== Drowsiness (Tandra) ==
Tandra is a state similar to sleep. Aggravated [[kapha dosha]] is directed upwards in head by the [[vata dosha]]. This slows down the blood circulation to the head and leads to a state of loss of sensation and severe delusions. This state is called as “tandra”.[ A.S. Sutra Sthana 9/38-39] In this state, the sense organs are non-receptive. The person feels sleepy with the heaviness of the body, excess yawning and exhaustion. [Su. Sa. Sharira Sthana 4/49] The eyes are wide open, eye-balls rolled in, dilated pupils, the outflow of tears and deranged eye lashes are seen in this condition. [A. S. Sutra Sthana 9/38-39]
