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
A footnote gives five kinds of coryza: vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, sannipataja and raktaja.
Causes1
The text says vata, kapha, pitta and blood lodged in the head, provoked singly or together, produce the coryza diseases with their own qualities.
Early signs1
Before the disease: sneezing, aching of all limbs, heaviness of the head, stiffness, constant horripilation without cause, and thirst and other complications.
Treatment principle3
New, unripe coryza is calmed by drinking ghee prepared with medicines chosen by dosha; sudation, massage, gargles with the three pungents and emesis are used to ripen it; ripened coryza with thick phlegm is drained by nasal medication.
The text prescribes ghee with the five salts for vata coryza, ghee cooked with bitter, amalaki and sweet drugs for pitta and blood coryza, and ghee cooked with hot, very pungent, bitter, drying and astringent drugs for kapha coryza.
Measures such as warm dry-ginger water, medicated milk, sharp foods, pulse soups and a sour horse-gram gruel are said to make coryza ripen quickly.
Prognosis1
If the doshas are not removed in time, the coryzas in time become badly vitiated, hard to cure or fit to be refused, or bring on wasting and other grave diseases.
