Excessive intake of the meats of cattle, fish, pig, buffalo, goat and sheep; 3. Meat of emaciated animals, dried meat and putrefied meat. 4. Excessive intake of pastries, paramanna (preparation of milk, rice and sugar), milk, dadhimanda (whey), preparations of sesame seed and jaggery-products; 5. Excessive intake of masha, sugarcane juice, oil cake, pindaluka, dry vegetables, vinegar, garlic, kilat (cream of milk) takra-pindaka (cream of curd), bisa (thick lotus stalk ), naktamala (thin lotus stalk) shaluka, kraunchodana, kasheruka, shringataka, tarut, germinated corns and pulses, freshly harvested corns and cereals and tender radish; 6.

Intake of mandaka (immature curds) and wrongly (excess) fermented wines. 8. Drinking of polluted and heavy water, excess intake of sneha (oleation therapy), non-use of panchakarma (elimination therapies), improper basti karma (enema therapy) 9. Lack of exercise, avayaya (lack of sexual activity) or adhivayaya (excess sexual activity), sleep during day time; and habits to pleasant beds, seats and location. Similarly, the following factors are responsible for the aggravation of apana vayu. 1. Use of rough, irregular and hard seats 2. Use of vehicles carried by improperly trained animals or vehicles carried by camels 3. Excessive indulgence in sexual act; 4. Improper insertion of enema nozzle and frequent injury in the anal region. 5. Frequent application of cold water. 6. Use of rags, clods of grass, etc. for rubbing the anus 7. Continued and excessive strain 8. Forcible attempts for passing flatus, urine and stool 9. Suppression of natural urges 10. Miscarriage, pressure of the pregnant uterus and abnormal delivery in the case of women. The apana vayu aggravated by the above mentioned factors, brings down the accumulated waste products and so afflicts the anal sphincters and leads to acquired type of hemorrhoids.
