sanskrit

Regarding Excessive Emaciation and its Management: Effects of Excessive Emaciation: Impact on Rasadhatu: Excessive emaciation (karsya) leads to depletion of Rasadhatu (the nourishing tissue), causing weakness and a lack of vitality. Symptoms: This results in reduced physical strength, sensitivity to cold, heat, and external pressures, and susceptibility to Vata-related disorders. It can lead to various health issues such as cough, phlegm, weakness, and eventually, severe conditions that may be life-threatening. Management of Emaciation: Dietary Remedies: Use of remedies such as Ashwagandha, Vidari, Shatavari, and other strengthening herbs. Nourishing Foods: Consumption of milk, curd, ghee, meat, rice, and various grains helps to restore vitality and support body functions. Lifestyle Adjustments: Incorporate daytime sleep, Brahmacharya (celibacy), exercise, and appropriate therapies to balance the doshas and improve health.
