−

The chapter deals with complications due to improper administration of purification therapies ''vamana'' (therapeutic emesis) and ''virechana''( therapeutic purgation). Adequate dosage according to ''agni''(digestion power) and ''koshtha'' (bowel habit), proper quality of medicine, time of administration, follow up diet regimens are important to prevent complications. Observation of status of patient during purification therapy with the signs of proper, inadequate, excess elimination, causes and management of complications are described in detail in this chapter. The ten common complications like ''aadhmana'' (distension of abdomen), ''parikartika'' (fissure in ano), ''srava'' (excess discharge), ''hrid-graha'' (congestion in cardiac region), ''gatra-graha'' (body stiffness), ''jeevaadana'' (bleeding), ''vibhramsha'' (prolapse of rectum), ''stambha'' (body stiffness), ''upadrava'' (complications) and ''klama'' (fatigue without exertion) are elaborated. The causes behind this include incompetency either of the attendant, or drug, or physician or the patient.

The chapter [[Vamana Virechana Vyapat Siddhi]] explains the complications of improper administration of ''shodhana karma'' and their effective management. Three earlier chapters dealt with complications of ''basti'' (therapeutic enema). In same sequence of describing complications of purification therapies, those of therapeutic emesis and purgation are described in this chapter.

Earlier in [[Sutra Sthana]] 15th chapter ([[Upakalpaniya Adhyaya]]), the procedure of ''vamana'' and ''virechana'' are explained in detail. Their further specifications like signs and symptoms of proper, inadequate and excess actions are explained in first chapter ([[Kalpana Siddhi]]) of this section. The indications and and contra-indications are described in the second chapter ([[Panchakarmiya Siddhi]]). The remaining details of therapeutic emesis and purgation are explained in the present chapter.

The suitable seasons for ''shodhana'', proper timing for the administration of ''snehana'' (oleation) and ''swedana'' (sudation) are required because ''~~doshas~~'' get naturally vitiated in specific seasons and are associated in case of disease. Specific pre-requisites for adequate purification are to be considered prior to the procedure. Assessment of vitiation of ''dosha, agni'' (digestive power), ''koshtha'' (bowel) and unctuousness of patient are most important factors for administration of purification therapy. Proper diet and digestion of previous day meal, stable mental state of patient is important to get benefits of purification.

The months ''Shuchi'' (''Aashadha'', Mid June to Mid July) and ''Nabha'' (''Shravana'', Mid July to Mid August) together are known as ''Pravrita ritu''. The months ''Urja'' (''Kartika'', Mid October to Mid November) and ''Saha'' (''Margashersha'' –Mid November to Mid December) are known as ''Sharada ritu''. The months ''Tapasya'' (''Phaalguna'' -Mid February to Mid March) and ''Madhu'' (''Chaitram''- mid March to mid April) are known as ''Vasanta ritu''. These seasons are specially mentioned here for the sake of administration of ''shodhana'' therapy (purificatory procedures). The physician shall select an appropriate purificatory procedure to preserve the health after determining the exact season. However, in case of disease, it has to be done with respect to the nature of the clinical condition in any of the seasons.[5-6]

−

The individual with excessively oleated body should never be given an unctuous or ''snigdha virechana''. The body with excessive oleation should be given un-unctuous or ''ruksha virechana''.[9]

=== Procedure of taking purgatives for therapy ===

Line 200: Line 200:

</div></div>

−

The person after undergoing ''snehana'' (oleation) and ''swedana'' (sudation procedures) can have the medicine for elimination with fully concentrated mind. In addition, it should be ensured that the medicine is taken only after the full digestion of previous food. Only then, the proper elimination ensues.[10]

Like how water gets out of a vessel smeared with oil, similar is the removal of ''~~doshas~~'' from a properly oleated body. Just like the fire propels the water out from the wet log wood, similarly the sudation propels out the stable ''~~doshas~~'' from the pre-oleated body. The way in which the clothes adhered with dirt is cleaned using water, which removes the dirt, similarly the stable ''~~malas~~'' that are liquefied after oleation and sudation are removed by proper purificatory therapies.[11-13]

=== Consequences if medicines taken during indigestion ===

Line 260: Line 260:

</div></div>

−

If the medicine for purification is administered before the digestion of the previous meal, it will lead to ''glani'' (tiredness), ''vibandha'' (obstruction of feces and urine), and an action that is opposite to that intended by elimination therapy. (''virechana oushadha'' will lead to ''vamana'' and vice versa.)[14]

Line 345: Line 345:

</div></div>

−

The individual scheduled to undergo ''vamana'' on the next day should have foods which are easily digestible, rich in fluids and will increase the ''kapha dosha''. Similarly, the individual scheduled to undergo ''virechana'' should have foods which are light and hot. Since the first diet leads to vitiation and second diet leads to reduction of ''kapha'', the ''~~doshas~~'' are removed quickly and completely. [18-18½]

Since the first diet leads to vitiation and second diet leads to reduction of ''[[kapha]]'', the ''[[dosha]]s'' are removed quickly and completely. [18-18½]

=== Signs of proper elimination ===

Line 371: Line 371:

The physician who had administered medicines for purification must be in observation for the following symptoms:

−

*For ''vamana'', the ''pitta'' is expelled out after the elimination of ''kapha''

+

*For ''[[vamana]]'', the ''[[pitta]]'' is expelled out after the elimination of ''[[kapha]]''

−

*For ''virechana'', the elimination of fecal matter will be followed by ''pitta'' and thereafter by ''kapha''

+

*For ''[[virechana]]'', the elimination of fecal matter will be followed by ''[[pitta]]'' and thereafter by ''[[kapha]]''

If after the completion of the purificatory procedures, there is presence of residual medicines, ''vamana'' must be administered. If there is no feeling of lightness, then also ''vamana'' should be performed. ''Vamana'' must be specifically performed, when there is ''staimitya'' (a feeling of wet covering), obstruction of ''vayu'' and absence of belching. ''Vamana'' should be continued till there is lightness of the body and reduction of ''kapha''. If continued, it can result in serious consequences. [21-21½]

The one who has been purified by ''vamana'' will have augmented ''agni'', leading to the alleviation of ''dosha''. He need to undergo fasting till the signs of proper digestion of drugs for ''vamana'' is seen. For one having those signs, ''peyadi kramam'' (regulatory diet regimen) has to be initiated. He should not undergo further ''langhana'' (fasting). [22-23]

When there is little elimination of ''kapha'' and ''pitta'' through purification therapy, in alcoholics and in persons with predominance of ''vata'' and ''pitta dosha'', the dietary regimen called ''tarpanaadi kramam'' need to be started instead of ''peyaadi kramam'', as ''peyadi'' may increase ''kapha'' causing ''abhishyandam'' (clogging of the channels of circulation).[25]

''Ayoga'' happens when ''asnigdha'' (under-oleated) and ''asvinna'' (under-sudated) person with ''ruksha'' nature of the body, is administered a recipe, which is stored for long duration. Here, the drug is unable to remove ''~~doshas~~'' from the body by creating ''dosha-utklesha''. Such a condition will lead to symptoms like ''vibhramsha'' (''virechana oushadha'' will lead to ''vamana'' and vice versa), swelling, hiccups, black-out, cramps in calf muscle, itching, fainting and discoloration.[38-39]

When a patient who is with ''mridukoshtha'', who is affected with hunger, is provided with an exceedingly strong ''vamana'' or ''virechana'', it results in the quick elimination of not only the faecal matter, ''pitta'' and ''kapha'', but also the ''drava-dhatu'' (liquid content of the body). Consequently, there will be sudden depression of strength and voice, dryness of throat, giddiness and thirst. In such a condition, it is preferable to eliminate the residual drug in the ''koshtha'' using the drugs of ''madhura gana'' (mentioned in sweet category).

If potent (purification) medicine is given in properly oleated patients, with ''guru koshtha''(heavy bowel), in cases of ''ama dosha'', body being lean with ''mridu koshtha'' (soft bowel), fatigued and less strength, then ''~~doshas~~'' reach ''guda'' (rectum) in ''sama'' condition and get expelled out immediately. It results in ''parikartika'' (fissure in ano) with severe pain, mucous and bloody secretions. In ''amadosha'' or ''sama'' conditions, fasting (''langhana''), digestive (''pachana''), drying (''rukshana''), should be done and easily digestible (light) and hot food must be taken. For those whose body is emaciated, every ''brimhana'' (nourishing) measure like food with ''madhura rasa'' (sweet taste) dominance must be taken. [61-63]

Chakrapani while commenting here says, one should not misunderstand the context as ''sneha sweda'' is required only once before all ''shodhana''. The mentioning of ''sneham ca ante prayojayet'', is important in clinical practice. Once the patient gets discharged from the hospital after ''shodhana'', the physician must use a ''sneha'' internally after ''peyadikramam''. Chakrapani says, it is to control the fatigue caused by the ''samshodhana karma'' that the use of ''samshamana sneha'' is told here.(Verse 7)
