Changes

Among all the ''marmas, bheda'' (injury) to these 3 ''marmas'' (''hridaya, shiras'' and ''basti'') leads to sudden loss to the body. The destruction of substance (''ashraya'') leads to the destruction of the substrate. Its injury leads to severe disease manifestation. Hence, these should be especially protected against external injury and ''vatadi doshas''.[5]

Injury to the shiras leads to manyastambha (stiffness of neck), ardita (hemiplegia with facial palsy), chakshuvibhrama (improper movements of eyeball/lesions in sight), moha (a state of confusion), udveshtana (twisting pain in the head), cheshtanasha (loss of body functions), kasa (cough), shwasa (breathlessness), hanugraha (stiffness of jaw), muka (dumbness), gadgada (hoarseness of voice), akshinimilana (ptosis), gandaspandana (twitching in cheek), jrambhana (excessive yawning), lalasrava (dribbling of saliva), svarahani (aphonia), vadana jihmatva (deviation of face) etc.

Affliction of basti causes vata- mutra- varcha nigraha (retention of flatus, urine and stools), vankshana- mehana- basti shula (pain in groin, genitals and bladder region), kundala (retrogressive movement of vata or mutra), udavarta (reflux of vata or mutra), gulma (abdominal lumps ), anila asthila (a solid mass due to aggravated vata), upastambha (obstruction or retention of urine), nabhi- kukshi- guda- shroni graha (stiffness in umbilicus, epigastrium, rectum and pelvis) etc. These mentioned symptoms due to affliction by vatadi doshas have been explained in Chikitsa Sthana with their management.
