sanskrit

[Pathogeneis] The vitiated pitta enters the amashaya and gets mixed with the initial dhatu formed in the process, rasa, along with the digested food. This improperly formed rasa causes sluggish circulation and further block the micro channels of rasa and sweda. The core digestive agni gets displaced out of its original site (pakti sthana), spreading out through the body. Due to blocked channels of sweat, heat dissipation is adversely affected, causing the temperature to rise all over the body and manifest as paittika jwara.
