DESCRIPTION

Matrashiteeya is the 8th chapter of Ashtang Hriduya. This chapter tells us about the exact quantity of food to take, the right time to take food, different types of indigestion and their treatment, qualities, and types of drinks, the right method of food intake, etc.

Right Amount of Food – Aharamatra Apeksha:

• People should always consume the proper quantity of food. The right amount of food intake activates Agni –digestion power (which is called the fire in Ayurveda).
• Food that is light to digest and those that are hard to digest both require a specified time for proper digestion.
• In general, if the food is heavy to digests such as oily food and non-veg etc. should be consumed till half of the satiation level achieved. 
• If the food is light to digest, it should be intake till one is not overly satiated. The right quantity of food is that which undergoes easy digestion.

• Effect of taking more or less amount of food – less quantity of food intake does not increase strength, immunity. The body will not be nourished properly and leads to Vata imbalance disorders. Excess quantity of food is not desirable and causes a quick increase of Doshas in the body. 
• Effects of overeating – Eating excess quantity of food increased Vata and other Doshas suddenly together and it combined with the undigested and vitiated food which produces diseases such as Alaska disease by blocking the movement of food inside the gastrointestinal tract and Visuchika by expelling out the undigested food in both downward and upward Directions through diarrhea and vomiting simultaneously. This is seen in persons who are not self-controlled.
• Alaska – indigestion + constipation – Food neither comes out in the upward direction by vomiting nor from the downward direction by Purgation. Nor it undergo digestion in the stomach. It stays in the stomach and this condition is known as Alaska.
  
• Visuchika – Gastroenteritis – Sudden and profound aggravation Vata, along with other Doshas, the person experiences pain in the entire body like pricked by needles, hence this disease is called Visuchika.

Influence of different Doshas in Alaska and Visuchika –

If Vata is aggravated, it causes 

• Shula – abdominal pain
• Bhrama – Delusion
• Anaha – bloating, fullness
• Kampa – tremors
• Stambha – stiffness etc symptoms.

If Pitta is aggravated, it causes

• Javara – fever
• Atisara – diarrhea, dysentery
• Antardaha – internal burning sensation
• Trishna– excessive thirst
• Pralaya – panic, unconsciousness

If Kapha is aggravated, it causes

• Chardi – Vomiting
• Angaguruta – the heaviness of the body
• Vak Sangha – Difficulty to speak
• Shteevana – excessive salivation, expectoration, and spitting

Manifestation of Alasaka symptoms:

• Alaska occurs typically in that person who is weak, 
• People who have low digestion strength 
• People who suppress urges, habitually. 
• In those people, Vata gets increased and gets associated with Kapha dosha to obstruct the movement of undigested food in the digestive tract. 
• It causes the food to stay in the stomach as a foreign body and causes abdominal colic and other symptoms without vomiting and diarrhea. 

Dandalasaka

Highly impair Doshas, move into vitiated and obstructed channels by the accumulation of undigested food and these Doshas get obstructed in the GI tract and begin to move in other channels. Thus these Doshas spread throughout the body and make the body stiff like a log of wood. This disease is known as Dandakalasaka, this should be rejected for treatment as it is quick in causing Death.

Ama Dosha

Persons who indulge in –

• Viruddha Ashana – taking incompatible foods,
• Adhyashana – taking excess food
• Aajeerna Ashana – Eating over undigested food,
• Develops the tremble Amadosa which is similar to poison. Hence it is also called Amavisha. Such people avoid treatment because of its similarity with poison, quickness in causing death.

Treatment of Alaska 

• Undigested food stay inside the gastrointestinal tract should be removed quickly after deciding the conditions of easy management.
• The person is made to drink warm water mixed with powder of Vacha, Saindhava, and Madanaphala. 
• This will cause vomiting, this therapy is followed up with Swedana, Next, Phalavarti prepared from fruits which helps in downward movement of faces and flatus should be administered, the body part which is rigid should be well fomented and then wrapped with a cloth.  

Treatment of Vishucika –

The patient should be on fast that day and taken care of as the one who has undergone purgation therapy. All the post-Virechana procedures and treatments should be given to the veeshuchika patient. 

Aama Dosha Chikitsa – 

• The patient of indigestion who having severe abdominal pain should not take pain killer drugs, the Agni (digestive fire) which is associated with Ama improperly processed metabolites will not be able to digest the Doshas, drugs and food combination arising severe trouble will soon kill the patient.
• After the food is found digested, if stiffness and heaviness of the abdomen persisting, then the medicines should be given to digest the residue Doshas and to stimulate the Agni. 
• Diseases produced by Ama become relieved by Apatarpana, three kinds of Apatarpana, appropriate to the three Doshas of the body should be adopted after careful consideration of all the aspects.
• If Ama is small, only Langhana (fasting) will be suitable, 
• If Ama is moderate Langhana (fasting) and Pachana (digestive drug) needed, 
• If Ama is severe, then Shodhana (purification through Panchakarma therapy) is necessary, which will expel out the Dosha and Ama from the very root. 
• Treatment principle for diseases other diseases should be treated by adopting the treatment which is opposite their causative factors. This is called Hetu Viparyaya Chikitsa. “Hetu” means “causative factors”, however, the diseases reoccur for a long time then the Hetu Viparyaya should be given up and disease-specific treatment should be adopted. It is called Vyadhi Viparyaya Chikitsa.
• When the Doshas returned to their normal level, when the Ama is completely relieved, when digestion activity is completely restored to normal, then Oleation therapies and enema therapy, etc. should be administered appropriately.

– If you get angry due to traffic, then look for another route or find a bus, pool car, train etc.

– If you do not know to forgive then it becomes impossible to resolve the quarrel. The solution comes out of ending the sentiment of punishment. Punishment does not improve our lives, but only our own loss.

– Do not be hasty to say anything that has come to mind. Thoughtfully, one should speak carefully. Also, listen to what other people are saying.

– During the night, when the husband and wife discuses any point, a quarrel ensues. This may be due to fatigue throughout the day or any tension at home or office. In such a situation, the time to do important things should be changed.
