CHARAK SERIES Chapter -1 Deergha Jivitiya Adhyaya 02.07.17 Lots of thanks to all readers for an active participation on Yesterday's post about the Theoretical and Clinical aspects of "SABD GUNA " and " SPARSHA GUNA " among 5 numbers of " INDRIYA GUNA ". Let us describe the rest 3 " RUPA" , " RASA" and " GANDHA" Gunas theoretical and practical approach. ////////////. TODAY'S DISCUSSION. \\\\\\\\\\\\ PART -2 THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL APPROACH TO INDIYA GUNAS 3. RUPA GUNA Relates to AGNI Mahabhut Indriya - Darshenendriya Adhisthan - 2 Eyes Linga or Lakshana - Ushnatwa ( Hotness) ---So any disturbances in the body organs where Agni Mahabhut is predominant like Grahani ( Duodenum part of Small Intestine) Agnyasaya ( Pancreas ) and Amasaya ( Stomach ) is mainly due to disturbances in "RUPA " GUNA and henceforth changes in its Lakshana " Ushnatwa" ( Hotness ). ---It is due to increase of " Jala Mahabhuta or Vayu Mahabhut " , henceforth increase of " Shitatwa " ( coldness ) at those organs . It indicates the increasment of Kapha and Vata Dosha there ( Snigdha Seeta and Ruksha Seeta respectively ). It is counteracted by drugs having Capacity to decrease Shitatwa at those place means drugs having "Agni Mahabhut " Pradhanya are the drug of choices. Example - In " Ajirna " the disturbances are due to Manda Agni ( weak digestion capacity ) I.e. increase of Shitatwa and Sthiratwa ( decrease peristaltic movement ) there. So we select the drugs having Agni Deepaka and Pachaka activity ( Agni Mahabhut Pradhanya) and Vayu Anulomaka ( by increasing Chalatwa Guna I.e. by managing the Vata disturbances there.) 4. RASA GUNA - Relates to Jala Mahabhut Indriya - Rasanendriya Adhisthan or Location - Tongue Linga or Lakshana - Dravatwa ---- So any disturbances in the organs or Systems having Jala Mahabhut Pradhnyata e.g. Blood Vascular System, Lymphatic System and Excretory System is due to disturbances in " RASA " Guna and changes in it's Lakshana " Dravatwa" ---- It is due to increasment of " Prithvi" Mahabhut at that place , henceforth increase in " Sandrata" ( Viscosity or Solidity ) at those places. By which " Kapha " Dosha aggravated more and counteracted by drugs which can increase Dravatwa at those places . It means a viscous liquid become less viscous by dilution or increase in Kinetic Energy in between the molecules, so that they move rapidly and decrease Sandrata. ---- Drugs having " Jala / Vayu " Mahabhut Pradhanyata counteract the situation by decreasing Sandrata and increasing Mobility. Example - 1. In almost all Ischaemic Heart diseases or Ischaemic Brain Stroke, the Viscosity of blood increases I.e increase in Sandrata. So this condition can be counteracted by medicines of Jala Mahabhut Pradhanyata which increase Dravatwa of Blood or Vayu Mahabhut Pradhanyata drugs which increase the Mobility of Blood. 2. In degenerative diseases like O.A.the Synovial fluid become more thick ( increase Sandrata) then gradually decreases in amount. It is counteracted by the drugs which can increase the Dravata in Synovial fluid ( drugs which may regenerate Synovial fluid ) and increases the Mobility of Joints.( increase Chalatwa Lakshana ) 5. GANDHA GUNA Relates to Prithvi Mahabhut. Indriya - Ghranendriya Adhisthan or Location - Nose Linga or Lakshana - Kharatwa ( Roughness) ---- So any disturbances in Organs or Systems e.g. Skeletal systems ( Bones, Cartilages etc ) where the Prithvi Mahabhut is predominant, is due to " GANDHA" Guna disturbances or changes in it's Lakshana " Kharatwa ". --- It is due to increasment of " Vayu Mahabhut " there which can be counteracted by the drugs having Smoothness property I.e. increase of " Jala or Agni " Mahabhut which can decrease Kharatwa by their Polishing or Burning capacity. Example - In Corns,The integumentary system ( Skin ) become more Rough and dry due to increase of Vayu Mahabhut and Kharatwa Lakshana. It can be counteracted by drugs having Agni Mahabhut , hence Agni Karma is also indicated and post Agni Karma apply of Aloe Vera Pulp increases Smoothness. Today the article is very much tough to write, I have tried my best to simplify the fundas with possible examples. Requesting readers to suggest More and more Suggestions and examples corelate with these Indriya Guna. Now is the time to give rest my Pen and Mind. Thanks , With Regards, Vaidya Niranjan Ram
