Ayoga.
: —Cramps or colic pains (Sula) in the
intestines, and heaviness and distension of the abdomen
result from the application of a Vasti charged with a
medicinal solution either cold, inadequate in quantity,
or deficient in its therapeutic virtues. All these symp-
toms are included within the term Ayoga or deficient
application of a Vasti which should be remedied by a
strong Vasti and a strong purgative. 8.
Distension of the abdomen and consequently an
excruciating pain (Sula in the regions of the sides,
back, waist and the heart result from the applications of
a Vasti to a person who has taken a second meal before
the digestion of a previous one, or in the event of the
presence of a large accumulation of Doshas (in his
b3dyy If the Vasti b^ applied in a tepid state and in
a large quantity just after a heavy meal, the results
would be the same. Similar results would follow
injections of cold medicinal solutions in large doses
saturated with only a small quantity of salt and Sneha
(oil or clarified butter as well as from those in a
person with a large accumulation of foecal matter (in his
bowels . The remedy in all these cases should consist
in the application of a Vasti charged with stronger
medicinal solutions as well as of an Atiuvdsana-
vasti. 9.
The Pitta and the Vayu of the body are conjointly
aggravated by the application of a Vasti charged with
extremely parching, hot and saline solutions which give
rise to the distress^ known as Parikartika, attended ••
ith
a sort of cutting pain in the pelvis and about the anus
and the region of the umbilicus. Applications of the
Pichchhila-vasti of a medicated Sneha cooked with the
drugs of the Madhura group should be the remedies in
these cases 10.
