or pig or curds in large quantity should be taken in meals. When the kapha gets aggravated due to above mentioned means vamana (emesis therapy) should be administrated with powder of pippali (piper longum Linn), saindhava (rock salt) and honey. While selection of the drugs care should be taken not to administer the vata aggravating drugs. After the expulsion of vitiated kapha the patient feels relieved as the vata gets alleviated and moves in the normal direction as obstructed srotas are cleared. [70-76]

The dosha remaining after the administration of vamana treatment should be expelled by means of dhuma (medicated smoking). The haridra (turmeric), roots of eranda (Ricinus communis Linn), laksha (Ficus Lacor Buch-Ham), manahshila (realgar, an Arsenic compound), jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansone BC), are powdered properly and wick is prepared. This wick is smeared with ghee and used for medicated smoking. The barley should be mixed with ghee and used for smoking.

The bee wax, rala (exudate of Shorea robusta Gaertn.) and ghee are kept in inside two mud plates (mallaka samputa). The smoke coming out of it after application of heat should be inhaled for smoking.

Cow’s horn, hair, ligaments are mixed and used for smoking by putting it in dhuma netra. Shyonaka, roots of eranda (Ricinis communis Linn) and kusha (Desmostachya bipinnata Stapf.) should be filled with above mentioned drugs and used as a pipe for smoking. Padmaka (Prunus puddum), guggulu (Commiphora mukul (Hook ex Stocks), agaru (Aquallaria agollacha Roxb) and shallaki (Boswellia serrata Roxb.) are powdered and mixed with ghee and used for smoking. [77-80]

An intelligent doctor in shwasa associated with cough and hoarseness of voice should be administered vamana and in tamaka shwasa virechana should be given with vata-kaphahara medicines.

If the path of flowing water is blocked the enhancing pressure of water breaks the dam similarly the path obstructed by kapha aggravates vata and causes harm, hence always the path of vayu should be cleaned by means of purification. [121-122]

The food, drinks and drugs having kapha-vatahara and ushna (hot) property which facilitate the normal movement of vata (vatanulomana) should be given in the patient of hikka and shwasa.

Hikka shwasa treatment based on dosha: The medicines or food that aggravate vata and destroy kapha or aggravate kapha and alleviate vata must never be used in the treatment.

However drugs that alleviate vata and aggravate kapha can be used in exceptional conditions.

Brimhana(nourishment therapy) administered in hikka and shwasa and its complications make them curable. The shamana treatment (palliative therapy) prevents the complications. Karshana (depletion therapy) makes hikka and shwasa incurable.

Hence shamana (palliative) and brimhana (nourishment) therapy should be done in hikka and shwasa with or without purification of the body. [147-150]

In the chapter of hikka and shwasa the reason for explaining them together, their similarity in causes, treatment, the features and pathyas are explained. Thus in the treatise by Agnivesha, redacted by Charaka and completed by Dridhabala, this concludes the chapter entitled Hikka Shwasa Chikitsa.

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • Hikka and shwasa originate at the site of pitta (upper part of stomach). The nature of disease is mainly kapha and vata dominant. The aggravation leads to depletion of dhatu like rasa situated in heart.
  • The environmental pathogens like dust, pollen, smoke particles, improper diet and lifestyle regimen, and various other obstructions in channels carrying prana can cause the diseases.
  • Hikka and shwasa can originate secondary to various conditions like ama, anaha (constipation associated with flatulence), excess dryness in the body, excessive depletion (apatarpana), weakness, injury to marmas (vital points), frequent exposure to heat and cold, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, rhinitis, kshata (injury), kshaya (wasting), raktapitta (bleeding disorder), udavarta (upward movement of vata), visuchika (enteritis), alasaka (sluggish bowel), pandu (anemia) and intake of poisons. In this case, the treatment will focus on primary disease along with management of hikka and shwasa also.
  • Pranavaha srotasa (channels carrying prana) are mainly involved in the pathogenesis of hikka and shwasa.
  • Vayu along with kapha blocks the channels carrying prana, udaka and anna and produces mahahikka.
  • The protocol for management of shwasa includes:
    • Liquefying kapha by snehana( massage) with oil mixed with rock salt
    • Channelizing and further liquefying it to get expelled out by swedana (sudation)
    • Intake of unctuous food for increasing quantity of kapha (in order to make it convenient to get expelled out as seen in mucolyic drugs) and pacification of vata.
    • Therapeutic emesis to expel out vitiated kapha dosha
    • Medicated smoking with drugs having hot potency to remove remaining kapha dosha
  • Anulomana (treating vata to move in normal direction) is the principle of management for obstructed vata in case of hikka and shwasa.
  • Shwasa associated with cough and hoarseness of voice should be treated with vamana (therapeutic emesis)
  • In tamaka shwasa, virechana (therapeutic purgation) should be given with vata-kaphahara medicines.
  • It is always required to keep the path of vata, clean (respiratory tract) by frequent purification therapies and removing obstruction.
  • Purification therapies like vamana and virechana shall be administered after assessing bala(strength)of patient.
  • The food, drinks and drugs having kapha-vata alleviating properties, ushna (hot) potency and facilitating normal movement of vata (vatanulomana) should be given in the patient of hikka and shwasa.
  • Brimhana (nourishment therapy) administered in hikka and shwasa and its complications make them curable. The shamana treatment (palliative therapy) prevents the complications. Karshana (depletion therapy) makes hikka and shwasa incurable.

Hence strong medicines and therapies leading to depletion of tissues should never be administered in hikka and shwasa patients.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences )

Origin of diseases

The origin of hikka shwas diseases occurs at the site of Pitta dosha (Pitta sthana) which is lower part of stomach and duodenum from undigested food substances. [Chakrapani Cha.Sa. Chikitsa Sthana 17/8] The upper part of stomach is referred to as the site for kapha dosha,.[Chakrapani Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 20/8]. Therefore the lower end of stomach and duodenum is considered as the site of origin of shwasa and hikka. Derangement of digestion and metabolism is an important basic pathological event leading to vitiation of kapha and its manifestation (vyakti sthana) in chest.

Pathogenesis

Derangement of digestion and metabolism (agnimandya) causes malformation and nourishment of all body tissues (dhatu). This further leads to vitiation of kapha and pitta dosha resulting in increase in vata dosha. [Chakrapani Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 6/34]

Causes of shwasa

The etiological factors of shwasa can be classified as:

Exogenous factors:

Pollen and air pollutants (raja), fumes (dhuma), exposure to wind (prag-vata sevan), injury to vital organs (marmaghata), injury to throat, chest (kantha uras pratighat), staying at cold place (sheeta sthana sevana)

Endogenous factors:

  1. Vata vitiating causes: food with dry properties (ruksha aahara), cold water and drinks (sheeta ambu sevan), exercise (vyayama), excess walking (adhva sevana)
  2. Kapha vitiating causes: Meats of marshy and aquatic animals (jalaja-anup mamsa), curd (dadhi), Lablab purpurens L.(nishpav), black gram (masha), sesame paste (pinyak), heavy to digest food (guru-bhojana), milk (ksheera).
  3. Metabolic toxins provoking factors (aam pradoshaja hetu): irregular diet (vishamashana), curd (dadhi), food causing obstruction in channels (abhishyandi), improperly boiled milk (aam ksheera), heavy to digest food (guru bhojana)

Factors causing defective body systems (Khavaigunyakar):

Pollen (raja), fumes (dhuma), excess walking (adhvasevana), wrestling (dvandva), chest injury (kshatakshaya), injury to vital organs (marma ghata).

Co-morbid conditions (nidanarthakara roga):

Rhinitis (pratishyaya), cough(kasa) and disorders due to reverse functions of vata (udavarta).

Diseases causing defects in site of origin (mula sthana dushtikar vyadhi):

Diarrhoea (atisara), fever (jwara), vomitting (Chchardi), cholera (visuchika),and sluggish bowel (alasaka)

Disease provoking factors (preraka hetu):

Cloudy atmosphere(meghambu), cold exposure and consumption (sheet sevana),direct exposure to air(prak-vata ), exposure to pollen and pollutants (raja), fumes(dhuma) and physical exertion (vyayama).

Complication of kasa:

Shwasa results due to chronicity/complication of kasa. [A.H.NI.4/1]

Hikka

Continuous stimulation of diaphragm causes bouts of hiccups. Due to which the air is expelled out with loud sound (mahasabdha) and due to continuous diaphragmatic movement the patient is unable to eat (margam chaivannapananam runaddhi). Severe and prolonged hiccups may lead to exhaustion, fatigue, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration and even death in the extreme situations.

The hyperventilation due to hiccups can lead to hypocapnia i.e. reduced level of CO2 in blood leading to cerebral vasoconstriction, leading to cerebral hypoxia and this can cause transient dizziness (upahatasmruteh), visual disturbances, and anxiety.

Pranvaha srotas includes the respiratory center in the brain (prano atra murdhaga) along with respiratory tract from nasal cavity till the alveoli. Role of hridaya is also significant. The cardio-pulmonary relationship can be easily understood in diseases like left ventricular failure with marked decrease in ejection fraction and pulmonary congestion leading to respiratory distress. Hridaya is site of origin (mula sthana) for rasavaha srotas. Rasa and rakta dhatu are part and parcel of udakvaha srotas. The content of udakvahasrotas is decided by the gastrointestinal tract. Thus one can understand why mahasrotas has been mentioned as mulasthana of pranvahasrotas.

Matta rishabha eva nisha (like a bull)

Nasal flaring (Matta rishabha eva nisha) occurs when a person is having severe difficulty in breathing or respiratory distress. It is most commonly seen in children and infants; Respiratory distress is observed in acute respiratory distress syndrome, a serious reaction to various forms of injuries to the lung, and infant respiratory distress syndrome, a syndrome in premature infants caused by developmental insufficiency of surfactant production and structural immaturity in the lungs.

Management

The management protocol for hikka and shwasa includes following:

  1. Snehana(unction or oleation): Chest massage on the front, back and sides) with hot sesame oil or mahanarayana oil mixed with rock salt
  2. Swedana (sudation): Fomentation with dashamula kwatha or erandamula kwatha vapors by means of steam (bashpa) or through a tube (nadi).
  3. Vamana (therapeutic emesis) with mixture of piper (pippali), rock salt and honey, decoction of yasthtimadhu and madanaphala are also used.
  4. Virechana(therapeutic purgation) with eranda taila (castor oil),draksha kwatha and triphala kwatha
  5. Shamana medicines: Following drugs are used in treatment of hikka and shwasa:
    1. Pippali
    2. Dhattura
    3. Arka
    4. Malla
    5. Abhraka
    6. Maricha
    7. Vasa
    8. Yashtimadhu
  1. Decoctions: Dashamula kwatha, Bharangyadi kwatha, Yastimadhu decoction, Dashamula katutrayadi kashayam
  2. Powder formulations: Sitopaladi churna, talisadi churna, karpuradi churna,Chausashta prahar pippali, Tankana
  3. Other formulations: Shvasakuthara rasa, Suvarna malini vasanta rasa, laghu malini vasanta,Lakshmivilas rasa, Kumarkalyan rasa (in children).
  4. Asava-arishta: Kanakasava, dashamularishta, draksharishta, vasavaleha.

Current researches

In a study, bharangyadi avaleha and vasa avaleha has shown good efficacy in children suffering from tamak shwasa (asthma).[1]. In another study carried out in children suffering from asthma, Ashtangavaleha and Vyaghreehareetakee Avaleha have shown good efficacy.[2]

Management with Shirishavaleha[3], Nithya virechana and Nayopayam kashaya [4], Vasa Avaleha and its granules [5] have also shown efficacy in management of shwasa.

The polyherbal compound Shirishadi formulation in the form of nasal spray and tablet by oral administration has shown potent anti-asthmatic activity in patients of bronchial asthma. It was also been concluded that this polyherbal compound can be used as “Therapeutic Agents” in the management of an acute attack of asthma as well as chronic persistent asthma.[6]

In a study on review of efficacy of different forms of vasa (Adhatoda vasica), it is observed that extract (Ghana), medicated ghee (Vasa Ghrita) , and Vasa Avaleha (Swarasa/ Kwatha) are effective in cases of management of bronchial asthama. [7]

A randomized double blind clinical trial showed that Sameera Pannaga Rasa (arseno-mercurial formulation) has a significant action in cases bronchial asthma. It could decrease total leukocyte count, eosinophil count, ESR and can improve Peak Expiatory Flow Rate along with providing symptomatic relief.[8]

Experience based views

In chronic cases of Shwasa, internal administration of unctuous substance (abhyantara snehana) in pure form or medicates formulation like dashamula ghrita is useful to control vata dosha. This reduces dryness (kharatva) of respiratory tract (pranavah srotas) and pacifies movement of vata (vatanulomana). In chronic stage of svasa, vata becomes more dominant while in new cases Kapha dominancy is observed.[9]

Drugs prescribed for Pandu, Shotha and Kasa may be used in the management of Shwasa(Su.Utt 51/43). Drugs prescribed for Kasa, Kshaya, chhardi and hikka can be used for Shwasa.(A.H.ch.59)
