There are four types of ''apasmara'' caused by ''vata, pitta, kapha'' and ''sannipatika'' (combination of all the three ''doshas'').[3]

''Apasmara'' is characterized by occasional loss of consciousness associated with aberrant activities (like vomiting of froth and abnormal postures of the body) and behavior, due to perversion of memory, intellect and other psychic faculties. [5]

Premonitory symptoms of ''apasmara'' include contraction of eyebrows, erratic and constant movement of eyes, auditory hallucinations, excessive salivation, and nasal discharge. There is frequent accompaniment of anorexia, indigestion, and general disinclination towards food, chest congestion, distension of the lower abdomen accompanied with gurgling sound, weakness, cracking pain in bones and malaise, unconsciousness, a feeling of despondency or depression, fainting and giddiness, and frequent dreams of scenes of intoxication, dancing, murdering, aching, shivering and falling.

''Sannipatika apasmara'' (caused by the simultaneous vitiation of all the three ''doshas'') shares the symptoms of all the three ''doshas'' (described above). This condition is incurable.

===== ''Apasmara'' with extrinsic factors =====

</div></div>

Sometimes these conditions are associated with extrinsic causative factors described later (in Cikitsa10:53). The symptoms that manifest in such cases, though, are not the same as those caused by vitiated ''doshas''. [9]

==== Management of ''apasmara'' ====

</div></div>

Strong elimination and alleviation therapies are effective in alleviating and curing ''apasmara''. When extrinsic causative factors are involved, then ''mantras'' etc., are considered useful. [10]

As per vedic legends, in the aftermath of destruction of Daksha’s ''yajna'' (holy sacrifice), ''gulma'' (disease similar to lumps in abdomen) was manifested first in human beings due to stress induced as a result of fleeing, swimming, running, flying, etc. in all directions. ''Prameha'' (disease of obstinate urinary disorders) and ''kushtha'' (obstinate skin diseases including leprosy) were manifested due to excess intake of ghee. Various types of ''unmada'' (insanity/psychosis) were manifested due to fear, apprehension and grief. ''Apasmara'' (epilepsy) set in due to coming in contact with various types of unclean objects. ''Jwara'' came out of the forehead of Lord Shiva, and ''raktapitta'' was manifested (a condition characterized by bleeding from different parts of the body) due to ''jwara''’s heat. Moon was afflicted with ''rajayakshma'' due to excessive sexual indulgence. [11]

From the preceding verses, it can be said that ''apasmara'' manifests itself due to the vitiation of ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'' and ''sannipata'' (combined vitiation of all the three ''doshas''). The ''sannipata'' variation is incurable. [12]

Line 266: Line 319:

When ''apasmara'' is caused by the vitiation of ''doshas'' associated with extrinsic causative factors, then general therapies addressing both (''doshic'' equilibrium and extrinsic causes) are advised by the best of physicians. [14]

For example, elevated temperature in ''jwara'' can cause ''raktapitta'' and ''raktapitta'' can cause ''jwara''. Both the diseases (i.e ''jwara'' and ''raktapitta'') may lead to ''shosha'' (depletion of ''dhatus''). [17]

''Pleeha'' (enlargement of spleen) causes ''jathara'' (abdominal diseases including ascitis), which leads to ''shotha'' (generalized edema). ''Arsha'' (hemorrhoids) causes ''jathara'' (abdominal diseases including ascitis) that leads to ''gulma'' (abdominal lumps). [18]

''Pratishyaya'' (rhinitis) leads to ''kasa'' (cough) which further leads to ''kshaya'' (depletion of ''dhatu''), consequently resulting in ''sosha'' (emaciation). [19]

Conditions in their primary stages or forms manifest themselves as diseases and subsequently act as causative factors for other diseases. They thus play a dual role - as a disease and as a causative factor. Some of these play just one role as well– either as a disease or as a causative factor. [20]

Combinations of diseases in human beings are usually very difficult to treat, owing to the complexity of the line of treatment, and their serving as causative factors of each other. [22]

===== Ideal therapy without adverse effects =====

A therapy that alleviates one disease condition but provokes another disease is not ''shuddha'' (or is an impure or incorrect therapy). The ideal therapy is that which pacifies a disease without provoking any other disease. [23]

It is seen that a single causative factor, ruksha (dry) can cause many diseases such as ''jwara'' (fever), ''bhrama'' (vertigo) and ''pralapa'' (delirium) etc., while the same single factor (''ruksha'') may cause just one disease (''jwara'') [25]

''Jwara'' alone may be caused by a combination of several causative factors including but not limited to ''ruksha''(dry) etc. and many causes like, ''ruksha'' (dry, rough) etc. may lead to several diseases. [26]

For treating a single disease like ''jwara'', multiple therapies like light diet, etc. are needed and the same multiple therapies like light diet etc. are needed to subside many diseases like ''jwara''(fever), ''shwasa''(dyspnea), ''hikka''(hiccups) etc. [32]

Easily curable diseases can be managed in a short time by simple measures. Diseases which are difficult to cure may require more effort and time to cure. The palliable variety of incurable diseases can never be cured, but can be alleviated. Incurable diseases are not amenable to any type of treatment.

A wise physician should carefully observe the subtle changes in the state of diseases (aggravated, normal and diminished) while properly assessing the patient’s body strength, digestive power and mental ability. [36]

The physician, who is keenly observing variations in disease stages in the patient, should know it (the disease) well and prescribe such a treatment that would be helpful in attaining the fourfold effect of therapeutics. [37]

Generally, ''doshas'' that are spread over obliquely (in the transverse direction) afflict the patient for a longer time. In that condition, treatment should not be initiated in a hurry without proper assessment of body strength and digestive power.

These ''doshas'' should be alleviated first by treatment, or they should be carefully be drawn to the ''koshtha'' (bowel). After knowing their status in ''koshtha'', the wise physician should eliminate them through the nearest route. [38-39]

In the [[Nidana Sthana]], a compendium of symptomatology has been provided as a reckoner for the [[Ayurveda]] practitioner to gain adequate knowledge of some of the major classes of diseases and diagnose them effectively. But these symptoms may independently develop into diseases and create emergency situations. [40]

To sum up this chapter, etiological factors, premonitory symptoms, signs and symptoms, therapeutic relief, pathogenesis, historical origins and brief line of treatment of ''apasmara'' have been described in this section. Since this is the concluding chapter of the [[Nidana Sthana]], a summary to the entire section has also been provided here, stating that starting from ''jwara'' all eight diseases have been dealt with separately in eight chapters, each with etiological factors, symptomatology, prognosis and brief line of management.

Line 714: Line 854:

A compendium of diseases with etiological factors, their synonyms, symptoms of the diseases have been provided as an epilogue to the chapter. [42-44]
