''Rajayakshma'' is a syndrome consisting of diseases associated with wasting (''kshaya'') of various tissues including ''rasa'' and ''ojas'' causing immunodeficiency resulting in opportunistic infections, most common being tuberculosis. The term ''rajyakshma'' has been used interchangeably with tuberculosis. It is potentially fatal wasting disease that "consumes" the body.  This chapter describes etio-pathogenesis, signs and symptoms and principles of management. Groups of signs viz. a group of three signs, six signs and eleven signs are enlisted to designate variety of ''srotasa'' (systems) involved with increasing severity of disease. The complications and prognosis are elaborated to categorize the disease as one of the dreadful diseases. Treatment with modern antitubercular medicines reduces mortality in patients with tuberculosis (cure rate11.42% and the death rate 40.9%) but when combined with Ayurvedic treatment there was significant improvement (cure rate 41.3% and the death rate 3.8%).

''Rajayakshma'' has been identified since Vedic period (2400 BC). ''Yakshma'',the word, first appeared in the vedas (Rigveda and Atharvaveda), but a detailed description was missing. In the Ayurvedic treatises, or the Samhitas (1000 BC to 500 AD), a detailed description of ''rajayakshma'' can be found. An account of its definition, etiology, pathogenesis, general features, management, and the prognosis is found in [[Charak Samhita]], ''Sushruta Samhita'', and ''Ashtanga Hridaya'' with more extensive description is in [[Charak Samhita]]. Four etiological factors are described, ''sahasa'' (over exertion or working beyond one's capacity), ''samdharana'' (suppression of natural urges), ''kshaya'' (depletion of tissue element) and ''vishamashana'' (irregular diet).

The three chapters viz. [[Sosha Nidana]], [[Rajayakshma Chikitsa]] and [[Kshatakshina Chikitsa]] deal with similar clinical presentation of disease and principles of management. ''Dhatukshaya'' is common feature in all. Advancement of ''dhatukshaya'' in ''sosha'' reaches a stage when immuno-suppression with resulting opportunistic infection occurs and is called ''rajayakshma''. In ''kshatakshina'' or ''urakshata'' there is chest injury due to direct or indirect trauma along with ''dhatukshaya''. ''Brimhana'' of ''dhatu'' (nourishment) is the principle line of management.

Thus ''upsarga''(additional contact or exposure to) may be considered as ''Sannikrishta Nidana'' (recent cause) of ''rajayakshma''. Sushruta was aware of this fact, and he has described its contagious nature by saying that skin diseases, fever, ''rajayakshma'' and conjunctivitis are infectious diseases which spread from one man to another man.

Symptomatology of ''rajayakshma'' has been described in three different categories viz. ''trirupa, shadrupa'' and ''ekadashrupa''. It seems that ''trirupa'' denotes the description of early tuberculosis when the disease is of mild nature whereas ''shadrupa'' is the clinical manifestation of the moderately advanced disease. ''Shadrupa'' is the cardinal symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis which are found in the majority of the patients. ''Ekadashrupa'' or eleven-fold manifestation may appear in the far advanced stage of tuberculosis or in those patients whose ''vyadhikshamatva'' (immunity) is ''hina'' (low). The clinical presentation of disease includes groups of signs with their specific pathogenesis. The increasing number of signs denote severity of disease and spread of disease over body organs.

As far as the treatment is concerned, mild ''samshodhana'' therapy is indicated in excess aggravation of ''dosha''. However drastic purification leading to emaciation is strictly contraindicated especially ''virechana'' (purgation) therapy. ''Samshamana'' (pacification) therapy includes treatment of symptoms and treatment of emaciation to increase the declining ''dhatus'' (tissues) of the body by using various types of meat and wines. Meat having high protein content helps in rebuilding body tissues whereas wine acts as a tonic and appetizer, it also helps open the blocked channels thereby providing proper nutrition to all the tissues of the body. ''Rasayana'' (rejuvenatives) have a significant role in enhancing immunity and thereby preventing infectious diseases. The formulations described in [[Rajayakshma Chikitsa]] enhance immunity as well as an adjuvant therapies to anti-tubercular treatments in current practices.

The following story – of Chandrama (Moon)’s passionate cohabiting (with Rohini, one of his 28 celestial wives)  - was narrated by the Gods to the sages. Because of his excessive sexual indulgence with Rohini, Chandrama soon started neglecting his own health, becoming emaciated due to depletion of his bodily unctuousness (essence or vitality). Besides, his inordinate attention to just one wife in comparison to the others resulted in his not being able to satisfy the desires of his remaining wives – all of whom were the daughters of Daksha Prajapati (Lord of Progeny). This ill-treatment to his daughters made Daksha furious, and his anger came out of his mouth in the form of breath that took a physical form (Yakshma). The now lusterless, afflicted Moon sought clemency from the great Daksha, accompanied by the Gods and Sages. Daksha Prajapati , now realizing Chandrama’s pure state of mind (and therefore, admitting his folly), became cordial to him got him treated by the Ashwin, the celestial physicians. The Ashwins having enhanced his ''ojas'' (vital essence), Chandrama additionally acquired a great purity of mind. [3-10]

''Krodha''(rage), ''yakshma'' (sickness), ''jwara''(fever) and ''roga'' (disease suffering) – these terms are synonymous, and indicate misery. Because it afflicted Chandrama, the king of stars, originally, it is called ''rajayakshma'', or the king of diseases.This disease, having been treated by the Ashwin in the celestial world, has come down to the world of mortals (i.e., human beings). Here, it afflicts human beings after being triggered by a four-fold causative factor [11-12]

When beyond one’s capacity, a person indulges in excess battle, reading, weight-lifting, walking, jumping, swimming etc. or falls down - or gets injured -or exerts himself in any action that is beyond his strength or tolerance, leads to chest injury and , vitiates ''vata dosha''. This ''vata dosha'' afflicts the other two (''pitta'' and ''kapha dosha''). These vitiated ''dosha'', along with ''vayu'', spread in all direction within body (''pradhavati'') and cause eleven symptoms, with each symptom directly corresponding to the particular part of the body. If the deranged ''dosha'' enters the head, it causes headache; if the throat, then irritation in throat, cough, hoarseness of voice and anorexia; if the chest, then pain in the sides of the chest; if the anus, then diarrhea; if in the joints, then fever, yawning and pain in the chest.

Injury to the chest and coughing cause the patient to spit out phlegm along with blood. In this case, the patient suffers from unbearable pain in his chest due to pulmonic damage. These eleven symptoms are manifested in the patients suffering from ''yakshma'' caused by overexertion. [14-19]

When due to bashfulness or disgust or fear one suppresses the impelling urge to pass flatus, urine and/or feces, ''vayu'', due to the obstruction of such urges, propels ''kapha'' and ''pitta'' upwards, obliquely and downwards within the body, causing the disorders having symptoms of all three ''doshas'' such as coryza, cough, hoarseness of voice, anorexia, pain in flank, headache, fever, pain in shoulders, bodyache, frequent vomiting and diarrhea. These are the eleven symptoms of ''rajayakshma'' caused due to suppression of urges. [20-23]

Excessive envy, eagerness, fever, terror, anger, grief, excessive indulgence in sexual intercourse, and fasting leads to depletion of ''shukra'' and ''ojas''. This, in turn, due to loss of unctuousness, provokes ''vata'' which further aggravates the other two ''doshas'' and causes eleven symptoms such as—coryza, fever, cough, bodyache, headache, dyspnea, diarrhea, anorexia, pain in flanks, feeble voice and feeling of warmth in shoulders. These eleven symptoms indicate the advent of the great disease ''rajayakshma'' due to wasting. [24-27]

Now we will describe the pathogenesis, clinical features and management in brief.
 
   
 
   
Normally, the ''dhatus'' of the body get metabolised (being acted upon) by their own ''ushmas'' or ''dhatvagnis'' (transforming enzymes in the tissue elements). From these ''dhatus'', (nutrient tissue elements), the other ''dhatus'' ( next ''dhatu'' to it that which receive nourishment) gets nourished through their respective ''srotas'' (channels of circulation). (For example, a ''poshaka rasa dhatu'' would nourish the ''rakta dhatu'' ).

(For example, a ''poshaka [[rasa dhatu]]'' would nourish the ''[[rakta dhatu]]'' ).  
  
Once, however, there is any obstruction to ''srotas'' or if there is diminution of stable tissue elements like ''rakta'' or if there is diminution of ''dhatu-ushmas'' or ''dhatvagnis'' then ''rajayakshma'' is manifested. In such a case, whatever food is digested in the gastrointestinal tract by ''jatharagni'' is mostly reduced to waste products and very little of it contributes to the formation of ''ojas'' (nourishment). The patient is depleted of all tissue elements and strength. The patient’s stool should be preserved and it is the only source of strength left with him. Because of the obstruction to the ''srotas, rasa dhatu'' becomes ''vidagdha'' (improperly metabolized) in its own location (heart) and this vitiated ''rasa'' comes out through the upper passages in different forms by way of coughing. Subsequently, six or eleven symptoms (or forms of diseases) are manifested, and their aggregation is the syndrome called ''rajayakshma''. Cough, distress in shoulder, change of voice, fever, pain in flanks, headache, vomiting of ''rakta'' and ''kapha'', dyspnea, diarrhea and anorexia are the eleven symptoms of ''rajayakshma'' ; or they are also six viz., cough, fever, pain in flanks, hoarseness of voice diarrhea and anorexia. With eleven, six or even three of the symptoms, a patient is incurable if he is losing ''mamsa'' (flesh tissues) and strength, but he is curable if he is behaving otherwise in spite of showing all the symptoms.

Hoarseness of voice is engendered by morbid ''vata, pitta'' or ''kapha'' or blood or by, strain of coughing or by coryza. The voice becomes husky, feeble and unstable if caused by ''vata''; if by ''pitta'', there will be burning of the palate and throat and the patient will refrain from talking; and if due to ''kapha'', the voice is low, choked and is marked with a wheezing sound; owing to the obstruction to the flow of blood, the voice becomes low and comes out with difficulty; the throat becomes injured by the strain of exorbitant coughing and in case of coryza, the characterstics of the voice resemble the condition in ''vata'' and ''kapha'' afflictions.

The patient should imbibe the juice of goat-meat prepared with long pepper, barley, horse gram, dry ginger, pomegranate or emblic myrobalan and unctuous articles. By taking this, the hexad of coryza and other disorders vanishes. The patient should be treated with a suitable diet of soups made up of radish or horse gram or out of staple food composed of barley, wheat or shali rice. A potion made up of the clear supernatant part of ''varuni'' wine or water, prepared with pentaradix, or with coriander and dry ginger or with feather-foil, or with the tetrad of herbs called ''parnini'' is advised. Articles of diet may additionally be consumed with these decoctions.[65-70]

When the patient is not used to consume meats and that are not relished, it may cause harm to patient. Then considering the benefit towards patient’s health, meat should be given in other forms or under dissimulated designations without telling the patient. If the patient comes to know that meat is being given to him, then he would not eat the meat or if eaten, would vomit it. (Hence, in these patients, the recepi should not be shared with patients).

The fleshes of peacock, partridge, chicken, swan, hog, camel, ass, bull, and buffalo are best to enhance flesh tissues in the patient. A wise physician should take meticulous note of the eight groups of creatures, described in the chapter on ‘eats and drinks’, and then cull the opportune flesh for the patient. [158-159]

Line 1,779: Line 1,931:
 
The ''rajayakshma'' patient shall take ''prasanna, varuni'' or ''sidhu'' wine or simple medicated wines as per suitability after taking a meat-diet. Wine owing to its qualities of quickly acting, hot potency, cleansing effect, and subtle action, churns up obstructions in the orifices of the body channels and soon dilates them. As a result of this re-establishment of the liberation of circulation in the vessels, all the seven body- elements get nourished, and the wasting due to ''rajayakshma'' soon gets cured. [163-167]

''Mandagni'' (at the level of ''jatharagni'' and ''dhatvagni'' both) and ''srotovarodha'' play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Some of them work at the level of ''rasa'' (enriching nutrient plasma) while others work at the level of ''agni'' (improve digestion and metabolism). Some other work at the level of ''srotas'' by promoting the competence of microcirculatory channels in the body leading to better bio-availability of nutrients to the tissues and improved tissue perfusion.[2] Hence, ''rasayana'' acting at all three levels may prove beneficial in the management of ''rajayakshma''. ''Rasayana'' drugs also improve the status of ''ojas'' in the body by their immunomodulatory action. Thus these drugs are used as an adjuvant to anti-tubercular drugs and they enhance efficacy of treatment at various levels. Details about ''rasayana'' drugs have already been described in first chapter of [[Chikitsa Sthana]].  ''Nidana parivarjana'' (removal of the causes) is yet another aspect of treatment.

Abstract

Rajayakshma is a syndrome consisting of diseases associated with wasting (kshaya) of various tissues including rasa and ojas causing immunodeficiency resulting in opportunistic infections, most common being tuberculosis. The term rajayakshma has been used interchangeably with tuberculosis. It is potentially fatal wasting disease that "consumes" the body. This chapter describes etio-pathogenesis, signs and symptoms and principles of management. Groups of signs viz. a group of three signs, six signs and eleven signs are enlisted to designate variety of srotasa (systems) involved with increasing severity of disease. The complications and prognosis are elaborated to categorize the disease as one of the dreadful diseases. Treatment with modern antitubercular medicines reduces mortality in patients with tuberculosis (cure rate 11.42% and the death rate 40.9%) but when combined with Ayurvedic treatment there was significant improvement (cure rate 41.3% and the death rate 3.8%).

Keywords: Rajayakshma, kshaya, shosha, tuberculosis, vyadhikshamatva, dhatukshaya, immunity, depletion of tissues, wasting diseases.


Introduction

Rajayakshma has been identified since Vedic period (2400 BC). Yakshma,the word, first appeared in the vedas (Rigveda and Atharvaveda), but a detailed description was missing. In the Ayurvedic treatises, or the Samhitas (1000 BC to 500 AD), a detailed description of rajayakshma can be found. An account of its definition, etiology, pathogenesis, general features, management, and the prognosis is found in Charak Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya with more extensive description is in Charak Samhita. Four etiological factors are described, sahasa (over exertion or working beyond one's capacity), samdharana (suppression of natural urges), kshaya (depletion of tissue element) and vishamashana (irregular diet).

The three chapters viz. Sosha Nidana, Rajayakshma Chikitsa and Kshatakshina Chikitsa deal with similar clinical presentation of disease and principles of management. Dhatukshaya is common feature in all. Advancement of dhatukshaya in sosha reaches a stage when immuno-suppression with resulting opportunistic infection occurs and is called rajayakshma. In kshatakshina or urakshata there is chest injury due to direct or indirect trauma along with dhatukshaya. Brimhana of dhatu (nourishment) is the principle line of management.

Thus upsarga(additional contact or exposure to) may be considered as Sannikrishta Nidana (recent cause) of rajayakshma. Sushruta was aware of this fact, and he has described its contagious nature by saying that skin diseases, fever, rajayakshma and conjunctivitis are infectious diseases which spread from one man to another man.

Symptomatology of rajayakshma has been described in three different categories viz. trirupa, shadrupa and ekadashrupa. It seems that trirupa denotes the description of early tuberculosis when the disease is of mild nature whereas shadrupa is the clinical manifestation of the moderately advanced disease. Shadrupa is the cardinal symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis which are found in the majority of the patients. Ekadashrupa or eleven-fold manifestation may appear in the far advanced stage of tuberculosis or in those patients whose vyadhikshamatva (immunity) is hina (low). The clinical presentation of disease includes groups of signs with their specific pathogenesis. The increasing number of signs denote severity of disease and spread of disease over body organs.

As far as the treatment is concerned, mild samshodhana therapy is indicated in excess aggravation of dosha. However drastic purification leading to emaciation is strictly contraindicated especially virechana (purgation) therapy. Samshamana (pacification) therapy includes treatment of symptoms and treatment of emaciation to increase the declining dhatus (tissues) of the body by using various types of meat and wines. Meat having high protein content helps in rebuilding body tissues whereas wine acts as a tonic and appetizer, it also helps open the blocked channels thereby providing proper nutrition to all the tissues of the body. Rasayana (rejuvenatives) have a significant role in enhancing immunity and thereby preventing infectious diseases. The formulations described in Rajayakshma Chikitsa enhance immunity as well as an adjuvant therapies to anti-tubercular treatments in current practices.

This chapter underscores the importance of judicious combination of modern drug treatment of infectious diseases with Ayurvedic treatment to achieve better results.[1]

The following story – of Chandrama (Moon)’s passionate cohabiting (with Rohini, one of his 28 celestial wives) - was narrated by the Gods to the sages. Because of his excessive sexual indulgence with Rohini, Chandrama soon started neglecting his own health, becoming emaciated due to depletion of his bodily unctuousness (essence or vitality). Besides, his inordinate attention to just one wife in comparison to the others resulted in his not being able to satisfy the desires of his remaining wives – all of whom were the daughters of Daksha Prajapati (Lord of Progeny). This ill-treatment to his daughters made Daksha furious, and his anger came out of his mouth in the form of breath that took a physical form (Yakshma). The now lusterless, afflicted Moon sought clemency from the great Daksha, accompanied by the Gods and Sages. Daksha Prajapati , now realizing Chandrama’s pure state of mind (and therefore, admitting his folly), became cordial to him got him treated by the Ashwin, the celestial physicians. The Ashwins having enhanced his ojas (vital essence), Chandrama additionally acquired a great purity of mind. [3-10]

Krodha(rage), yakshma (sickness), jwara(fever) and roga (disease suffering) – these terms are synonymous, and indicate misery. Because it afflicted Chandrama, the king of stars, originally, it is called rajayakshma, or the king of diseases. This disease, having been treated by the Ashwin in the celestial world, has come down to the world of mortals (i.e., human beings). Here, it afflicts human beings after being triggered by a four-fold causative factor [11-12]

Four important causative factors of disease

Over–exertion beyond one’s capacity, suppression of natural urges, depletion of tissue elements and irregular dietary habits are the etiological factors of rajayakshma. [13]

1. Sahasaja rajayakshma (due to over exertion beyond one’s capacity)

When beyond one’s capacity, a person indulges in excess battle, reading, weight-lifting, walking, jumping, swimming etc. or falls down - or gets injured -or exerts himself in any action that is beyond his strength or tolerance, leads to chest injury and , vitiates vata dosha. This vata dosha afflicts the other two (pitta and kapha dosha). These vitiated dosha, along with vayu, spread in all direction within body (pradhavati) and cause eleven symptoms, with each symptom directly corresponding to the particular part of the body. If the deranged dosha enters the head, it causes headache; if the throat, then irritation in throat, cough, hoarseness of voice and anorexia; if the chest, then pain in the sides of the chest; if the anus, then diarrhea; if in the joints, then fever, yawning and pain in the chest.

Injury to the chest and coughing cause the patient to spit out phlegm along with blood. In this case, the patient suffers from unbearable pain in his chest due to pulmonic damage. These eleven symptoms are manifested in the patients suffering from yakshma caused by overexertion. [14-19]

2. Vegasandharanaja rajayakshma (due to suppression of natural urges)

When due to bashfulness or disgust or fear one suppresses the impelling urge to pass flatus, urine and/or feces, vata, due to the obstruction of such urges, propels kapha and pitta upwards, obliquely and downwards within the body, causing the disorders having symptoms of all three doshas such as coryza, cough, hoarseness of voice, anorexia, pain in flank, headache, fever, pain in shoulders, bodyache, frequent vomiting and diarrhea. These are the eleven symptoms of rajayakshma caused due to suppression of urges. [20-23]

3. Kshayaja rajayakshma (due to depletion of tissues)

Excessive envy, eagerness, fever, terror, anger, grief, excessive indulgence in sexual intercourse, and fasting leads to depletion of shukra and ojas. This, in turn, due to loss of unctuousness, provokes vata which further aggravates the other two doshas and causes eleven symptoms such as—coryza, fever, cough, bodyache, headache, dyspnea, diarrhea, anorexia, pain in flanks, feeble voice and feeling of warmth in shoulders. These eleven symptoms indicate the advent of the great disease rajayakshma due to wasting. [24-27]

Irregular intake of dietary articles, or irregular dietary habits lead to vitiation of doshas, causing severe amavisha disorders. These vitiated doshas obstruct the channels of blood etc. leading to weaning away of dhatus and causing the 11 symptoms of rajayakshma caused due to irregular dietary habit:

  1. Due to vitiated kapha: coryza, excessive salivation, cough, vomiting and anorexia,
  2. Due to vitiated pitta: fever, distress in shoulder and haemoptysis, and
  3. Due to vitiated vata: pain in flanks, headache and hoarseness of voice.[28-31]

Now we will describe the pathogenesis, clinical features and management in brief.

Normally, the dhatus of the body get metabolised (being acted upon) by their own ushmas or dhatvagnis (transforming enzymes in the tissue elements). From these dhatus, (nutrient tissue elements), the other dhatus ( next dhatu to it that which receive nourishment) gets nourished through their respective srotas (channels of circulation). (For example, a poshaka rasa dhatu would nourish the rakta dhatu ).

Once, however, there is any obstruction to srotas or if there is diminution of stable tissue elements like rakta or if there is diminution of dhatu-ushmas or dhatvagnis then rajayakshma is manifested. In such a case, whatever food is digested in the gastrointestinal tract by jatharagni is mostly reduced to waste products and very little of it contributes to the formation of ojas (nourishment). The patient is depleted of all tissue elements and strength. The patient’s stool should be preserved and it is the only source of strength left with him. Because of the obstruction to the srotas, rasa dhatu becomes vidagdha (improperly metabolized) in its own location (heart) and this vitiated rasa comes out through the upper passages in different forms by way of coughing. Subsequently, six or eleven symptoms (or forms of diseases) are manifested, and their aggregation is the syndrome called rajayakshma. Cough, distress in shoulder, change of voice, fever, pain in flanks, headache, vomiting of rakta and kapha, dyspnea, diarrhea and anorexia are the eleven symptoms of rajayakshma ; or they are also six viz., cough, fever, pain in flanks, hoarseness of voice diarrhea and anorexia. With eleven, six or even three of the symptoms, a patient is incurable if he is losing mamsa (flesh tissues) and strength, but he is curable if he is behaving otherwise in spite of showing all the symptoms. [39-47]

The kapha or blood or pitta located at the root of the nasal passage cause nasal catarrh in the patients whose head is afflicted with vayu. This results in severe pratishyaya (coryza) affecting entire body of the patient, This leads to emaciation of the body; its signs and symptoms are headache, heaviness in the head, loss of smell, fever, cough, increase of mucous secretion, change of voice, anorexia fatigue and asthenia of the senses and then rajayakshma manifests. [48-50]

Hoarseness of voice is engendered by morbid vata, pitta or kapha or blood or by, strain of coughing or by coryza. The voice becomes husky, feeble and unstable if caused by vata; if by pitta, there will be burning of the palate and throat and the patient will refrain from talking; and if due to kapha, the voice is low, choked and is marked with a wheezing sound; owing to the obstruction to the flow of blood, the voice becomes low and comes out with difficulty; the throat becomes injured by the strain of exorbitant coughing and in case of coryza, the characterstics of the voice resemble the condition in vata and kapha afflictions.

The rajayakshma patient is afflicted with pain in the sides of the chest (flanks) which is inconsistent and manifests during constriction and expansion of chest during breathing, with headache, burning and heaviness.[53-56]

Rakta shthivana (hemoptysis)

In the emaciated condition of rajayakshma patients’ indulgence in irregular diet causes expectoration of blood. The kapha too, having been vitiated, is expectorated from the throat. [57]

Owing to obstruction in the circulation, the blood does not nourish the flesh tissues and other body elements. The blood staying in the stomach, getting agitated owing to incremented quantity, passes to the throat. Due to the obstruction of vata and kapha in the chest, there occurs dyspnea and the agni, being impaired by the morbid humors, causes the patient to pass loose and slimy stools.[57-59]

Anorexia or dislike for food is caused by morbidity of one or all the three doshas in the tongue or heart or by repugnant perceptions. By knowing the astringent, bitter or sweet taste in the mouth, anorexia is to be diagnosed as caused due to dominance of vata, pitta or kapha respectively. Anorexia due to morbid perceptions is psychosomatic, caused due to visually observing disturbing or morbid visuals. [60-61]

All types of rajayakshma are caused due to vitiated three doshas and hence the physician should treat the patient after examining the degree of intensity of the morbid dosha and the vigor of the patient. The physician should carefully observe the status (of patient) – by the symptoms such as coryza, headache, cough, dyspnea, asthenia of the voice and pain in flanks. [63-64]

In cases of excessive expectoration of phlegm in a strong patient and kapha dominant condition, he should be treated with emesis by a draught of milk mixed with emetic nut or with liquorice decoction mixed with emetic nut, or gruel prepared with emetic drugs and mixed with ghee. And after proper emesis, light diet along with digestive stimulants should be given in meals.

The person who is taking the diet consisting of barley and wheat, honey wine, sidhu wine, medicated wine and the spit roasted meat of animals of arid habitat will subdue his kapha dosha.

When there is excessive formation of phlegm, the vata expels this phlegm out of the body. This type of excessive phlegm expectoration should be treated with unctuous and hot medications.

This line of treatment for excess expectoration is also recommended for vomiting. A diet consisting of food and beverages that are hridya ( liked by mind), alleviate vata and light to digest are advised. [118-122]

  • Tooth-twigs should be used twice a day for brushing one’s teeth and then use mukhadhavana (drugs chewed for alleviating vitiated doshas in the mouth).
  • Wash the mouth and use kavala graha (keeping mouthful of medicinal preparations in a thin paste form in the oral cavity), and
  • Smoke medicated cigars and, thereafter, take digestive stimulant drugs, and wholesome food, and drinks. The recipe for mukhadhavana are:
    • (1)Cinnamon, nut-grass, cardamom and coriander; (2) nut- grass, emblic myrobalan and cinnamon; (3) Indian berberry and cinnamon; (4) Indian tooth-ache tree and long pepper; (5) bishop’s weed and tamarind- these five groups of mouthwashes mentioned one in each quarter verse, act as taste stimulant and relish-givers and mouth- cleansers.

When the patient is not used to consume meats and that are not relished, it may cause harm to patient. Then considering the benefit towards patient’s health and making him suitable to eat, meat should be given trickily in other disguised forms (or under dissimulated designations without telling the patient).

If the patient comes to know that meat is being given to him, then he would not eat the meat or if eaten, would vomit it. (Hence, in these patients, the recipe should not be shared with patients). [156-157]

Only meat shall be consumed in rajayakshma with madhvika (wine prepared from honey). The disease does not persist long in one who is well disciplined and with good mental strength (control over mind), who daily drinks varuni wine, regularly follows the external cleansing of the body and who does not suppress the natural urges.

The rajayakshma patient shall take prasanna, varuni or sidhu wine or simple medicated wines as per suitability after taking a meat-diet. Wine owing to its qualities of quickly acting, hot potency, cleansing effect, and subtle action, churns up obstructions in the orifices of the body channels and soon dilates them. As a result of this re-establishment of the liberation of circulation in the vessels, all the seven body- elements get nourished, and the wasting due to rajayakshma soon gets cured. [163-167]

The ghee prepared with the meat-juice of carnivorous animals may be administered with honey to the rajayakshma patient or the ghee prepared in ten times the quantity of milk may be given to the patient. The medicated ghee prepared in the decoction of dashamula, milk and meat-juice with the paste of drugs of the madhura (sweet) group is an excellent remedy for rajayakshma.

The medicated ghee prepared with the paste of long pepper, roots of long pepper, chaba pepper, white flowered leadwort, dry ginger, barley, alkali and milk is a cleanser of body channels.

The medicated ghee prepared in the decoction of Indian ground sel, heart-leaved sida, small caltrop, tick trefoil, fog weed and milk along with the paste of cork swallow wort and long pepper, is curative of rajayakshma .

These medicated ghees may be taken with gruel or licked with honey or eaten commixed with the food in the suitable dose. Thus has been described the dietetic regimen for the rajayakshma.[167-172]

The consumptive patient should then adorn himself with perfumes, flower garlands, habiliments and ornaments, touch auspicious articles, worship the gods, the Brahmins and the Vaidya. He should eat suitable food and drink with favorite color, taste, feel and odor, prepared by agreeable persons and leading to comfort. Those grains, which are a year old, are to be utilized in the preparation of food for the patients of rajayakshma. Those which are light to digest , which have not lost their nutritive quality and which are dainty, fragrant and virilific, are the most wholesome. The rajayakshma patients, in order to amend their vigor and flesh must utilize those articles that are prescribed as wholesome in the treatment of kshata-kshina(chapter 11). It is a recourse to inunction (applying oil), massage, congenial and untorn garments, effusions, baths immersion baths, internal and external cleansing which are congruous to the prevailing season, enemata, milk ghee, meat-foods cooked rice commixed with meat juices, suitable wines, delectable perfumes, optical discernment of friends, comely things and adolescent women, the congenial sound of musical compositions and the musical instruments , cheering and comforting words, constant accommodation to preceptors and elders, practice of brahmacharya, charity, austerity, worship of the gods, truth, rectitudinous, conduct, auspicious rites, nonviolence and deference to the physician and Brahmins, that one gets liberate from rajayakshma , the king of disease. The patient desirous of regaining his health should perform the same spiritual therapies enjoined by the vedas as those by the performance of which this king of diseases was subdued in the first instance.

Concerning rajayakshma, the protogenesis, etiological factors, premonitory symptoms band syndromes of designations and symptoms have been described in brief and methods of treatment extensively. Explanations of the designation of rajayakshma, incurable, curable, and formidable conditions: these have been addressed in this chapter on the ‘ Therapeutics of rajayakshma ’. [190-191]

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • Over–exertion beyond one’s capacity, suppression of natural urges, depletion of tissue elements and irregular dietary habits are the etiological factors of rajayakshma.
  • The symptoms are manifested where the vitiated dosha are lodged and interact with the dhatu.
  • One shall know his own capacity or tolerance before starting any kind of activity. Otherwise the activities done beyond one’s capacity leads to depletion of dhatu, vitiation of vata and rajayakshma.
  • One shall not suppress the natural urge to prevent vitiation of vata dosha and rajayakshma.
  • The samprapti (pathogenesis) of rajayakshma includes obstruction in channels and depletion of dhatus.
  • Normally, the dhatus of the body get metabolized (being acted upon) by their own ushmas or dhatvagnis (transforming enzymes in the tissue elements). From these dhatus, (nutrient tissue elements), the other dhatus (next dhatu to it that which receive nourishment) gets nourished through their respective srotas (channels of circulation). (For example, a poshaka rasa dhatu would nourish the rakta dhatu).
  • Rajayakshma is manifested if there is any obstruction to a srotas or if there is diminution of stable tissue elements like rakta or if there is diminution of dhatu-ushmas or dhatvagnis then.
  • In coryza, sudation, inunctions, medicated smoke application, effusion, bath are the modes of treatment.
  • Nasal errhines, medicated smokes, post prandial unctuous potions, inunctions with medicated oils, enemata and blood letting are indicated to release pain in head and shoulder region.
  • In cases of excessively aggravated dosha, mild therapeutic emesis and purgation therapies after proper snehana (oleation) and swedana (sudation) which do not cause emaciation can be administered.
  • The signs like diarrhea, anorexia manifest due to impairment of the agni. Treatment shall be planned to improve functioning of agni, stopping diarrhea and promoting taste in mouth.
  • The nourishment therapies with ghee, linctus, milk processed with the herbs having properties of sweet, bitter taste and cold potency are used in treatment of rajayakshma.
  • Meat and madhvika (wine prepared from honey) are considered the best diet in rajayakshma.
  • The disease does not persist long in one who is well disciplined and with good mental strength (control over mind), who daily drinks varuni wine, regularly follows external cleansing of the body (maintains cleanliness) and who does not suppress the natural urges.
  • Lifestyle treatments intended to enhance mental strength and comfort for patient are administered in rajayakshma.

Contemporary Treatments

Priniciples of treatments: Deepana, Srotoshodhana, Balya and Brimhana

Main drugs: Bala, Abhraka, Suvarna, Kushmanda

Medicine formulations used

  1. Sahasaja rajayakshma /urakshata:
    1. Laksha mixture 10 to 20 grams frequently with vasavaleha
    2. Amritaprasha 10 to 20 grams after meals with milk
  2. Vishamashanaja :
    1. Swarna vasanta 250 to 500 mg between two meals with milk
    2. Drakshasava 10 to 20 ml after meals with water
  3. Vegarodhaja:

    1. Laksmivilasa rasa 250 to 500 mg between two meals with milk
    2. Vanga mixture 500 to 1000mg between two meals with milk

Cautions for purification treatments

Panchakarma( therapeutic purification) treatments are indicated only in strong patients with excess aggravation of doshas in rajayakshma. In a patient with low strength, purification is not done. If at all, it needs to be done due to excess dosha, then mild purification is prescribed after taking every care of strength of the patient.

Role of rasayana in enhancing the immunity

Rasayana drugs have got an important role in the management of rajayakshma. Mandagni (at the level of jatharagni and dhatvagni both) and srotovarodha play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Rasayana drugs act at various levels to promote nutrition. Some of them work at the level of rasa (enriching nutrient plasma) while others work at the level of agni (improve digestion and metabolism). Some other work at the level of srotas by promoting the competence of microcirculatory channels in the body leading to better bio-availability of nutrients to the tissues and improved tissue perfusion.[2] Hence, rasayana acting at all three levels may prove beneficial in the management of rajayakshma. Rasayana drugs also improve the status of ojas in the body by their immunomodulatory action. Thus these drugs are used as an adjuvant to anti-tubercular drugs and they enhance efficacy of treatment at various levels. Details about rasayana drugs have already been described in first chapter of Chikitsa Sthana. Nidana parivarjana (removal of the causes) is yet another aspect of treatment.

Research on Ayurveda treatment in tuberculosis patients

As we look back to the history of tuberculosis treatment, the immune-boost up was the main treatment. Ayurvedic treatment of tuberculosis was initiated in 1933 by the establishment of Patipukur TB Hospital, Kolkata. Later on, a full-fledged research unit was commissioned with exclusive budget. Treatment guidelines were adopted on Ayurvedic principles for therapeutic management which was a unique effort of its kind in pre-independence India. This regimen was discontinued from 1st November 1947 on the introduction of synthetic ATDs. Drugs containing mercury, gold, calcium was prepared at the in-house pharmacy and was administered to the patients with fresh juice of herbs cultivated in the hospital garden. Formulations like vasantamalati, kanchanabhra rasa, rajamriganka rasa were under use including bhallataka (Semicarpus anacardium) rasayana, mallasindura, vasa (Adatoda vasica) etc. The statistics on the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis using Ayurvedic medicine for over a period of 13 years is of immense value.[1]

Research outcome relevant for public health from the Indian systems of medicine on tuberculosis at The Patipukur TB Hospital: Modern TB-drugs were administered to about 2766 patients and the cure rate turned out to be 11.42% and the death rate 40.9%. When a group of patients on modern anti-TB drugs received supplementary Ayurvedic drugs, the cure rate was 41.3% and the death rate was 3.8%. Studies have also been conducted to assess the role of Ayurvedic treatment in resistant cases. [1]
