Disease A to Z
In Ayurveda indigestion is known as Ajirna and arises from Agnimandya or weak digestive fire which leads to the accumulation of Ama or metabolic toxins. It is primarily caused by factors such as irregular eating habits drinking excessive water suppression of natural urges and sleep disturbances. Madhava Nidana classifies indigestion into types based on the dominant Dosha including Ama Ajirna from Kapha Vidagdha from Pitta and Vishtabdha from Vata along with Rasashesha. Symptoms typically include lethargy heaviness constipation and specific signs like sour belching or abdominal pain. Treatment described in Chakradatta focuses on restoring Agni through fasting known as Langhana using digestive stimulants like Hingvashtak Churna and adopting a light diet to process the toxins.
Disease A to Z
Throat infection correlates with Ayurvedic Kantha Roga including conditions like Galagraha and Rohini characterized by inflammation and pain in the throat. It arises when vitiated Doshas particularly Kapha and Pitta affect the flesh and blood in the throat region often due to consuming incompatible foods like fish with milk or curd and day sleep. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing swelling and intense irritation. Management emphasizes local therapies like Gandusha or gargling with medicated decoctions and sucking on Khadiradi Gutika to soothe the tract. Nasya therapy is beneficial for clearing accumulated Kapha. Treatment also involves avoiding heavy sour foods and adopting a light diet to restore digestive fire and pacify the aggravated Doshas.
Disease A to Z
Headache correlates with the Ayurvedic condition Shiroroga or Shirahshula characterized by pain in the cranial region. It primarily arises from the vitiation of Vata dosha often combined with Pitta or Kapha which obstructs the channels in the head. Common causes include suppression of natural urges like sneezing or tears sleeping during the day and exposure to cold wind or alcohol. Ayurveda classifies headaches into eleven types including Ardhavabhedaka known as migraine and Suryavarta where pain follows the suns movement. Management focuses on Shodhana therapies specifically Nasya or nasal administration which is considered the gateway to the head. Procedures like Shirodhara and Shirovasti using medicated oils are highly effective while topical pastes and a diet rich in milk and ghee help alleviate pain.
Disease A to Z
Kidney stones correlate with the Ayurvedic condition Mutrashmari where aggravated Vata dosha dries up Kapha and urine in the bladder forming a hard concretion. This process resembles wind drying up moisture resulting in severe colic. Clinical features include excruciating pain radiating from the navel to the genitals, obstructed urination, and hematuria. Ayurveda classifies stones into four types based on the dominant bio-energy or cause including Vataja, Pittaja, Kaphaja, and Shukraja. Management focuses on dissolving the stone using alkaline preparations like Yavakshara and specific herbal decoctions such as Varunadi Kwatha. Dietary inclusion of Kulattha or horse gram is essential for breaking down the mass. Therapies like Avagaha Sweda or sitz baths relieve pain while surgical extraction is advised if medicinal treatment fails.
