Chikitsa Sthana Chapter 26, Chapter on the Management of Tri marma (diseases of three vital organs)

Abstract

This chapter highlights the importance of trimarma (three vital organs, viz, cardiovascular system, cerebrovascular system and renal system) and treatment of their diseases. There are one hundred seven vital points (marma) on the body which when injured cause disease, disability or death. Three of these marma are located in hridaya (heart), shira (head) and basti (urinary bladder). Impairment of these three marma can cause life threatening conditions in cardio-vascular system, cerebrovascular system and urinary system respectively. An internal relationship exists between these marma and respective body systems. Disease of one system affects the functioning of the other. The disease conditions caused by impairment of these three marma account for higher mortality and morbidity in society. The present chapter deals with etiology, signs and symptoms, classification, principles of treatment for the diseases pertaining to these three marma. The chapter also includes description of various categories of diseases like diseases of ear, nose, throat, eyes under the heading of diseases of head; diseases like urinary calculi under diseases of renal system.

Introduction

Morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal diseases are leading among global burden to the society. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Cerebrovascular diseases are the fifth leading cause of death.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), per the Media Center Fact Sheet of the World Health Organization (WHO), are the “number one cause of death globally” with an estimated 17.7 million people dying of it in 2015 (31% of global deaths). Last but not least, renal diseases (or chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) afflict 14% of the general population in the US and are one of the major causes of death worldwide .

Marma (vital points) are junctures of muscle, tendons, ligaments, bone tissue, joints, blood vessels and nerves, nervous tissue, which forms the seat of life and it is also said that they are the seat for tridosha, triguna and the atma, hence any injury can be life threatening leading to death.

The word marma is derived from the mru marane dhatu (Sanskrit) which states that any trauma to marma may lead to marana (death) or dysfunction of that particular site. The adhisthana (location) of diseases of marma can be assessed by changes in physiological functions in the body and through type of rogamarga (pathway of pathogenesis). Marma comes under madhyama (middle) rogamarga. Therefore understanding of the rogamarga is essential to analyze the characters of the diseases, related with dushti (pathogenesis).

Following are the sites of three most important marma:

1. Shira marma relates with the brain with the spinal cord comprising the body's central nervous system. This controls all the body activities, conscious communication and automatic operation of organs such as breathing, maintaining blood pressure, and releasing hormones etc.
2. Hridaya marma relates with heart and circulatory system, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. The body tissues need constant nutrition supply to be active, if there is lack of blood supply to the organs, the tissues may die.
3. Basti marma relates with the urinary bladder and renal system plays an important role in elimination of body wastes and regulate blood volume, help to regulate blood pressure, pH and maintains electrolyte balance in the body.

The loss of substance/ body (ashraya) leads to the loss of the substrate/ life (ashrayee) hence, these trimarma should be especially protected against external injury and vatadi dosha. The clinical features of diseases of head as per dosha dominance have already been described in Kiyanta Shiraseeya Adhyaya. In the present context, dosha dominant features observed in diseases of three marma, of eyes, nose, ears and oral cavity are described. The diseases of scalp and hair are also described.

Later, in Trimarmiya Siddhi, the importance of three marma, consequences of their injury and management with Panchakarma procedures is described in detail. In the present chapter, however, management of disorders with medicines only has been described.

Udavarta literally means upward and opposite frequent movement of vata dosha. The term itself suggests pathology of aggravation of vata either due to its own causes or due to obstruction to its movement due to other dosha. If the aggravated vata affects vital marma like heart, brain and urinary bladder, then it can cause serious disorders. The chapter details about the diseases of these three regions with etiological factors, clinical features and management.

There are thirteen types of udavarta based upon suppression of natural urges described in Naveganadharaniya Adhyaya. The diseases vary depending upon vitiation of vata due to respective urges and so is the management of udavarta. In the present chapter, the diseases due to apana vaigunaya (impairment of apana) in the pelvis region due to suppression of urge of flatus, defecation and urination are described. Though, udavarta is dealt in the initial part of the chapter and three marma in latter part, the name of the chapter is given as Trimarmiya Chikitsa, because it emphasizes the management of diseases of three marma. Udavarta can be considered as cause for the diseases of three marma.

The vital organs (marma) are mentioned as 107 in number while enumerating different body parts in Sankhya Sharira. As per the specialists of the subjects, three vital organs, viz, basti (urinary bladder), hridayam (heart) and shira (head) are considered supreme among themselves, because they possess life (prana) in them. Their suffering due to vata, etc. also troubles/ endangers life (prana). Hence to protect these vital organs, the method of protection from the attack of diseases, and their management will be discussed which you may listen (addressed to Agnivesha) [3-4]

Excessive consumption of astringent, bitter, pungent, dry/ ununctuous food, suppression of natural urges, starvation, and excess indulgence of sex excessively aggravates apana vata in the colon. This obstructs downward moving channels and gradually obstructs the movement of stool, urine and the flatus causing udavarta, the serious trouble. [5]

Signs and symptoms of udavarta

Intense and frequent pain in urinary bladder, cardiac region, pelvis, abdomen, and also severe pain in back and sides of chest; flatulence, nausea, cutting pain, piercing pain, indigestion, inflammation of urinary bladder; retention of stool, appearance of nodules in the abdomen, abnormal upward movement of vata, delayed and difficulty in evacuation of dry stool; body becomes rough, ununctuous, and cold and consequently disorders such as fever, dysuria, pravahika (spurious feeling of the need to evacuate stools with straining), cardiac disorders, grahani disorder (malabsorption syndrome), vomiting, blindness, deafness, burning sensation in head, vatodara (affliction of abdomen due to vata), asthila (stony hard tumours), psychological disorders, thirst, hemorrhagic disorders, anorexia, gulma (lump like feeling), cough, dyspnea, rhinitis, facial paralysis and chest pain arise. Many other severe vata disorders are caused by udavarta. Treatment of these ailments will be described hereafter you may listen Agnivesha.[5-10]

Anaha (bloating in upper abdomen) as caused by ama (improperly digested food/product of improper digestion), associated with stiffness in cardiac region, diseases of head and heaviness, retention of belching, common cold should be treated with emesis therapy, langhana (fasting therapy) and pachana (carminatives). [26]

(If the vata is obstructed by fat, kapha, pitta or rakta (vitiated blood) in the disease like gulma (lump like feeling in abdomen), udara (abdominal diseases includes ascites), bradhna (inguinal swelling), piles, splenic enlargement, udavarta (abnormal upward movement of vata), yoni-roga (gynecological diseases), seminal disorders, disorders of fat by the vitiation of kapha, deep-seated vatarakta (gout), sciatica, hemiplegia etc and in such vatika disorders wherein purgation therapy is recommended for cure, Castor oil is an excellent remedy, which should be added with other such ingredients which pacifies aggravated vata and administered along with milk, meat soup, juice or triphala decoction, vegetable soup, cows urine, alcoholic drink etc.

Due to its vata pacifying nature, due to addition of other drugs, and because of its purgative effects, it cures vatika disorders associated with vitiated fat, blood, pitta and kapha. [29-30]

Castor oil should be administered up to the dose of five pala depending on the strength of the person, nature of disease, and the koshta. If the person is weak and is of mridu kosta (laxed bowel) then, castor oil should be given along with food. [31]

Thus ends the treatment of udavarta[26-31]

[32]

Pathogenesis

Signs of vataja dysuria

Severe pain in groins, urinary bladder and genitals and the patient frequently passes urine in small quantity.

Signs of pittaja dysuria

The patient passes yellow or bloody urine with pain and burning sensation frequently and with difficulty. [34]

Signs of kaphaja dysuria

Signs of sannipata dysuria

All the signs and symptoms described above are manifested as all the dosha are aggravated which is the cause for sannipatika type of dysuria which is most difficult type of dysuria for cure. [35]

When the calculus resembles kadamba flower, stony, smooth, prismatic (having three layers) or soft and when it comes in the urinary passage, it obstructs the flow of urine and results in pain in urinary bladder and perineum-sevani (suture below the pudendum and between two testicles), phallus and hypogastric region (region over urinary bladder). Urine is passed in divided streams and because of pain; the patient squeezes the phallus and frequently voids stool and urine. [35-38]

If the passage or bladder is injured by calculus, then the urine is passed with blood (hematuria). When calculus shifts from the passage, the patient passes urine with ease. [39]

If the vitiated blood due to kshata (trauma) or kshaya (emaciation caused by excessive discharge of semen) when accumulated in urinary bladder, it causes obstruction and severe pain in the bladder. Vitiated blood when associate with urine forms the calculus, which causes the distention of abdomen and heaviness in the region of urinary bladder however the patient feels lightness when the calculus passes out. Thus, ends the diagnosis of dysuria (mootra krucchrara). [43-44]

For pittaja type of svarabheda (hoarseness of voice), purgation therapy is useful. In addition, following recipes are useful in this condition:

1. Milk boiled with drugs having sweet taste
2. Sarpirguda
3. Tiktaka ghrita
4. Jivaniya ghrita
5. Vrisha ghrita [285]

Treatment of kaphaja svarabheda

In kaphaja svarabheda (hoarseness of voice), the patient is given strong errhine, purgation, emetic and smoking therapies. He should eat barley diet added with pungent ingredients. He should take the linctus prepared of chavya – Piper retrofractum, bharngi – Clerodendrum serratum, abhaya, sunthi – ginger, pippali – Long pepper, maricha – Black pepper fruit – piper nigrum, yavaksara, and chitraka – Plumbago zeylanica, or the linctus prepared of pippali – Long pepper fruit – Piper longum and pathya (haritaki – Terminalia chebula). He should drink strong wine. [286- 287]

Treatment of raktaja svarabheda

If svarabheda (hoarseness of voice) is caused due to vitiated blood (raktaja), then the patient is given the meat soup of wild animals added with ghee.

The juice of draksha (raisin, Vitis vinifera), vidari (Ipomoea paniculata / Pueraria tuberosa) and sugar- cane added with ghee and sugar.

The entire therapeutic measures prescribed for the treatment of kshayaja kasa and of paittika svarabheda along with venesection therapy are beneficial in raktaja type svarabheda (hoarseness of voice). [288-289]

Treatment of sannipatika svarabheda

Svarabheda (hoarseness of voice) caused by sannipata (simultaneous vitiation of all the three dosha) is treated with all the therapeutic measures prescribed above for the vatika, paittika and kaphaja, except vensection therapy (siravyadha). Thus, in brief, the treatment of svarabheda is described.

This ends the description of the treatment of svarabheda (hoarseness of voice). [290]

To sum up, in human beings, vata, pitta and kapha are located in the basti (region of the urinary bladder, i.e pelvic region), heart (cardiac region) and murdha (head) respectively therefore, the morbid matter located in these places is eliminated from the nearby region appropriately by emetic therapy etc. [291]

As the loka (macrocosm) is afflicted or maintained respectively by the morbidity and normal state of the wind, sun and moon, so also the adhyatma-loka (sentient world or microcosm) is either afflicted or maintained respectively by the morbidity and normal state of vayu, pitta and kapha. [292]

The dosha viz, vayu, pitta and kapha never destroy each other inspite of having contradictory properties, they coexist in a harmonious state. This happens because of their sahaja- satmya (natural wholesome disposition of coexistence), as even fatal poison does not effect snakes [293].

Tattva Vimarsha

• There are one hundred and seven vital points called marma in the body which are junctures of body components and prana (life force) resides in them. Among the ten pranayatana, three marma i.e., shira, hridaya and basti are important.
• If dosha affect these three marma, they will have impact on the prana. Hence their protection is crucial for preservation of health and management of disorders.
• Udavarta means abnormal upward frequent movement of vata dosha. Commonly this condition is caused by suppression of natural urges and vata aggravating factors. Udavarta hampers digestion and metabolism at micro channels. This leads to accumulation of the toxic elements to cause various diseases.
• Vata dosha can be aggravated due to its own causes or due to obstruction by other two vitiated dosha.
• In udavarta, the pathogenesis takes place at pakvashaya (colon) and apana vata is aggravated to turn into opposite movements. The apana can cause various disorders after affecting the sites.
• Anulomana (treatment leading to normal movement of vata) is the principle of treatment in udavarta. This includes therapies for pacification of vata and removing obstruction in its movement.
• In vata predominance, the enema added with sour, salty and oily medicines is administered. In pitta predominance, the enema added with milk is administered. In kapha predominance, the enema added with urine (cow’s urine) is administered.
• The management of udavarta depends upon condition of dosha vitiation and its clinical presentation in patient. Excess unctuousness is treated with dryness and vice versa.
• Emesis therapy, langhana (fasting therapy) and pachana (carminatives) are advised in sama dosha located in upper part of abdomen.
• Castor oil is an excellent remedy for obstruction caused by excess fat, kapha, pitta and rakta.
• Diet and lifestyle factors along with vitiation of annavaha srotasa (gastrointestinal tract) are important causative factors for vitiation of dosha in urinary system disorders. This is caused when the vitiated dosha located in urinary bladder, kidney and urinary system.
• When the aggravated vata dries up semen and urine along with pitta and kapha which is located in urinary bladder the calculus is formed. The clinical presentation and composition of ashmari (calculus) depends upon vitiation of dosha.
• The treatment of ashmari includes massage, unctuous and non-unctuous medicated enema, unctuous poultice, uttara basti (urethral douche) and sekam (affusion) as well as the diet of soup prepared with dosha alleviating drugs. The main dosha shall be treated first.
• Tikshna(sharply acting) and anulomana(facilitating movement) medicines along with specific procedures like riding fast moving vehicle are administered for breaking, moving and flushing out of calculus.
• Diet, lifestyle and psychological factors are responsible for causing heart diseases. The clinical presentation is based upon vitiation of dosha and accordingly treatment is planned. Langhana, pachana and purification are principles of treatment.
• In addition to the dietary and lifestyle causes, environmental factors like change in weather conditions, temperature are responsible for pratishyaya (rhinitis). Kapha/vata dosha with rasa and rakta dushya are vitiating factors in its pathogenesis.
• In diseases of head, eyes, nose, oral cavity and ears, the treatment of local dosha as well as vitiated dosha is important. Local treatment with generalized treatment is advised.
• The route of administration of drug is the nearest route to site of vitiation of dosha.
• Treatment of arochaka (anorexia) due to psychological factors includes counseling therapy and harshana (happiness) therapy.
• In human beings, vata, pitta and kapha are located in the basti (region of the urinary bladder, i.e pelvic region), heart (cardiac region) and murdha (head) respectively. The treatment of dosha located in these places is administered from the nearby region appropriately by medicated enema, purgation and emetic therapy respectively.
• As the loka (macrocosm) is afflicted or maintained respectively by the morbidity and normal state of the wind, sun and moon, so also the adhyatma loka (sentient world or microcosm) is either afflicted or maintained respectively by the morbidity and normal state of vayu, pitta and kapha.
• The dosha viz. vayu, pitta and kapha never destroy each other in spite of having contradictory properties, they coexist in a harmonious state. This happens because of their sahaja satmya (natural wholesome disposition of coexistence).

Vidhi Vimarsha

Understanding concept of udavarta

Udavarta involves obstruction to movement of vata leading to its vitiation and vimarga gamana (movement in improper direction). The vitiated vata then locates to various sites and produces diseases at that site. The basic pathogenesis of udavarta takes place at pakvashaya (colon). Apana vata is vitiated due to excess consumption of astringent, bitter and pungent, dried food items, suppression of natural urges, starvation and excess sexual intercourse. The vitiated apana itself obstructs its own functions and produces retention of feces, flatus and urine in pelvic region. These events occur frequently to cause udavarta.

This leads to increased intra-abdominal pressure, hampering functions of various organs. This results in frequent severe pain in urinary bladder, cardiac region, pelvis, flanks, back region, abdominal distension, nausea, fissure in ano, pricking pain, indigestion, cystitis, constipation, dryness, hardness in stool and delayed passage of stools.

These pathological events produce various disorders of vata at various sites.

Therefore, management is targeted to remove the apana sanga by vitiated apana. Pacification of apana by various unctuous and purification enema, massage, fomentation therapies is indicated.

Anulomona (carminatives) for proper movement of vata and anal suppositories are indicated to facilitate the action of vata in pelvic region.

Therapeutic purgation with castor oil with proper concoction is prescribed to remove obstruction by excess meda, kapha, pitta and rakta. Obstruction by fat and excess unctuous substances indicates pathogenesis of dyslipidemia causing atherosclerosis and cerebro-vascular disease. This is dealt in more detail in context of pakshaghata in Vatavyadhi Chikitsa.

Examination: Clinical examination of palpation of abdomen for distension, assessment of obstruction and per rectal examination is done.

Investigations: Ultra sonography of abdomen and pelvis can reveal the exact nature of obstruction.

Diseases and management of urinary system

Causes

Difficulty in micturition is caused specifically by excess exertion, sharply acting medicines, wines causing dryness in body, excess coitus and frequent riding on fast moving vehicle. Apart from this eating meat of marshy animals, fishes, frequent over eating, indigestion can cause urinary disorders.

Severe depletion of body tissues, direct or indirect trauma to pelvic region can lead to diseases of urinary system.

These causes have role in formation of volume of urine, water-acid-base balance in body. The function of urine is to carry excess kleda (moisture) outside body. Kleda is produced as a byproduct of digestion and micro-cellular metabolism. These specific dietary items can cause dis-equilibrium of kleda leading to impairment of functions of urinary system and its disorders.

Urine formation is function of kapha dosha and is excreted by vata dosha. Therefore, these two dosha are vitiated in cases of urinary disorders.

Clinical features

The clinical features can be examined on the criteria like volume, color, flow, frequency and turbidity of urine and associated symptoms like pain, burning, heaviness and swelling. The clinical features are observed based upon the dominance of dosha in disorders as given in table:

Criteria	Vata dominance	Pitta dominance	Kapha dominance
Volume	Less	Medium	More
Flow	Less	Medium	More
Frequency	More	Medium	More
Color/turbidity	-	Yellow-Red	Turbid
Associated complaints	Severe pain in pelvis, bladder and phallus	Burning and pain	Heaviness and swelling

Mutrashmari (urinary calculus), mutra sharkara (gravel) and shukrashmari (calculi of dried up semen)

The calculus is formed due to drying of urine or semen by vitiated doshas. This causes obstruction in urination or ejaculation respectively. The clinical features mainly include abdominal pain in lumbar region radiating to back, painful and burning micturition with decreased quantity. In case of semen calculi, painful ejaculation is observed.

Examination: On palpation, tenderness in lumbar region based upon site of ashmari is observed.

Investigation: Microscopic examination of urine is done for presence of crystals of calculi and red blood cells. The types of calculi are also assessed. Radiological screening like X-ray and ultra-sonography is done to assess the size, shape and exact location of calculi in urinary system.

Causes, prevalence, clinical features and management of diseases of heart

Causes of heart diseases

Cardio vascular diseases are considered as major cause of death among non-communicable diseases. Faulty diet, lifestyle and stress are etiological factors. Apart from that, iatrogenic factors such as mis-administration of purgation therapy and enema as well as excess use of medicines are enlisted among the causes.

Improper exercise can lead to heart diseases. Indigestion can cause heart diseases. In the hridaya (heart), the ten dhamani (ten great vessels arising from the heart), prana, apana, manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), chetana (life), mahabhutas (five fundamental elements) are situated just like spokes to the axle in a wheel.(Cha.Si.9/5). Moreover, the heart is the root of rasavaha srotasa, location of vyana vayu, sadhaka pitta and avalambaka kapha. It is also the supreme site of consciousness and mind. Therefore, any event that affects functions of heart involves all these factors. Heart shall be protected specifically from the psychological miseries. (Cha.Su.30).

Consequences of injury to heart: Injury to the hridaya leads to kasa (cough), shwasa (breathlessness), balakshaya (weakness), kantha shosha (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 (incoherent speech), chittanasha (loss of mental integrity), etc. (Cha.Si.9/6)

The clinical features and diagnosis of sub-types depends upon dosha dominance as follows:

Criteria	Vata dominant	Pitta dominant	Kapha dominant
Feeling in cardiac region	Emptiness	Burning	Heaviness
Heart rate	Tachycardia/Palpitations	-	Bradychardia
Rhythm	Arrhythmia	-	-
Pain	Prickly sensation	Burning sensation	Congestion
Associated features	Unconsciousness	Fainting, giddiness, black out, fever	Salivation, fever, cough
Mental Status	Confusion	Distress	Dullness/Drowsiness

Assessment and diagnosis

Blood pressure monitoring, electro-cardiograph (ECG), echo-cardiograph, coronary angiography are useful in diagnosis and assessment the cardiac status.

Treatment

Preventive aspect

Prevention of cardiac diseases can be done by following dietary regulations, lifestyle modifications, Panchakarma (body purification therapies), psychotherapies as per dosha dominance in prakriti.

The management emphasizes upon prevention of any obstruction to flow of vata dosha. Facilitating the movement of vata in its proper direction is the key factor in management of heart diseases. The flow of vata with respect to cardiac functions is observed in respiration, digestive processes, nervous conduction, and blood circulation. If there is any obstruction in any of these functions, then cardiac function is affected. Hence the preventive and curative aspect focuses on proper unobstructed functioning of vata in body.

Causes, prevalence, clinical features and management of diseases of head:

Shiras (head) is the site of the indriyas (the seat of special senses), the srotas (channels) pertaining to the conduction of indriya and prana.(Cha.Si.9/5) Moreover, prana vayu and tarpaka kapha are located in head. Alochaka pitta is specifically located in eyes. All the indriyas are controlled by mind. Hence the coordination of mind and senses takes place at head.

Complex structures of brain and spinal cord, roots of nervous system are located in head. All the functions of nervous system are regulated by brain and spinal cord. Twelve cranial nerves are important to be considered in this context.

Consequences of head injury:

Injury to the shiras (head) 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.(Cha.Si.9/6)

All the above diseases are observed due to dysfunction of cranial nerves.

Clinical features:

Clinical features are observed as per dosha dominance and described in the text in Kiyanta Shiraseeya Adhyaya.

Diagnosis and assessment:

Diagnosis of diseases of head is generally based upon history, clinical examination of signs and symptoms of patient. Assessment of frequency, nature and severity of disease are important. Specific investigations are done for each part like eyes, ears and nose. Advanced investigations like Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography scanning, Positron Emission Tomography scans are useful in detecting the space occupying lesions, degenerative pathologies in the brain and spinal cord.
