Alasaka Chikitsaa

References:
C.Vi.2, A.H.Su.8

Introduction:
The food when remains static and idle in the stomach, neither it passes down nor upwards, this stage of undigested food when remains steady in the stomach is known as Alasaka. The ingested food when lies static without either upward or downward movement in the Aamas`haya is termed as Alasaka.

This disease chiefly occurs in persons with weak digestive power, weak physique and having the habit to withhold natural urges. Later in the course of the disease all the three Dosha get vitiated and become associated with Aama, reach the minute channels and obstruct them. This results in arrest of nutrients flow and restricts all the movements; wherein the body resembles a wooden stick and is called as Dans`ha`d`aalasaka.

Saamaanya Chikitsaa:

Dan`d`aalasaka is Asaadhyato treat.
