What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Classification1
The commentary names parikartika as the purgation complication of the anus, in whose place emesis has throat soreness.
Causes1
The text says an enema of very dry, very sharp, very hot or too salty drugs provokes vata together with hot pitta and so causes parikartika.
Signs and symptoms1
It is described as a pulling or cutting pain over the whole anus, navel and bladder region.
How it develops1
When a weak person with very low digestive fire and a soft bowel drinks a very dry purifying medicine, it quickly vitiates vata joined with pitta and produces severe parikartika (pain like cutting with scissors), with heat in the abdomen, retention of stool and urine, and aversion to food.
Treatment principle1
The patient is given an asthapana enema of milk mixed with oil, ghee and liquorice, an anuvasana enema of ghee and milk, and his meals with milk.
