Introduction:
Kaars`hya is emaciation of the body. It is one of the conditions in Asht`a Nindita Vyaadhi (eight reproached / defamed diseases), which provide the base for a number of diseases to manifest in the body. Contrary to Sthaulya this condition necessitates substantively increasing the body constituents, which is comparatively easy hence it is considered to be better than Sthaulya.
Saamaanya Chikitsaa
Brimhan`a is the key treatment for Kaars`hya.
The substance should be Laghu (easy to digest) and Santarpan`a (refreshing, increasing the body constituents Dhaatu).
Maamsa is the most effective Brimhan`a Dravya to be used for treating Kaars`hya.
