<p style="text-align:justify;">This is the first chapter of Roga Chatushka (tetrad on classification of diseases) dealing with description of diseases of the vital organs, the head and the heart. Diseases are caused by disequilibrium of [[dosha]] in body. The signs and symptoms of various permutations and combinations of [[dosha]] imbalances are enlisted in this chapter. It also enlists and describes signs of depletion of [[dhatu]] and [[mala]]. The disorders of [[ojas]] are narrated, which continues with description of madhumeha (diabetes mellitus), and carbuncles produced as its complications. Various types of [[dosha]] gati (movements) are mentioned. The comprehensive information about principles of basic Ayurvedic pathology is included in the chapter. </br>

~~=== Abstract ===~~

−

This is the first chapter of ''Roga Chatushka'' (tetrad of diseases) dealing with description related to diseases of the ''trimarma'' (three vital organs – the head, heart, and the urinary bladder (''basti'')). The etiopathogenesis of these diseases is detailed. Various diseases are caused due to permutations and combinations of ''dosha'' imbalances. The chapter describes signs of depletion of ''dhatu'' and ''mala''. It also highlights the disorders of ''oja'' as well as ''madhumeha'' (diabetes mellitus, a disease of the basti), and carbuncles produced as its complications. This chapter also describes various types of ''dosha gati'' (movements of ''dosha''). The comprehensive information about principles of basic Ayurvedic pathology is included in the chapter.

'''Keywords''': ''Shiroroga'' (diseases of head), ''hridaya roga''(diseases of heart), imbalances in ''dosha'', ''dhatu-kshaya'', ''mala-kshaya, pidaka, madhumeha, dosha-gati, sannipata, samsarga, ojokshaya, ojas,'' signs of depletion of ''dosha, dhatu'' and ''mala'', disorders of ~~''oja''~~, movement of ''dosha''.

−

~~=== Introduction ===~~

−

After describing the guidelines for clinical [~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda~~ Ayurveda] practice in ~~tetrad of previous chapters of ''Nirdesha Chatushka''~~, information about ~~priniciples~~ of basic Ayurvedic pathology in causing disease is detailed in ''Roga Chatushka'' (tetrad on disease information).

+

== Introduction ==

+

+

After describing the guidelines for health care management in clinical [[Ayurveda]] practice in earlier four tetrads, information about principles of basic Ayurvedic pathology in causing disease is detailed in [[Sutra Sthana#Roga Chatushka (four chapters on disease classification)|Roga Chatushka (tetrad on disease information)]].

−

The present chapter begins with an enumeration of diseases afflicting the head and describes the significance of head, followed by ~~the~~ description of five varieties of head ~~diseases~~ with headache as the main symptom and five types of heart diseases with different clinical presentations. Thereafter, sixty two permutations and combinations in the form of ''sannipata'' (involvement of three ~~''doshas''~~) and ''samsarga'' (involvement of two ~~''doshas''~~), based on variations in quantum of increased or decreased state of involved ~~''doshas''~~, along with descriptions of symptoms of twelve varieties of ''sannipata'' have been described in this chapter. Also described are eighteen conditions caused by decrease of ~~''doshas~~, ~~dhatus~~, mala'' and ''ojas'', along with plausible reasons for all the decrease taking place in the body. Further, definition and characteristics of ''ojas'' have been ~~provided~~ in brief with a specific variety of ''Avrita Madhumeha'' (diabetes due to obstructive ''vata'') in which ''ojas'' is excreted ~~out~~ in urine. The description of ''avrita madhumeha'' resembles diabetes mellitus type II (NIDDM) and seems to represent the disease of third ''marma'' (vital organ) i.e. ''basti''. Skin infection is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Therefore it is described in detail under the heading of ''prameha pidika'' (carbuncles). Seven types of inflammatory swellings viz. ''sharavika, kacchapika, jalini, sarshapi, alaji, vinata'' and ''vidradhi'' are described in detail with a disclaimer stating that these can also occur independently due to vitiation of ~~''medas''~~. The chapter ends with references to various ''gati'' (states) of ''dosha'' that are related to health as well as disease.

Also described are eighteen conditions caused by decrease of [[dosha]], [[dhatu]], [[mala]] and [[ojas]], along with plausible reasons for all the decrease taking place in the body. Further, definition and characteristics of [[ojas]] have been discussed in brief with a specific variety of Avrita Madhumeha (diabetes due to obstructive [[vata]]) in which [[ojas]] is excreted in urine. The description of avrita madhumeha (resembles diabetes mellitus type II - NIDDM) and seems to represent the disease of third marma (vital organ) i.e. basti. Skin infection is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Therefore it is described in detail under the heading of prameha pidika(carbuncles). Seven types of inflammatory swellings viz. sharavika, kacchapika, jalini, sarshapi, alaji, vinata and vidradhi are described in detail with a disclaimer stating that these can also occur independently due to vitiation of [[meda dhatu]].

The diseases related to ''trimarma'', or the three vital organs, have also been described in the 26th chapter of [[Chikitsa Sthana]] ~~(titled~~ Trimarmiya Chikitsa ~~adhyaya)~~ and later in 9th chapter of [[Siddhi Sthana]] ~~(titled~~ Trimarmiya Siddhi ~~Adhyaya)~~. While the [[Sutra Sthana]] helps provide the fundamental approaches to treating these diseases, the [[Chikitsa Sthana]] primarily addresses the management aspects and [[Siddhi Sthana]] describes the internal and external traumas of these organs. As per [~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda~~ Ayurveda], there are 107 marmas that are considered to be points of ''prana'' (vital energy) and are located in various parts of the body. It is accepted that injuries to ''marma'' -external, internal or psychological - may either cause immediate death or permanent deformities (some of which may cause complications and death at a later stage). Among these 107 ''marmas'', ~~Charaka~~ has given utmost importance to the head, the heart and the urinary bladder. Among these three, the head is foremost as it is central to all senses and is the prime location of ''prana''. This is the reason why other texts have compared human body with an inverted-tree model (with roots at the top and branches at the bottom).

The ''~~siroroga~~'', or the disease(s) of the head, ~~are~~ various clinical ~~representations~~ of headache and vary depending upon ''dosha''-dominance and ''krimi''-infestation. Though headache is a common form of five major types of ''~~siroroga~~'', different manifestations of headache can give an idea of the predominant ''dosha'' which may further decide the course of treatment. Similarly ''hridroga'' (heart diseases) and diseases associated with the urinary bladder mentioned in this chapter are also due to ''dosha'' predominance and ''krimi'' infestation.

Various permutations and combinations of ''dosha'' have been ~~analysed~~ that help in understanding the pathogenesis of a disease. It is always a matter of debate as to why there are so many diseases and why does a disease have so many different manifestations or forms, depending upon an individual. One answer is that the ''dosha'' involved in pathogenesis varies in the forms of either ''vriddhi'' (increase) or ''kshaya'' (decrease), and that a typical permutation or combination of such ''doshas'' can manifest the disease in a different way. The verses 45, 46, and 47 deal with ''ashayapkarsha'' (pulling ''dosha'' from its location) in which a dominant or increased ''vata'' pulls the normal ''pitta'' and ''kapha'' away from their “seats” and manifests its own features there. Therefore, confusion can occur in the diagnosis and management of the disease. In addition, the concept of ''vikalpa samprapti'' (variable pathogenesis) can be a reason for such varied presentations of the disease, since per ''vikalpa samprapti'', the involvement of various properties of ''dosha'' may differ depending upon the etiological factors. Eighteen types of ''kshaya'' (decreased state) of ''dosha, dhatu,~~'' ''~~mala'' and ''ojas'' that may play a significant role in disease pathogenesis are also considered in this chapter. ''Madhumeha'' (Diabetes mellitus) which is also termed as ''ojomeha'' in other texts is one of the ''prameha'' where excessive ''kshaya'' of ''ojas'' takes place. One of its presentations (or forms) is caused due to ''avaranajanya samprāpti'' (obstructive pathogenesis), as explained in this chapter. ''Madhumeha'' is one among twenty types of ''prameha'' characterised by excessive frequency and quantity of urination. The primary ''dosha'' associated with ''madhumeha'' is ''vata'' and two types of pathogenesis of ''madhumeha'' have been discussed in [[~~Charaka~~ Samhita]]. In the first type, ~~''dhātukshaya''~~ (decreased state of body tissue) causes ''vata'' provocation and all the clinical features of a vitiated ''vata'' are present in the patient of ''kshayaja madhumeha'' (Diabetes mellitus type 1) ~~(Charaka~~ Nidana 4/36-44). In the second type, there is an initial involvement of ''kapha, pitta, mamsa'' and ~~''medas dhātu''~~, that in turn make ''avarana'' (to get covered or overlapped) of ''vata'' leading to manifestation of ''madhumeha'' (diabetes mellitus type 2) where features of ~~k''apha~~, pitta, ~~medas''~~ and ''mamsa dushti'' are also observed. Here, therefore, the main line of treatment (i.e., for Type 2) involves pacifying ''kapha, pitta,~~'' ''medas''~~ and ''mamsa''. Various ''gati'' of ''dosha'' that are responsible for healthy and diseased states are dealt at the end of the chapter. ~~Charaka~~ has also stressed upon the significance of a regular healthy diet. It can be said that in the 17th chapter, a multi-faceted approach to understanding various presentations of diseases has been mentioned, aided with examples.

In the first type, [[dhatu]] kshaya(decreased state of body tissue) causes [[vata]] provocation and all the clinical features of a vitiated [[vata]] are present in the patient of ''kshayaja madhumeha'' (Diabetes mellitus type 1) [Cha.Sa. [[Nidana Sthana]] 4/36-44]. In the second type, there is an initial involvement of [[kapha]], [[pitta]], [[mamsa dhatu]] and [[meda dhatu]], that in turn make ''avarana'' (to get covered or overlapped) of [[vata]] leading to manifestation of ''madhumeha'' (diabetes mellitus type 2) where features of [[kapha]], [[pitta]], [[meda dhatu]] and [[mamsa]] dushti are also observed. Here, therefore, the main line of treatment (i.e., for Type 2) involves pacifying [[kapha]], [[pitta]], [[meda dhatu]] and [[mamsa dhatu]]. Various gati of [[dosha]] that are responsible for healthy and diseased states are dealt at the end of the chapter. Charak has also stressed upon the significance of a regular healthy diet.

While describing "pancha-panchaka" principle of perception by five jnanaindriya, [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 8/3] Charak mentions five [[indriya]] (senses), five [[indriya]] adhisthana(sense organs), five [[indriya]] dravya (specific matter which enable the senses to perceive), five artha (specific objects to be perceived by sense) and five [[indriya]]-buddhi(final sensation). The five [[indriya]] are the five senses and the five [[indriya]] adhisthana are the five external sites of senses for example eyes for vision and ears for hearing, but site of the [[indriya]]-buddhi is not mentioned. In this regard, the following observations may be taken into consideration:

+

Charak mentions that ''prānavāhi srotāmsi'' of [[indriya]] are situated in the head and are connected with the body as sun is connected with its rays. Therefore, diseases such as ardita(facial paralysis), cheshta nasha(paralysis) and disorders of eye movement etc. are due to trauma to the head [Ca. Sa. [[Siddhi Sthana]] 9/4]. In this chapter, the physical location of all the [[indriya]] has been mentioned to be the head, hence on the basis of these observations, it can be concluded that the [[indriya]]-[[buddhi]] are also situated in head.[[Indriya]] [[buddhi] is that vital part of a sense that decides the final knowledge of the perceived object. Hence sense centres situated in the cortex region of the brain represent the [[indriya]] [[buddhi]][12]

+

'''Classification of shiroroga:''' Generally, ''shiroroga'' implies any type of disease afflicting the head. Therefore, Charak enlisted diseases such as hemicrania (''ardhavabhedaka''), headache (''sarvam va rujyati shirah''), coryza (''pratishyaya''), diseases of mouth, nose, eyes and ears which cause headache (''mukha-nasa-akshi-karna-roga''), giddiness/vertigo (''sirobhramah''), facial paralysis (''ardita''), tremors of the head (''shirasah kampa'') and stiffness of the neck, nape and jaw (''gala-manya-hanu-grahah'') as ''shiroroga''. Hence, in general, shiroroga includes diseases occurring in the skull, its orifices and the structure related to it. As per this classification ''shiroroga'' includes ''vatika, paittika, kaphaja, sannipataja'' and ''krimija shiroroga''.

+

In addition, in [[Siddhi Sthana]], four more diseases occurring in the head have been described in detail viz. ''shankhaka, ardhavabhedaka,'' ''suryavarta,'' and ''anantavata''. [Cha.Sa.[[Siddhi Sthana]] 9/71-87] In these ''shiroroga'', [[nasya]](nasal errhines) has been indicated. [Cha.Sa.[[Siddhi Sthana]] 9/88] In all nine ''shiroroga'' (five in this chapter, and four in [[Siddhi Sthana]]) that mention headache as a key symptom. Other varieties of ''shiroroga'' mentioned in other texts are ''raktaja'' and ''kshayaja'' <ref>Sushruta. Uttara Tantra, Cha.25 Shirorogavijnaniya Adhyaya verse 3. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya, Editors. Sushruta Samhita. 8th ed. Varanasi: Chaukhambha Orientalia;2005.</ref> and ''shirah-kampa''. [A.H.Uttara Sthana 23/9]<ref>Vagbhata. Uttara Sthana, Cha.23 Shororogavijnaniya Adhyaya verse 9. In: Harishastri Paradkar Vaidya, Editors. Ashtanga Hridayam. 1st ed. Varanasi: Krishnadas Academy;2000.</ref>(Verse 6)

+

The five types of ''hridroga'' described in this chapter are also caused by vitiated [[dosha]] and ''krimi''. In all these conditions pain in the chest is a common feature, the intensity of which varies according to the involved [[dosha]]. For example in [[vata]], pain is accompanied by extra systole/ fibrillation (''vepathu''), sense of emptiness in the heart region (''shunyata''), and hyperkinetic heart and thrill (''dara''). A ''pittaja'' type ''hridroga'' is indicated by a burning sensation in the precordial region with fainting, giddiness and perspiration. In ''kaphaja'' type ''hridroga'', there is heaviness in the precordial area, ''suptam'' (bradycardia or decreased diastolic stretching) and a stony sensation (pericardial calcification as in constrictive pericarditis) in heart region.

+

Description of ''krimija hridroga'' indicates a very serious condition. As mentioned earlier, infestation starts with one chamber of the heart and then spreads and consumes (''bhakshyanti'') tissues across the entire heart.The patient of ''krimija hridroga'' feels severe pain in the precordial region, as if heart is being pricked/pierced by needles or cut by weapons and is a very grave heart condition that may lead to immediate death. Therefore it is a severe condition and should be promptly diagnosed and managed. It may manifest as chest pain, arrhythmia, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction-like syndrome with normal coronary arteries, ventricular arrhythmia, and loss of right ventricular function leading to sudden death. (Verse 36-40).

Combination of two provoked [[dosha]] leading to a disease is known as ''samsarga'' and when all the three provoked [[dosha]] combine then it is known as ''sannipata''. In the combinations , some [[dosha]] may be in their normal state, while others may be slightly, moderately or excessively increased or in decrease state. Similarly they may be slightly, moderately or significantly decreased. In this way, on the basis of quantum of increase, decrease etc of the [[dosha]], they can be classified into 62 types (verses from 41 to 62) as follows:

−

Indriya Buddhi (centres of senses in the brain): While describing pancha-panchaka principle of perception by five jnanaindriya [Cha. Su. 8/3], Charaka mentions five indriya (senses), five indriya adhisthana (sense organs), five indriya dravya (specific matter which enable the senses to perceive), five artha (specific objects to be perceived by sense) and five indriya-buddhi (final sensation).

Therefore, diseases such as ardita (facial paralysis), ceshtā nāsha (paralysis) and disorders of eye movement etc are due to trauma to the head [Ca Sii 9/4]. In this chapter, the physical location of all the indriya has been mentioned to be the head, hence on the basis of these observations, it can be concluded that the indrya-buddhi are also situated in head.

Hence, in general, shiroroga includes diseases occurring in the skull, its orifices and the structure related to it. As per this classification shiroroga includes vatika, paittika, kaphaja, sannipataja and krimija shiroroga.

+

***Three conditions of ''sannipata'' where one [[dosha]] is increased but the other two [[dosha]] are excessively increased in comparison.

−

In addition, in Siddhi Sthana, four more diseases occurring in the head have been described in detail viz. shankhaka, ardhavabhedaka, suryavarta, and anantavata [Ca Si 9/71-87]. In these shiroroga, nasya(nasal errhines) has been indicated [Ca Si 9/88]. In all nine shiroroga (five in this chapter, and four in Siddhi Sthana) that mention headache as a key symptom. Other varieties of shiroroga mentioned in other texts are raktaja and kshayaja [Sushruta Uttara 25/3] and shirah-kampa [As Hr.Uttara 23/9].(Verse 6)

In this way, 62 conditions of various combinations of normal, increased and decreased dosha have been mentioned in this chapter(verses from 41 to 62), of which only 12 types are described in detail. Chakrapāni mentions that combinations of dosha may occur in two ways i.e. prakriti-sama-samveta and vikriti-vishama-samveta. Prakriti-sama-samveta akin to a sugar and salt solution in water where the tastes of sugar and salt remain intact and in such types of samsarga or sannipata of doshas, no specific description is given in the text but simply mentioned that mix features of involved doṣha will present.

−

On the other hand, vikriti-vishama-samveta a combination of provoked doshas wherein new symptoms are produced that are neither of any of the doshas involved. For example, red colour appears on mixing of white lime and yellow turmeric, and in such a case the specific symptoms produced by the combination are described. Here in 17th chapter, specific symptoms of 12 types of vikriti-vishama-samveta sannipata are given in detail, but symptoms of sama sannipata are not given as it is prakriti-sama-samveta (Verses 41-72).

Ojas: Ojas is well known and defined in Ayurveda in terms of its functions, its importance, its types and its sites of functions within the body. It has been described in this text as a clear and slightly red-yellowish fluid situated in the heart is known as ojas, the destruction of which leads to death. Its colour resembles to that of ghee, taste is like honey and its smell is like that of roasted paddy (Verses 73-75). But its interpretation in modern physiological terms is confusing. In this chapter a hint has been given in this regard that ojas is a first thing created in the body of all living creatures. The symptoms of diminished ojas include timidity, debility, constant worry, discomfort of the senses, loss of lustre, neurasthenia, dryness and emaciation.

+

In this way, 62 conditions of various combinations of normal, increased and decreased [[dosha]] have been mentioned in this chapter(verses from 41 to 62), of which only 12 types are described in detail. Chakrapāni mentions that combinations of [[dosha]] may occur in two ways i.e. [[prakriti]]-sama-samveta and [[vikriti]]-vishama-samveta''.

~~Āvarita~~ madhumeha (type 1 Diabetes mellitus): Two scenarios that cause provocation of vata have been mentioned: decrease of dhatu (dhatu kshaya) and avarana(cover) [Cha. ~~Chi~~. 28/59]. The description of madhumeha, provided earlier in this chapter, provides a good example of ~~aavarana~~. That a provoked or vitiated vata causes madhumeha has also been reiterated in the Nidana Sthana. All the factors that cause decrease of body tissues lead to provocation of ~~vāta~~. But even though madhumeha is caused by a vitiated vata, its etiological factors also cause an increase in kapha and pitta. The comparison of nidana of madhumeha mentioned in these two different references is tabulated here:

'''[[Ojas]]''':

+

[[Ojas]] is well known and defined in [[Ayurveda]] in terms of its functions, its importance, its types and its sites of functions within the body. It has been described in this text as a clear and slightly red-yellowish fluid situated in the heart is known as [[ojas]], the destruction of which leads to death. Its colour resembles to that of ghee, taste is like honey and its smell is like that of roasted paddy (Verses 73-75). But its interpretation in modern physiological terms is confusing. In this chapter a hint has been given in this regard that [[ojas]] is a first thing created in the body of all living creatures. The symptoms of diminished [[ojas]] include timidity, debility, constant worry, discomfort of the senses, loss of lustre, neurasthenia, dryness and emaciation.

+

'''''Avarita madhumeha (type 2 Diabetes mellitus)''''':

+

Two scenarios that cause provocation of [[vata]] have been mentioned: decrease of [[dhatu]]([[dhatu]] kshaya) and ''avarana''(cover).[Cha.Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/59] The description of ''madhumeha'', provided earlier in this chapter, provides a good example of ''avarana''.That a provoked or vitiated [[vata]] causes ''madhumeha'' has also been reiterated in the [[Nidana Sthana]]. All the factors that cause decrease of body tissues lead to provocation of [[vata]]. But even though ''madhumeha'' is caused by a vitiated [[vata]], its etiological factors also cause an increase in [[kapha]] and [[pitta]]. The comparison of ''nidana'' of ''madhumeha'' mentioned in these two different references is tabulated here:

|}

+

+

It is obvious from the above table that in case of ''avarita'', ''madhumeha'' initially causes an increase in [[kapha]], [[pitta]], [[meda dhatu]] and [[mamsa dhatu]] leading to an obstruction of functional pathways of [[vata]], furthering its provocation, thereby increasing the severity of ''madhumeha''. In such a condition, the treatment is ''apatarpana'' and not of [[vata]] i.e. ''santarpana'' (Verses 78-81).

+

''Prameha pidika'' mentioned in this chapter usually occurs as a complication of ''avaranjanaya samprapti'' of ''madhumeha'' as [[meda dhatu]] dushti occurs in this type of ''madhumeha'', the factor, a must for pathogenesis of ''prameha pidika''. This resembles with presentation of metabolic syndrome which includes dys-lipidemia (Verse 82-111).

+

Charaka has mentioned seven varieties of ''prameha pidika'' whereas Sushruta and Vagbhata have added three more to this list that includes ''masoorika, putrini'' and ''vidarika''.

+

The ''shiroroga'' described in this chapter are various clinical presentations of headache depending upon [[dosha]] dominance and ''krimi'' infestation. ''Krimi'' in [[Ayurveda]] is a generic term for a large number of pathological organisms ranging from microorganisms found in blood (''raktaja krimi'') to intestinal worms as well as external parasites such as lice. [Cha.Sa.[[Vimana Sthana]] 7/11-13]

+

As mentioned earlier in the document, the diseases of the head (verses 13-14) include hemicrania, coryza, headache (caused as a side-effect of diseases of the mouth, nose, eyes and ears), giddiness/vertigo, facial paralysis, tremors of the head, and stiffness of the neck, nape and jaw (there are additional varieties of ''shiroroga'' viz. frontal sinusitis, trigeminal neuralgia, and ''shankhaka'' are also described. [Cha.Sa.[[Siddhi Sthana]] 9/70-87]

+

In contemporary science, headache is not a disease and can be vascular, myogenic, cervicogenic, and inflammatory in origin. The drug choices also depend upon the causative factors of headache. Similarly in [[Ayurveda]], though headache is a common manifestation of all five types of diseases of the head, different forms of headache can give an idea of [[dosha]] predominance which may further decide the preference of procedures or drug in its treatment.

Similarly in Ayurveda, though headache is a common manifestation of all five types of diseases of the head, different forms of headache can give an idea of dosha predominance which may further decide the preference of procedures or drug in its treatment.

The term headache implies pain in the region of cranial vault which is one of the most common and difficult clinical problems in medicine and can be due to serious intracranial conditions like raised intracranial pressure or space occupying lesion or various inflammatory changes of brain tissue or meninges. Further, any pain in the head may also be due to lesions in nearby structures such as the eyes and ear causing referred headache.

−

The forms or manifestations of headache (and referred headache) associated with a sirōrōga may include migraine, stress induced headache, cluster headache, chronic paroxysmal hemicraina, and miscellaneous forms not associated with structural lesions or headache associated with vascular disorders.

−

Similarly the five presentations of heart diseases have also been mentioned in this chapter that resemble different manifestations of chest pain and could be in the form of angina, pain associated with myocardial infarction and dissecting aortic aneurysm, pericarditis, oesophageal spasm, or musculo skeletal chest pain. The clinical picture of cardiac disorders is quite similar to the features of hridroga mentioned in Charaka Samhia, such as choking or constriction, squeezing, crushing, burning or aching chest pain, or a feeling of sharp, tearing or stabbing chest pain that is usually felt retrosternally and may radiate to the left arm or more rarely to the right arm and then to the throat, jaws and teeth, or through the back. In addition to the individual features of five types of hridaroga, in Chikitsa Sthana, the general sign and symptoms of hridroga such as discolouration, syncope, fever, cough, hiccups, dyspnoea, vomiting, water brash, chest discomfort, indigestion or distaste of mouth are also mentioned (Ca Ch 26/78). These are mentioned as common symptoms of heart disease in medicine books.

~~Carbuncles are common complications occurring in uncontrolled diabetes patients where the infection spreads extensively in the dermal~~ and ~~underlying soft tissue.

Thus, this chapter is very important as it deals with the disorders of three vital parts of the body (''trimarma''). It also describes very important aspects of pathogenesis caused due to combinations of vitiated [[dosha]] viz. ''samsarga'' and ''sannipata''. The description of [[ojas]] is a unique concept of [[Ayurveda]]. The detailed descriptions along with etiological factors of each ''prameha pidika'' are very helpful in planning their prevention and cure.
