INTRODUCTION

The disease in which the deranged and incarcerated bodily Vayu produces, owing to the presence of indigestion, a pricking pain in the limbs resembling that produced by the pricking of needles is called Visuchika by the physicians. Men well-versed in the (dietetic) principles and temperate in their diet, enjoy an almost absolute immunity from its attack, whereas fools who are greedy and intemperate and eat like gluttons, fall an easy victim to it.

Yisuchi, Alasaka and Vilambika are produced from the effects of the three kinds of indigestion spoken of before (in Sutra, chapter XLVI), viz, Amajirna (indigestion properly so-called), Vidagdha-jirna (indigestion with acidity) and Vishtabdhajirna (indigestion with undigested food stuffed into the intestines in the form of undigested fecal matter).

PRICIPAL OF CHIKITSA 

In the curable types, cauterization of the regions of Parshni (heels), dry fomentation, exhibition of strong emetics and such like measures are recommended. Fasting should be observed at (the time of) the digestion of the food. Digestive (Pacana) remedies as well as purgatives should also be prescribed. The patient gets instantaneous relief in cases of fainting, diarrhea, etc., on the cleansing of his body with the medicinal (emetic or purgative) remedies. Intestinal injections after the manner of an AshthapanaVasti may be likewise applied in all cases of the present disease. Now hear me describe the recipes of other medicinal compounds which may be employed in the aforesaid diseases in addition to those already mentioned. 9—10.

A pulverised compound of Pathya, Vaca, Hingu, Kalinga (Indra-yava), Grinja (a variety of garlic), Sauvarchala and Ativisha taken with tepid water instantaneously relieves an attack of indigestion, colic, Visuchika and an aversion to food. The medicine known as Kshara-gada (Kalpa—chapter VII) or Vit -salt, or mustard-seeds and a profuse quantity of treacle, should be taken (with tepid water). Saindhava, Hingu, Vija-pura, (D. R. seeds of Shaka), clarified butter and the two Tri-vargas (Tri-phala and Tri-katu) in combination with any fermented gruel (Kanjika), or Tri-katu and Saindhava- salt mixed together with the milky exudation of Snuhi, should be taken (with Kanjika). In the alternative, the medicated salt known as Kalyana-Lavana described before under the treatment of Vata-vyadhi should be taken (with Kanjika). Pippali, Yamani and Apamarga, or Pippali and Danti in equal parts should be similarly taken. Pippali mixed with Danti should also be used with the expressed juice of Koshavati (Ghosha). Pippali and Shunthi should also be taken with hot water. 11.

The drugs known as Vyosha (Tri-katu), Karanja- fruits (seeds), the two kinds of Haridra[3] and the root of Matu-lunga taken in equal parts should be pounded together, made into Gutikas (or pills) and dried in the shade. The application of these pills as an eye-salve (Anjana) along the eye-lids proves curative in cases of Visuchika
