Changes

''Mada'' and ''murchcha'' subside on their own when the vitiated ''doshas'' subside. However, ''sanyasa'' (coma) does not subside without medical treatment. In weak patients, when vitiated ''doshas'' move into a vital organ (i.e. brain and heart) and start affecting speech, physical movement, and the mind, coma ensues. A person affected with coma appears to be in a vegetative state or seems dead. Death can occur if prompt and effective treatment is not given. The physician should manage a comatose patient just as a wise person recovers a utensil sinking in deep water quickly before it settles down in the bottom.

To make someone recover from coma, the use of collyriums, drops, smokes, blowing, needling, burning, causing pain by making the patient lie on a  nail-bed, plucking the hair on the head and body of the patient, biting the patient, rubbing with hairy fruits of ''atmagupta'' (Mucuna prurita Hook.) is recommended and considered effective. Besides, various types of strong alcoholic drinks mixed with plenty of pungent substances should be poured into the mouth of the patient suffering from ''murchcha'' (syncope). Similarly, the juice of ''matulunga'' ''rasa'' (citrus medica) mixed with dry ginger, sauvarchala (black salt), hingu (ie. resinous of material Ferula foetida Regel), wine, and sour juice or vinegar should be administered for helping someone regain consciousness.

  When the patient regains consciousness, he should be given a light diet and should be entertained with interesting stories or anecdotes, memoirs, pleasing talks, enchanting songs, and live music, and colorful scenery. Moreover, he should be treated with purgation, emesis, smoking, collyriums, gargles, bloodletting, exercise and rubbing over the body. His mind should be protected well from the causes of distress or confusion. [42-53]

In the cases of mada and murchha, patients should be subjected to five (evacuative) measures, after proper oleation and fomentation, according to the dosha and strength of the person and the disease. Likewise, the administration of paniya-kalyana ghrita, tiktashatpala ghrita or mahatikta ghrita is recommended. The use of triphala with ghrita, honey and sugar, shilajatu, milk, pippali (Piper longum) or chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica Linn.) with milk, rasayana, and kaumbha (ten year old) ghrita are also beneficial.

 

Mada and murchha are alleviated by bloodletting and constantly keeping the patient regaled with anecdotes from the scriptures, and in the company of noble and intelligent persons. [54-58]
