<div style="text-align:justify;">In this chapter, two subjects are described viz. 1. Two types of patients, based on the psychological types and physical strength are seen; 2. Knowledge of micro and macro organisms that affect human  body is given. These two topics seem different, however are connected in view of varied response of humans to exogenous causative factors of disease. The first type of responding individual exaggerates their symptoms (guruvyadhita) and other type understate their symptoms (laghuvyadhita). It is important to make correct assessment of their condition to know the prognosis for proper treatment.  Knowledge of micro and macro organisms affecting the body, their etiological factors, site (location), classification, morphology, pathology, nomenclature and treatment is described. These organisms termed as ‘krimi’ have both internal and external manifestations. Three internal types explained on the basis of their origin are raktaja (originating in blood), shleshmika (originating due to kapha predominant factors), and purishaja (originating in feces). Three step treatment protocol has been mentioned i.e., nidana parivarjana (giving up etiological factors), apakarshana (extraction) and prakriti vighata (creating unsuitable environment for parasites). Thus the chapter narrates in detail about the methodology of analysis of krimi, their origin and ill effects and also the modes and medicaments to treat them. </div>

The chapter deals with importance of ''dehabala'' (physical strength) and ''sattvabala'' (psychological strength) in assessing the severity and prognosis of diseases. If a physician masters the art of assessing properly the physical and psychological strength, he never fails in proper prognosis and management of patients.

*Parasitology and Bacteriolgy in Ayurveda –Oldest recording of classification and  treatment of ''krimi'' (parasites and microbes) is found in [[Charak Samhita]]. It is obvious that they had knowledge of parasites and invisible microorganisms and their role in pathogenesis and symbiosis. Details of ''krimis'' is described under seven subheadings i.e., aetiology, nomenclature, site, morphology, colour, pathogenesis and treatment, in the text total number of ''krimi'' is mentioned as twenty.

*Classification – The ''krimis'' are classified as external and internal. Internal type has been further classified under three subtypes i.e. ''raktaja'' (originating in blood), ''shleshmika'' (originating due to ''kapha'' predominant factors), and ''purishaja'' (originating in feces).

*Morphology – Charak has described three morphological types of ''shlaishmika krimi'' which is consistent with present day parasitology, three types include platy helminths, large nematodes and small nematodes.

*Pathogenesis – ''Raktaja krimi'' are invisible and produce the symptomatology like ''kushtha'' hence they are to be treated like the disease ''kushtha''. However, The ''shleshmika'' and ''purishaja'' variety has more academic importance than therapeutic as their etiological factor and treatment are the same but the presenting symptomatology is different.

*Treatment - In this section the management principle has been described which is unique and applicable to the management of most diseases. Treatment is described predominantly for intestinal parasites. Long list of plants is mentioned for the treatment of parasites and their expulsion from the body. Per the advancement in technology and pharmaceuticals, the parasites and micro-organisms are studied in detail in modern medicine. Specific ante-helminthics and anti-microbial drugs with good clinical efficacy are available. The description of  methods of removal of parasites in Ayurveda seems to be inconvenient in today’s era, where convenient therapeutic modalities are developed by modern science. The ayurvedic drugs also need to be used in larger doses. Modern medicine drugs, for removal of common parasites are effective with convenient dosage schedule. However, these drugs are potentially toxic and are to be used with careful watch of physician.

There are two types of individuals having disease i.e. one with serious illness and other from mild disease. However, one who may be suffering from a severe disease but due to strong mental and physical constitution may project himself/herself to be suffering from a mild disease. The other one is that who may be suffering from a mild disorder but gives the impression of suffering from a severe disorder. The physicians who are not well versed in this regard fail to diagnose properly mild and severe stage of disease, merely on the basis of observation of symptoms.[3]

A partial knowledge of any subject does not provide thorough understanding of the entire scientific concept. Those who fail to diagnose a case properly, also fail to prescribe a rational remedy for the same. For instance, when they consider the severely ill person having mild disease and, administer mild evacuative drug which fails to expel (''udeerana'') out ''doshas''. Similarly, when they consider mildly ill patient to have severe disease and administer strong evacuative drug which eliminates the ''doshas'' excessively causing weakness in the body. Thus those who regard the partial knowledge as sufficient to provide complete understanding of the entire object, fail in their pursuit. On the other hand, the physicians who have thorough knowledge from all aspects and take action after examining the entire situation by all means as far as possible they achieve the desired objective.[4]

The inexperienced physicians may wrongly diagnose the severity of the disease by seeing only the appearance of the patient having psychic disorder. These ignorant ones, by administering improper remedies, cause end of the patient or severe misery to the patient. The learned ones, (on the other hand), after examining the patient by all means never commit mistakes in administration of remedial measure. [5-7]

Now we shall describe some medicated food preparations for destroying the environment for growth of the parasites-the whole plant of ''mulakaparni'' along with root, top and branches should be collected and the juice should be extracted out of it after cutting it into pieces pounding in a mortar and pressing with the hands. Mixing the flour of  the red rice (''shali'')  with  this  juice  ''pupalika''  (cake mantle)  and  cooked  on  smokeless  charcoal.  These cakes  along with  ''vidanga'',  oil  and  salt  should  be  given  to the  patient infested  with parasites  for eating.  Afterwards  he  should be  given  to  drink  the  sour vinegar or diluted buttermilk  mixed  with  five  drugs  of  ''pippalyadi''  group  (''pippali, pippalimula, cavya,  citraka, shunthi'' ) salt.  In the  same  way,  cake may be  prepared  with  the  juice  of one of these drugs ''bhringaraja, arka, sahacara,  nipa, nirgundi, sumukha, surasa, kutheraka,  gandira,  kalamalaka,  parnasa,  kshavaka,  phanijjaka,  bakula, kutaja''  and  ''suvarnakshiri''.

This jar having been  covered  with  a lid  is put  on  another  strong and  ghee-smeared  jar  which is  buried under ground  up to  neck.  Now it should be covered with cow-dung from all sides and ignited. When  it is  observed  that the  cow  dung is  well-burnt and  the stony  fruits  of  ''bhallataka''  are  free from  oil,  the  (upper) jar is taken out. Now from the lower jar  the oil is collected. It is  mixed  with double  quantity  of  the powder  of  ''vidanga''  seeds  and  dried  up  in  the  sun  for  the  whole  day.  A dose of it is administered to the patient by which he is purged well.  The after-management should be as said above. By  the same  method,  the  oil  obtained  from  the  wood  of  ''devadaru''  and  ''sarala''  may be  administered. Then at the appropriate time, unctuous enema should be given. [23-24]

Then again cleaning them well, they should be dipped in the decoction of ''vidanga'' and dried in the sun. The process should be repeated for twenty one times. There after powdering it in a mortar and again grinding it finely on stone slab one should keep it in a tub and sprinkling the ''vidanga'' decoction over it again and again one should press it with hands. During this process, whatever oil comes out, should be collected by hands and kept in a clean and strong jar which should be stored in a protected place.  [25]

Now ask (the patient) to bring two boluses each of ''bilwa pramana'' (40  gm.) weight  of the finely made paste of  ''tilwaka'' and ''uddalaka'' with the  decoction of ''vidanga'', two similar boluses of ''shyama'' and ''trivrit'' in half quantity (20gm), boluses of  ''danti'' and ''dravanti'' in further half quantity (l0 gm) and two boluses of ''chavya'' and ''chitraka'' in further half quantity (5 gm). Combining all the above material with ''vidanga'' decoction in quantity of 1.28 liter and ''vidanga taila'' in that of 640 ml. and mixing well ne should keep it in a big vessel which should be put over fire. A person sitting comfortably on a seat and keeping eye constantly on the oil from all sides should cook it on mild fire while stirring with a ladle constantly. When one observes that sound is stopped, foam is subsided, oil is clarified, proper smell, color and taste appear, the drug-paste pressed with the fingers is made into a wick, not adhering to the fingers and not being too soft or too hard. This is the time for bringing down the vessel. After the vessel is brought down and cooled, the content should be filtered through undamaged cloth and kept in a clean and strong jar closed with lid  and covered with a piece of' white  cloth and tied well with threads  should be  stored  in a protected place. Appropriate dose of this should be administered to the patient to be purged well. After proper elimination of the noxious material he should be managed as said before. Then at appropriate time, unctuous enema should be administered to him. By the same method one should prepare oils of ''sarshapa, atasi, karanja'' and ''koshataki'' and administer to the patient considering all the aspects. Thus he becomes free from the disorders.  [26]

Thus in respect of both types of parasites grown in mucus as well as in feces, causes, form, colour, names, effects and treatment have been described in common. Specifically, in case of parasites grown in feces, the same drugs should be used in lower dose and mostly by the route of non-unctuous and unctuous enema and purgatives. In case of those grown in mucus, the same should be administered in high doses mostly by the route of head-cleansing, emesis and pacification. Thus the procedure of anthelmintic management is described while observing that one should be particularly cautious in avoiding the respective etiological factors. Thus, as proposed, the therapeutic management of the patient suffering from parasites is described properly.[27]

In the era of clinical diagnosis it was very important that the physician should not do only proper diagnosis but should also assess the severity of disease so he is able to provide proper treatment without causing any harm to the patient. Hence patients should have thorough physical examination and appropriate diagnostic tests.[[Vimana Sthana]] predominantly contains the diagnostic tools. The ten point examination method of drugs is also mentioned.

=== Part B: ''Krimi'' (parasitology) ===
  
Ayurveda describes two kinds of organisms, namely ''prakrita'' (non-pathogenic), and ''vaikrita'' (pathogenic). Also described are two categories of pathogens/parasites, namely, external and internal. The internal organisms are mainly of three categories in terms of their natural environments: those that thrive on mucus (''shleshma''), those thriving in fecal matter, and those thriving in blood. Some of these, particularly the ones thriving in fecal matter seem to be intestinal parasites while others simulate microbes. The texts repeatedly advocate protecting surgical wounds from these organisms. There is also a clear description of vector borne diseases and that diseases such as leprosy, tuberculosis, conjunctivitis and fever as contagious diseases spread by contact with other patients or vectors.

It is interesting to note that these ancient texts recognized the existence of “friendly” non-pathogenic organisms and their functions  - something that is only now being considered the greatest discovery in  microbiology. It is claimed by modern scientists that our living body is made up of 10 trillion somatic cells and is home to some 100 trillion friendly microbes. This “empire” of microbes is called Microbiome. Understanding the relationship between the microbiome and the human being, the animal and the environment - is as important as unravelling human genome. The microbiome is like a well-structured organ with unique functions and hence needs to be protected in the same way as we protect our other vital organs like liver, heart or kidney.

The most important aspect of the management of any disease specifically ''krimi roga'' is the avoidance of aetiological factors by following good hygiene like clean water and food and avoid transmission from direct contact like clothing and physical contact etc. Infestation by parasites is common in people who eat food before the digestion of previous meals, excessive sweet and sour food prepared of flour, jaggery like cake/pastries etc. and sedentary lifestyle. Hence consumption of these items can be avoided for the proper treatment and prevention of re-infestation.

In comparison to modern medicine, the removal of parasites in Ayurveda seems to be inconvenient to the patient. The drugs are to be used in larger doses with limited efficacy. Modern medicine drugs, for removal of common parasites are effective with convenient dosage schedule. However, these drugs are potentially toxic and are to be used with careful watch of physician.

''Prakritivighata'' (creation of unfavorable condition preventing recurrence)- ''Prakritvighata'' means to create the environment so that ''dosha'' cannot lodge themselves in the ''dhatus''/''krimi''. This includes measures promoting ''agni'' and nourishing ''dhatus'' with ''rasayana'' therapy. The role of the ''rasayana'' is to create the healthy tissues so that vitiated ''dosha'' cannot lodge (''sthana samshraya''). As per the Ayurvedic concept, increased ''dosha'' circulates in the body and on finding a weak and suitable tissue they lodge there causing the initiation of disease process. Use of certain herbs like ''Shigru, Paribhadra'', etc. may create an environment to prevent growth of parasitic ova/cyst.

Ayurveda recognizes and describes a less-known concept of ''ojas'' (vital essence of the body) which gives biological strength (including immunity). ''Ojas'' is the final product of tissue nourishment and is the final product of all the seven ''dhatus'' namely ''rasa, rakta, mamsa, meda, asthi, majja,'' and ''shukra''. ''Ojas'' is of two types called ''para ojas'' and ''apara ojas''. ''Para ojas'' is subtle and present in very minute quantity in the heart while ''apara ojas'' is gross and amounts to handful in quantity, spread all over the body. ''Para ojas'' is vital to life and any damage or vitiation to it can result in sudden death. ''Apara ojas'' gives gross immune strength to the body and can be compared to immunity described by modern medical science. This immune strength is also called ''ojabala'' and is categorized to be of three kinds: ''sahaja bala'' or primary immunity, ''kalaja bala'' or acquired immunity through environmental factors and ''yuktikrita bala'' or artificially-induced immunity by ''rasayana'', lifestyle and suitable diet. The classics prompt to utilize these three resources to enhance the bala/immunity in order to prevent all ailments especially chronic diseases and contagious diseases.

Even though microscopy became available in 17th century, microbiology and parasitology was known and described in Ayurvedic classics in the context of immunity and body resistance. For an individual to possess immunity adequate ''ojas, bala'' and ''vyadhiksamatva'' is necessary. Role of microbes in causing disease became known to modern medicine in the last two centuries and since then discovery of antibiotics and vaccination there has been rapid advancements in the field of infectious diseases and saved millions of lives. However, indiscriminate use of antibiotics has caused change in body microbiome with resultant increase in various chronic and autoimmune diseases. Use of vaccination is also under cloud these days. Ayurvedic knowledge of ''yuktikrit bala'' or artificially-induced immunity by ''rasayana'', lifestyle and suitable diet can be very useful in prevention and treatment of microbial diseases.

Abstract

In this chapter, two subjects are described viz. 1. Two types of patients, based on the psychological types and physical strength are seen; 2. Knowledge of micro and macro organisms that affect human body is given. These two topics seem different, however are connected in view of varied response of humans to exogenous causative factors of disease. The first type of responding individual exaggerates their symptoms (guruvyadhita) and other type understate their symptoms (laghuvyadhita). It is important to make correct assessment of their condition to know the prognosis for proper treatment. Knowledge of micro and macro organisms affecting the body, their etiological factors, site (location), classification, morphology, pathology, nomenclature and treatment is described. These organisms termed as ‘krimi’ have both internal and external manifestations. Three internal types explained on the basis of their origin are raktaja (originating in blood), shleshmika (originating due to kapha predominant factors), and purishaja (originating in feces). Three step treatment protocol has been mentioned i.e., nidana parivarjana (giving up etiological factors), apakarshana (extraction) and Prakritivighata (creating unsuitable environment for parasites). Thus the chapter narrates in detail about the methodology of analysis of krimi, their origin and ill effects and also the modes and medicaments to treat them.
Keywords: Vyadhita Roopiya, Guru Vyadhita, Sattvabala, Laghu Vyadhita, Krimi, Shleshmika, Purishaja, Raktaja, Nidana Parivarjan, Apakarshan, Prakritivighta, Parasites, worms, response of patient to disease, micro-organisms.

Introduction

The chapter deals with importance of dehabala (physical strength) and sattvabala (psychological strength) in assessing the severity and prognosis of diseases. If a physician masters the art of assessing properly the physical and psychological strength, he never fails in proper prognosis and management of patients.

  • Parasitology and Bacteriolgy in Ayurveda –Oldest recording of classification and treatment of krimi (parasites and microbes) is found in Charak Samhita. It is obvious that they had knowledge of parasites and invisible microorganisms and their role in pathogenesis and symbiosis. Details of krimis is described under seven subheadings i.e., aetiology, nomenclature, site, morphology, colour, pathogenesis and treatment, in the text total number of krimi is mentioned as twenty.
  • Classification – The krimis are classified as external and internal. Internal type has been further classified under three subtypes i.e. raktaja (originating in blood), shleshmika (originating due to kapha predominant factors), and purishaja (originating in feces).
  • Morphology – Charak has described three morphological types of shlaishmika krimi which is consistent with present day parasitology, three types include platy helminths, large nematodes and small nematodes.
  • Pathogenesis – Raktaja krimi are invisible and produce the symptomatology like kushtha hence they are to be treated like the disease kushtha. However, The shleshmika and purishaja variety has more academic importance than therapeutic as their etiological factor and treatment is the same but the presenting symptomatology is different.
  • Treatment - In this section the management principle has been described which is unique and applicable to the management of most diseases. Treatment is described predominantly for intestinal parasites. Long list of plants is mentioned for the treatment of parasites and their expulsion from the body. Per the advancement in technology and pharmaceuticals, the parasites and micro-organisms are studied in detail in modern medicine. Specific ante-helminthics and anti-microbial drugs with good clinical efficacy are available. The description of methods of removal of parasites in Ayurveda seems to be inconvenient in today’s era, where convenient therapeutic modalities are developed by modern science. The ayurvedic drugs also need to be used in larger doses. Modern medicine drugs, for removal of common parasites are effective with convenient dosage schedule. However, these drugs are potentially toxic and are to be used with careful watch of physician.

Sanskrit Text, Transliteration and English Translation

Now we shall expound the chapter "Vyadhita Rupiya Vimana" (Types of patients and organisms affecting human Body). Thus said Lord Atreya. [1-2]

Two types of patients based on severity of disease and clinical presentation

इह खलु द्वौ पुरुषौ व्याधितरूपौ भवतः- गुरुव्याधितः, लघुव्याधितश्च| तत्र- गुरुव्याधित एकः सत्त्वबलशरीरसम्पदुपेतत्वाल्लघुव्याधित इव दृश्यते, लघुव्याधितोऽपरः सत्त्वादीनामधमत्वाद्गुरुव्याधित इव दृश्यते| तयोरकुशलाः केवलं चक्षुषैव रूपंदृष्ट्वाऽध्यवस्यन्तो व्याधिगुरुलाघवे विप्रतिपद्यन्ते||३||

There are two types of individuals having disease i.e. one with serious illness and other from mild disease. However, one who may be suffering from a severe disease but due to strong mental and physical constitution may project himself/herself to be suffering from a mild disease. The other one is that who may be suffering from a mild disorder but gives the impression of suffering from a severe disorder. The physicians who are not well versed in this regard fail to diagnose properly mild and severe stage of disease, merely on the basis of observation of symptoms.[3]

Consequence of improper diagnosis

A partial knowledge of any subject does not provide thorough understanding of the entire scientific concept. Those who fail to diagnose a case properly, also fail to prescribe a rational remedy for the same. For instance, when they consider the severely ill person having mild disease and, administer mild evacuative drug which fails to expel (udeerana) out dosha. Similarly, when they consider mildly ill patient to have severe disease and administer strong evacuative drug which eliminates the doshas excessively causing weakness in the body. Thus those who regard the partial knowledge as sufficient to provide complete understanding of the entire object, fail in their pursuit. On the other hand, the physicians who have thorough knowledge from all aspects and take action after examining the entire situation by all means as far as possible they achieve the desired objective.[4]

Here are the verses,

The inexperienced physicians may wrongly diagnose the severity of the disease by seeing only the appearance of the patient having psychic disorder. These ignorant ones, by administering improper remedies, cause end of the patient or severe misery to the patient. The learned ones, (on the other hand), after examining the patient by all means never commit mistakes in administration of remedial measure. [5-7]

After the proper knowledge regarding the classification of patients on the basis of their psychological and physical strength and its consequences in proper diagnosis and treatment resulting in success or failure of physician, bowing on the feet of worshipful Atreya, Agnivesha put query about all parasites inhabiting in the purisha (feces) of persons in respect of their etiology, habitat, morphological varieties, color, nomenclature, pathogenesis and treatment.[8]

Types of krimi

अथास्मै प्रोवाच भगवानात्रेयः- इह खल्वग्निवेश! विंशतिविधाः क्रिमयः पूर्वमुद्दिष्टा नानाविधेन प्रविभागेनान्यत्र सहजेभ्यः; ते पुनः प्रकृतिभिर्विभज्यमानाश्चतुर्विधा भवन्ति; तद्यथा- पुरीषजाः, श्लेष्मजाः, शोणितजा, मलजाश्चेति ||९||

Lord Atreya replied to him—O Agnivesha! Twenty types of pathogenic parasites have been mentioned here from various points of view, the non-pathogenic are other ones described elsewhere. They, being divided as per their source of genesis, are of four types-developing in feces, in mucus, in blood and developing from external excreta.[9]

Malaja krimi (parasites originating from excreta)

तत्र मलो बाह्यश्चाभ्यन्तरश्च | तत्र बाह्यमलजातान्मलजान्सञ्चक्ष्महे | तेषांसमुत्थानं- मृजावर्जनं ; स्थानं- केशश्मश्रुलोमपक्ष्मवासांसि ; संस्थानम्- अणवस्तिलाकृतयो बहुपादाश्च ; वर्णः- कृष्णः, शुक्लश्च; नामानि- यूकाः, पिपीलिकाश्च; प्रभावः- कण्डूजननं, कोठपिडकाभिनिर्वर्तनं च; चिकित्सितं तु खल्वेषामपकर्षणं, मलोपघातः, मलकराणां चभावानामनुपसेवनमिति ||१०||

Excreta are of two types-external and internal. Here the word malaja means parasites growing due to external excreta. Their etiological factor is lack of cleanliness of the body.

Habitat -hair, beard, moustaches, body hair, eyelashes and clothing.

Morphology –minute sesame seed shaped and multipedes.

Color- black or white;

Also known as- yuka (lice), pipilika(liksha, or nit).

Symptoms - itching, urticarial patches and papules.

Their treatment is - extraction, removal of external excreta from the body and to avoid the factors which are responsible for production of excreta. [10]

Shonitaja krimi (parasites in blood)

शोणितजानां तु खलु कुष्ठैः समानं समुत्थानं ; स्थानं- रक्तवाहिन्यो धमन्यः; संस्थानम्- अणवो वृत्ताश्चापादाश्च, सूक्ष्मत्वाच्चैके भवन्त्यदृश्याः; वर्णः- ताम्रः; नामानि- केशादा, लोमादा, लोमद्वीपाः, सौरसा, औडुम्बरा, जन्तुमातरश्चेति; प्रभावः- केशश्मश्रुनखलोमपक्ष्मापध्वंसः, व्रणगतानां च हर्षकण्डूतोदसंसर्पणानि, अतिवृद्धानां च त्वक्सिरास्नायुमांसतरुणास्थिभक्षणमिति; चिकित्सितमप्येषां कुष्ठैः समानं, तदुत्तरकालमुपदेक्ष्यामः ||११||

Etiological factors for raktaja (growing due to the vitiation of blood) krimi are similar to those of kushtha;

Habitat- blood vessels;

Morphology -minute, round and having no feet and some of them are invisible due to their minuteness;

Color- coppery;

Also known as – keshada (destructing hair), lomada (destructing body hair), lomadwipa (residing in hair follicles of body), saurasa(insect infesting cartilages), audumbara(which appear like clusters of ficus racemosa/cluster fig tree) and jantumatarah(a kind of fly which produces worms);

They may produce pathogenesis like-falling of hair, beard and moustache, nails, body hair, eyelashes, when they infect a wound - (they cause) oversensitivity, itching, piercing pain and creeping sensation, when they are excessively grown - they eat away skin, blood vessels, ligaments, muscles and cartilage.

Their treatment is also similar to that for kushtha (variety of skin disorders) which will be described later on (in the chapter of kushtha). [11]

The parasites growing due to the vitiation of shleshma may be caused due to food consisting of milk, jaggery, sesame, flesh of marshy animals, (rice) flour preparations, rice cooked in milk, oil of kusumbha (safflower-Schleichera oleosa), uncooked, putrefied, stale, infected, antagonistic and unsuitable items;

Their habitat is in amashaya (stomach and duodenum); when developed they move upwards or downwards or both ways;

These shlaishmika krimis on the basis of morphology and color are of three types-

  1. Those which are white, broad and like a tape.
  2. Those which are round like earthworms and white & coppery tinge in color;
  3. Others which are small, like long thread and white;

These three types of worms can have the names like -antrada (damaging intestines), udarada (damaging abdomen), hridayachara (moving in the cardiac area), curu, darbhapushpa (like the flowers of darbha), saugandhika (having specific smell), mahaguda(which reside in gastrointestinal tract);

They may produce symptoms like- nausea, excessive salivation, anorexia, indigestion, fever, fainting, yawning, sneezing, constipation, body-ache, vomiting, emaciation and roughness. [12]

Purishaja krimi (parasites in feces)

The parasites growing in feces grow due to the same etiological factor which cause shleshmaja krimi -

Their habitat is pakwashaya (large intestine and rectum); when developed they move downwards or both ways; however if they tend to move (upwards) towards stomach, eructation and breath of the patient may have fecal odor.

Their morphology and color- these purishaja krimi are morphologically of two types :

  1. some are minute round in circumference white in color and like hair of goat (wool);
  2. whereas others are big, round in circumference and may have the colors like blackish, blue, green and yellow;

These two types of worms can have the names like - kakeruka, makeruka, leliha(which lick), sashulaka(which cause pain), sausurada;

They may produce symptoms like- diarrhea, emaciation, roughness, and horripilation; on reaching the anus, they produce piercing pain and itching there; when they are exhilarated, they come out of anus frequently.

Thus these are the characteristics of the worms grown due to the vitiation of shleshma and purisha. [13]

Their treatment will be mentioned here in brief which will be described in detail later. Parasites should be extracted, then destroyed by modifying the factors responsible for their generation and development and there after abstinence from the etiological factors should be followed. [14]

Apakarshana: Extraction (removal) can be done by hands with or without the help of instruments as may be the requirement.

  • Parasites located inside the organs are extricated, as a rule, by the (eliminative) therapy. These are of four types such as nasal errhines - nasya, emesis, purgation and non-unctuous enema.

Prakritivighata: Destruction of the source of their origin and development consists of the use of pungent, bitter, astringent, alkaline and hot drugs, and other measures which are contrary to kapha and feces.

Nidanaparivarjana: Thereafter abstinence from the etiological factors-whatever is mentioned as causative factor and similar other substances should be avoided. Thus the principle of treatment is said, which will be further described in detail. [15]

The patient infested with worms should be first treated with oleation and fomentation for six or seven nights and a day before administration of evacuative therapy he should be given diet consisting mainly of milk, jaggery, curd, sesame, fish, meat of marshy animals, (rice) flour preparation, rice cooked in milk and kusumbha oil in morning and evening, in order to stimulate the worms and bring them to the alimentary tract. Next morning, when the patient is comfortably seated and his previous meal properly digested, the evacuative therapy-non unctuous enema, emesis and purgation- should be administered to him on the same day after examining all the aspects properly.

Now the patient should be asked to bring the drugs-

Mulaka (radish), sarshapa (mustard), lashuna (garlic), karanja (pongamia), shigru (drum stick), madhu shigru (a kind of drumstick), kharapushpa(katphala or vana tulasi), bhustruna, sumukha(a type of tulasi), surasa(type of tulasi), kutheraka(type of tulasi), gandira(Canthium parviflorum Lamk), kalamalaka(type of tulasi), parnasa(type of tulasi), kshavka(type of tulasi), phaninjaka(type of tulasi)- all or whichever are available, should be cut into pieces, washed well with water, put in well-cleaned cooking pot and after dipping them in cow urine diluted with half water they are cooked being stirred constantly with a ladle. When the water is mostly consumed and the drugs well-extracted the cooking pot should be brought down and the extract be taken by filtering it properly.

The tolerably warm decoction is added with the paste of the madanaphala pulp, vidanga oil, and swarjika kshara and put into the enema pot and with this non-unctuous enema should be administered to the patient properly. This enema may also be prepared with the decoction of arka, alarka, kulaja, adhaki, kushtha, kaidarya, shigru, pilu, dhanyaka, katuka and sarshapa, amalaka, shringabera, daruharidra and nimba, in combination with madanaphala etc. and is administered to the patient for three or seven days. [17]

After the last enema, the patient should be assured and on the same day evacuative drugs acting from both ways be administered to him properly. Its method is like this-

One aksha (l0 gm. ) of the paste of trivrit mixed with half anjali ( 80 ml. ) decoction of the madanaphala pulp should be administered to the patient, this eliminates the noxious material from both upper and lower routes. In this way the emetics and purgatives mentioned in the Kalpa Sthana chapter may be administered after properly examining the patient from all aspects.[18]

When the patient is purged well, he should be bathed with the warm decoction of vidanga in afternoon and he should use this decoction for all purposes of external as well as internal use in place of water regularly; if it is not available, decoction of other pungent, bitter and astringent drugs or urine or alkalis may be used for bath. After bath patient should be taken into a room which is devoid of wind and should be managed with dietetic regimen starting with yavagu (liquid gruel) cooked with the drugs like pippali, pippalimula, chavya, chitraka and shunthi. In this way when he reaches the stage of vilepi (paste gruel) unctuous enema should be administered to him with vidanga taila twice or thrice on alternate days.[19]

Stony fruits of bhallataka taken in the quantity of a kalasha (10.24 kg. rushed and kept in a strong jar smeared inside with ghee having many fine holes in the bottom and wrapped all over with clay (and dried). This jar having been covered with a lid is put on another strong and ghee-smeared jar which is buried under ground up to neck. Now it should be covered with cow-dung from all sides and ignited. When it is observed that the cow dung is well-burnt and the stony fruits of bhallataka are free from oil, the (upper) jar is taken out. Now from the lower jar the oil is collected. It is mixed with double quantity of the powder of vidanga seeds and dried up in the sun for the whole day. A dose of it is administered to the patient by which he is purged well. The after-management should be as said above. By the same method, the oil obtained from the wood of devadaru and sarala may be administered. Then at the appropriate time, unctuous enema should be given. [23-24]

Now ask (the patient) to bring two boluses each of bilwa pramana (40 gm.) weight of the finely made paste of tilwaka and uddalaka with the decoction of vidanga, two similar boluses of shyama and trivrit in half quantity (20gm), boluses of danti and dravanti in further half quantity (l0 gm) and two boluses of chavya and chitraka in further half quantity (5 gm). Combining all the above material with vidanga decoction in quantity of 1.28 liter and vidanga taila in that of 640 ml. and mixing well ne should keep it in a big vessel which should be put over fire. A person sitting comfortably on a seat and keeping eye constantly on the oil from all sides should cook it on mild fire while stirring with a ladle constantly. When one observes that sound is stopped, foam is subsided, oil is clarified, proper smell, color and taste appear, the drug-paste pressed with the fingers is made into a wick, not adhering to the fingers and not being too soft or too hard. This is the time for bringing down the vessel. After the vessel is brought down and cooled, the content should be filtered through undamaged cloth and kept in a clean and strong jar closed with lid and covered with a piece of' white cloth and tied well with threads should be stored in a protected place. Appropriate dose of this should be administered to the patient to be purged well. After proper elimination of the noxious material he should be managed as said before. Then at appropriate time, unctuous enema should be administered to him. By the same method one should prepare oils of sarshapa, atasi, karanja and koshataki and administer to the patient considering all the aspects. Thus he becomes free from the disorders. [26]

Thus in respect of both types of parasites grown in mucus as well as in feces, causes, form, colour, names, effects and treatment have been described in common. Specifically, in case of parasites grown in feces, the same drugs should be used in lower dose and mostly by the route of non-unctuous and unctuous enema and purgatives. In case of those grown in mucus, the same should be administered in high doses mostly by the route of head-cleansing, emesis and pacification. Thus the procedure of anthelmintic management is described while observing that one should be particularly cautious in avoiding the respective etiological factors. Thus, as proposed, the therapeutic management of the patient suffering from parasites is described properly.[27]

Here are the verses -

The remedy of the parasites is firstly by their extraction, then destruction of their favourable environment and avoidance of etiological factors. The three fold management which is mentioned in respect of parasites is applicable for controlling all disorder as well. Evacuation, pacification and avoidance of etiological factors-these three treatment procedures should be applied properly in every disease as per the requirement of that particular disease.[28-30]

To sum up the chapter as said in two verses- Two types of the diseased persons, for the physicians learned and ignorant along with reasoning, twenty types of parasites along with their description in seven terms such as cause etc.-all this is said by the great sage in the chapter on specific features of the appearance of the diseased etc. for the knowledge of the disciples as well as alleviation of disorders. [31-32]

Thus ends the seventh chapter on the Vyadhita Rupiya Vimana in Vimana Sthana in the treatise composed by Agnivesha and redacted by Charak.

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

This chapter has two parts in which first eight stanzas are concerned with the efficiency of physician in diagnostic accuracy whereas second part deals with parasitology. Thus, tatva and vidhi vimarsha is being described separately for both portion.

Part A: Importance of correct diagnosis

  1. The partial knowledge is not sufficient to have proper understanding of that subject. Thus, the knowledge of all aspects of the concept with all the possible tools is essential for complete understanding of that concept.
  2. Understanding of physical and mental strength is essential for assessing the proper diagnosis and the severity of disease.

Part B : Krimi (parasitology)

  1. Krimis are classified as external and internal variety mainly. They are further sub classified based upon etiology, habitat, morphology, color, nomenclature, pathogenesis and treatment.
  2. The four categories based on their habitat are: purishaja (origin in fecal matter), shleshmaja (origin in shleshma including body fluids, mucosal layers), raktaja (origin in blood), malaja (origin in body impurities).
  3. Management principles given for krimi are nidana parivarjana (removal of causative factor), apakarshana (removal of krimi) and prakritivighata (eradicating favorable environment for growth of krimi). This is collectively a complete management principle (Chikitsa Sutra) in Charak Samhita in all aspects, as all other principles are ekangika (pertaining only to one or two components of disease process).

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences)

Part A : Importance of correct diagnosis

In the era of clinical diagnosis it was very important that the physician should not do only proper diagnosis but should also assess the severity of disease so he is able to provide proper treatment without causing any harm to the patient. Hence patients should have thorough physical examination and appropriate diagnostic tests.Vimana Sthana predominantly contains the diagnostic tools. The ten point examination method of drugs is also mentioned.

Part B: Krimi (parasitology)

Ayurveda describes two kinds of organisms, namely prakrita (non-pathogenic), and vaikrita (pathogenic). Also described are two categories of pathogens/parasites, namely, external and internal. The internal organisms are mainly of three categories in terms of their natural environments: those that thrive on mucus (shleshma), those thriving in fecal matter, and those thriving in blood. Some of these, particularly the ones thriving in fecal matter seem to be intestinal parasites while others simulate microbes. The texts repeatedly advocate protecting surgical wounds from these organisms. There is also a clear description of vector borne diseases and that diseases such as leprosy, tuberculosis, conjunctivitis and fever as contagious diseases spread by contact with other patients or vectors.

It is interesting to note that these ancient texts recognized the existence of “friendly” non-pathogenic organisms and their functions - something that is only now being considered the greatest discovery in microbiology. It is claimed by modern scientists that our living body is made up of 10 trillion somatic cells and is home to some 100 trillion friendly microbes. This “empire” of microbes is called Microbiome. Understanding the relationship between the microbiome and the human being, the animal and the environment - is as important as unravelling human genome. The microbiome is like a well-structured organ with unique functions and hence needs to be protected in the same way as we protect our other vital organs like liver, heart or kidney.

This recognition of the existence of these friendly prakrita (non-pathogenic organisms) by Ayurveda thousands of years ago is of great historical significance.

Management of krimi roga

Since Charak Samhita was written, there has been enormous advancement in the field of infectious diseases, especially in the last one hundred years. This advancement is mainly in the field of Apakarshana (removal of micro-organisms and parasites) but old principles of prevention are still current. This edition of Charak Samhita has brief mention of those and reader is referred to infectious disease books for detailed knowledge.

The management principles of krimi roga are unique and applicable for management of all diseases. The three components of treatment are:

  1. Nidana Parivarjana (removal of cause)
  2. Apakarshana (removal of krimi)
  3. Prakritivighata (eradication of favorable condition preventing recurrence)
  4. Enhancing yuktikrita bala or artificially-induced immunity.

Nidana Parivarjana (removal of cause)

The most important aspect of the management of any disease specifically krimi roga is the avoidance of aetiological factors by following good hygiene like clean water and food and avoid transmission from direct contact like clothing and physical contact etc. Infestation by parasites is common in people who eat food before the digestion of previous meals, excessive sweet and sour food prepared of flour, jaggery like cake/pastries etc. and sedentary lifestyle. Hence consumption of these items can be avoided for the proper treatment and prevention of re-infestation.

Apakarshana (removal of krimi)

Ayurvedic management of parasites is recommended for expulsion of worms/parasites from gut, skin and wounds. Most of the drugs mentioned for the management are for the intestinal worms. Some drugs have also been specified for parasites of skin like lice. A long list of drugs is available in various classical texts, however following few drugs has been used widely by Ayurvedic researchers. Most commonly used drugs are:

  • Embelia ribes - Vidanga
  • Butea monospermem- Palasha
  • Carum roxburghii –Ajamoda
  • Trachysspermum amami – Yavani
  • Cyperus rotundus – Mustak
  • Malluctus philippinensis –Kampillaka
  • Azadirecta indica – Nimba
  • Holorrhena antidysentrica – Indrayava
  • Piper longum - Pippali
  • Artemisia obsinthiuum – Keetmari Yavani
  • Hyocyamus reticulatus - Paribhadra
  • Ailantus excelsa - Aralu
  • Kaempferia galanga -Seeds/bark of Shigru (Twak/Beeja)
  • Costus speciosus – Kebuk
  • Leucas aspera Spreng (Dronapushpi)

One day Panchakarma has been used for removal of krimi but because of availability of effective oral anti-parasitic agents, it is seldom used.

In comparison to modern medicine, the removal of parasites in Ayurveda seems to be inconvenient to the patient. The drugs are to be used in larger doses with limited efficacy. Modern medicine drugs, for removal of common parasites are effective with convenient dosage schedule. However, these drugs are potentially toxic and are to be used with careful watch of physician.

Prakritivighata (creation of unfavorable condition preventing recurrence)- Prakritvighata means to create the environment so that dosha cannot lodge themselves in the dhatu/krimi. This includes measures promoting agni and nourishing dhatu with rasayana therapy. The role of the rasayana is to create the healthy tissues so that vitiated dosha cannot lodge (sthana samshraya). As per the Ayurvedic concept, increased dosha circulates in the body and on finding a weak and suitable tissue they lodge there causing the initiation of disease process. Use of certain herbs like Shigru, Paribhadra, etc. may create an environment to prevent growth of parasitic ova/cyst.

Mass deworming is done by World Health Organization (WHO) in certain areas of the world where helminthiasis is common. Although deworming improves the health of an individual, outcomes from mass deworming campaigns, such as reduced deaths or increases in cognitive ability, nutritional benefits, physical growth, and performance, are uncertain or not apparent.

Enhancing yuktikrita bala or artificially-induced immunity

In case of recurrent worm infestations, emerging drug resistance to known anti-parasitic agents, together with the inability of these agents to prevent re-infection and relapse, further complicates the disease scenario[1]. In such cases, nidana parivarjana and prakrityvighata becomes important to follow for prevention. Drug Resistance is a big problem in the field of infectious diseases.

The spread of such diseases can be prevented by observing personal hygiene and promoting vyadhiksamatva or immunity with the help of leading a healthy lifestyle, following good nutrition and through administration of rasayana therapy.

Ayurveda recognizes and describes a less-known concept of ojas (vital essence of the body) which gives biological strength (including immunity).Ojas is the final product of tissue nourishment and is the final product of all the seven dhatu namely rasa dhatu, rakta dhatu, mamsa dhatu, meda dhatu, asthi dhatu, majja dhatu, and shukra dhatu. Ojas is of two types called para ojas and apara ojas. Para ojas is subtle and present in very minute quantity in the heart while apara ojas is gross and amounts to handful in quantity, spread all over the body. Para ojas is vital to life and any damage or vitiation to it can result in sudden death. Apara ojas gives gross immune strength to the body and can be compared to immunity described by modern medical science. This immune strength is also called ojabala and is categorized to be of three kinds: sahaja bala or primary immunity, kalaja bala or acquired immunity through environmental factors and yuktikrita bala or artificially-induced immunity by rasayana, lifestyle and suitable diet. The classics prompt to utilize these three resources to enhance the bala/immunity in order to prevent all ailments especially chronic diseases and contagious diseases.

Three categories of bala-dosha or immune disorders are described in the Ayurvedic texts which are comparable to three categories of immune disorders described in modern medical system:

  1. Oja-vyapat (immune-aberrations and allergies),
  2. Oja-visransa(dislodged immunity and autoimmune disorders) and
  3. Oja-kshaya (immunodeficiency).

There are specific methods and approaches to tackle the categories of immune disorders. It is evident from the description of ojabala and bala-dosha that immunology was highly advanced in samhita period of Ayurveda and the knowledge in this field was comparable to the current knowledge of immunology.

Microbiology in Ayurveda

Even though microscopy became available in 17th century, microbiology and parasitology was known and described in Ayurvedic classics in the context of immunity and body resistance. For an individual to possess immunity adequate ojas, bala and vyadhiksamatva is necessary. Role of microbes in causing disease became known to modern medicine in the last two centuries and since then discovery of antibiotics and vaccination there has been rapid advancements in the field of infectious diseases and saved millions of lives. However, indiscriminate use of antibiotics has caused change in body microbiome with resultant increase in various chronic and autoimmune diseases. Use of vaccination is also under cloud these days. Ayurvedic knowledge of yuktikrit bala or artificially-induced immunity by rasayana, lifestyle and suitable diet can be very useful in prevention and treatment of microbial diseases.

Research studies

  • Seed oils of Gynandropsis gynandra, impatiens balsamina, Celastrus paniculata, Embelia ribes and Mucuna pruriens exhibited moderate to significant anhelminthic activity. Embelia ribes showed the best anthelminthic property in parameters of time of paralysis and death of the worm.(SS Jalalpure, KR Alagawadi, CS Mahajanashetti, MN Shah, Salahuddin, Vijay Singh, JK Patil; Dept of pharmacognocy and phytochemistry, KLESC Belgaum, 2007, vol-69-p158-160)
  • Anthelminthic activity of fruits of Embelia ribes; Invitro study in comparision with the drugs Ivermectin and Levamisole done by GP Choudhary, School of pharmacy, Indore, MP, India.
