अष्टाङ्गहृदयम्

Astanga Hrudaya

उत्तरस्थानम्

Uttara Sthana

The passage notes that post-birth care involves cleansing, chanting, and a dietary transition from honey to butter. Milk quality indicates maternal health, with vitiation requiring herbal decoctions. Graha possession causes distinct physical and behavioral symptoms, demanding ritual or medicinal intervention, while Bhuta afflictions stem from intellectual transgressions. Insomnia arises from dosha imbalances, treated with purgation, medicated ghees, and shock therapies. Incurable signs warrant refusal of treatment. Apasmara epilepsy stems from dosha-obstructed channels, requiring purification and specific herbal ghees. Ocular diseases like Kumbhi and Timira arise from dosha localization in eye layers, causing symptoms ranging from swelling to visual distortion. Treatments involve surgical excision, scraping, and medicated applications like honey or ghee. While some conditions are curable, sannipataja epilepsy is incurable due to its complex, multi-dosha nature affecting vital organs. The text details treatments for eye and ear disorders. Eye remedies include decoctions, ghritas, and puncturing couching for cataracts. Abhishyanda varieties require specific pastes, fasting, or branding. Ear conditions like Karna Nada or Putikarnaka are treated with ghee, oils, emesis, or bloodletting, depending on the dosha origin, with strict post-operative care for surgical interventions. Environmental and behavioral factors provoke doshas, causing nasal and head disorders like Pratishyaya and Shirastapa. Symptoms vary by dosha: Vata causes dryness and pain; Pitta brings fever and burning; Kapha results in heaviness and discharge.
