Line 331: Line 331:  
When a person indulges in spoiled food and unhealthy habits, he develops a clouded sensorium with ''rajas'' and ''tamas'' qualities. The vitiated ''doshas'', singly or in combination, reside and obstruct the channels that carry ''rakta, rasa'' (plasma), and consciousness. This leads to various diseases such as ''mada'' (intoxication), ''murchcha'' (syncope), and ''sanyasa'' (coma) which are etiologically, symptomatically and therapeutically progressive. Vitiated ''doshas'' distress the mind and alter the sensorium leading to further impairment of consciousness. [25-29]
