Chhardi (vomiting), is a common gastro-Intestinal disorder characterized by bouts of vomiting, nausea, pain and black outs. The causative factors of chhardi can be categorized under dietary, lifestyle and psychological factors. Dietary factors include excessive upāvasa (starvation), over intake of vidāhi or snigdha-guru dravya (drugs which are very acrid, unctous and heavy to digest), etc. Lifestyle aspects include excessive exercise, divāsvapna (day sleep), etc. whereas the psychological stressors like excess worries, grief, anger, fear can precipitate it. Āmāshaya (stomach) and rasāyani (channels) are the sites of origin of chhardi. Vitiated doshas (biohumours) accumulate in amāshaya and rasāyani and are thrown out forcefully from the upper part of body causing pida (pain) to urdhva avayavas (organs situated above supraclavicular region). Comprehensive management includes avoidance of etiological factors with pharmacological treatment through medicaments as well as non-pharmacological methods.
