What the text says

Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.

Causes1

  • The text names vibandha as a complication of emesis and purgation: if a person takes very cold drinks, wind and the like while the cleansing is still going on, the doshas in the channels congeal into a mass.

    Chapter 22 · p. 520 · v. 85Hindi commentaryTraditional description

Signs and symptoms1

  • The congealed doshas block stool, urine and wind, stop the flow of the emesis or purgation and weaken the digestive fire, giving rise to abdominal gurgling, fever, burning, colic, fainting and other disorders.

Other1

  • Footnotes cite another text (one whose doshas are flowing up or down resorting to a cold room, water, wind or the like) and Sushruta, for whom the word means that the doshas stop the flow of emesis and purgation.
