• The amla (sour), lavana (salty), katu (pungent) food articles with ushna (hot potency), tikshna (sharply acting) lead to vitiation of pitta dosha and blood. This causes abhishyanda (excess discharge leading to increase in volume of fluid) and guru (heaviness) in blood. This results in obstruction of raktavaha srotasa rooted in yakrita(liver)-pleeha (spleen) and raktapitta (hemorrhage).
