<big>''' Abstract </big>'''
<div style="text-align:justify;">
The chapter on [[Atisara Chikitsa]] (management of diarrhea) traces the historical origin of the disorder since the Vedic period and attributes it to eating of heavy and hot foods specially meat products. There are six types of diarrhea, three of which are caused by single ''dosha'' (''vataja, pittaja'' and ''kaphaja'') while a fourth is caused by the combination of all the three ''doshas''. The fifth and sixth types are caused due to psychological factors such as fear and grief. Some of these variants could be further classified based on their constituents, e.g., ''vataja atisara'' (diarrhea caused due to ''vata dosha'') is further divided into ''ama'' and ''nirama atisara'' (with or without mucoid substances diarrhea) and it has been emphasized not to stop the lose motions in initial or ''ama'' stage.
The etiology, pathology, signs and symptoms of each of these six types of diarrhea, along with their prognosis have been detailed here.The principles of treatment and complications associated with diarrhea, such as bleeding, suppuration, ulceration and prolapsed anus are also described along with various measures to tackle the problems effectively.
''Sangrahi'' (astringent or anti-diarrheals) therapies are not advisable in the initial stage of the disease because of presence of ''ama'' inside the body. Instead, mild laxative should be given to eliminate the accumulated ''doshas''. Diarrhea should be allowed to continue and should not be stopped by constipating or bowel binding drugs. The patients shall be managed with light to digest, nutritive and liquid diet regimen which enhances power of ''agni'' as well as it helps to stop diarrhea. </div>
