sanskrit

[Specific causes of swelling due to dosha dominance Swelling due to vata dominance] Vata gets vitiated due to excess intake of sheeta (cold things), ruksha (rough or low calorie), laghu (very light), vishada (non-slimy substance) diets, shrama (excessive exertion), upavasa (excessive fasting), ati-karshan (emaciation), and kshapana (wasting). This vitiated vata gets into and stays within twak (skin), mamsa dhatu(muscle tissue), along with rakta dhatu (blood) and produces shotha, i.e., swelling. This swelling increases as well as subsides quickly, black or reddish in color, fleeting, pulsating, with coarse skin, rough and broken hair. The person feels different types of pain sensation like chhidyati (excision), bhidyati (incision), suchibhiriva (piercing by needles/pricking), crawling of ants, irritation (as if pasted with mustard) and a feeling of contraction or expansion. These are some of the traits of swelling caused by vata. [1] [Swelling due to pitta dominance] Pitta is vitiated due to excessive intake of hot, irritant, pungent, alkaline, salt, sour food, taking food when ailing from indigestion, or due to excessive exposure to heat and sunlight. This gets into the skin, muscle tissue, or blood and produces swelling. It also increases and subsides quickly. The affected part becomes blackish, yellow, bluish, copper-tinged, hot, or soft with brown and coppery hair. It gives a burning sensation of various forms and could be hot, sweaty, and moist. The affected region could be tender to touch and very sensitive to heat. These are the traits of swelling due to pitta dosha. [2] [Swelling due to kapha dominance] Kapha is vitiated due to excessive use of heavy to digest, sweet, cold and unctuous food, excessive sleep, sedentary life, etc. Vitiated kapha inhabits the skin, muscle tissues, and blood, causing swelling. A kapha-induced swelling grows slowly and subsides with difficulty. Affected part becomes pale, whitish, heavy, unctuous, smooth, stable, thick, with white hair, tolerant of touch and heat This is the swelling caused due to kapha. [3] [Different types due to involvement of more than one dosha] Through the combination of the causes and symptoms of two dosha (dwidoshaja), three types of swelling occur. Similarly, a sannipatika shotha is caused by the combination of respective causes and symptoms of all three dosha. [4] Thus swelling is of seven types.
