Introduction

The science of living things is called Ayurveda. It has offered numerous facets and guidelines to be adhered to in order to improve the standard of living. Numerous basic concepts have been put forth in Ayurveda to meet its dual goals of maintaining health and healing sickness. First and foremost, achieving the second goal necessitates a thorough understanding and diagnosis of a disease, which is dependent on the effectiveness of treatment. In light of this, two general categories of illnesses have been put forth: endogenous diseases (Nija Vyadhi) and foreign diseases (AgantujaVyadhi).^[1] This has led to the further classification of endogenous diseases into Samanyaja and Nanatmaja categories.^[2] In this context, diseases that are caused by a single Dosha and do not involve the anger of any other Doshas are referred to as Nanatmaja Vikara, whereas Samanyaja Vyadhi are those that have two or more Dosha involved in their etiology.^[3] We are discussing forty Pittaja Nanatmaja Vikaras inthisarticle.

Aim and Objectives

1. To emphasize and discuss on the Pitta Nanatmaja Vyadhi.
2. Management of Pitta Nanatmaja Vyadhi.

Materials and Methods

Material for this study was mostly gathered from scientific journals on the Internet and the Samhita of Ayurveda in order to learn more about the subject of ourinvestigation.

Discussion

According to the Ayurvedic classics and the viability of their comprehension, there are innumerable illnesses. Different classes have been established based on distinct criteria. A physician must have accurate information of the disease in order to use the appropriate treatment principles and medications. Therefore, Samanyaja Vyadhi and Nanatmaja Vikara are two wide classifications developed by ancient seers to see this. It is believed that both health and ailments stem from a balanced or unbalanced condition of Tridoshas, and that Samanyaja and Nanatmaja Vikara are solely dependent onthisTridosha.

Management principles of Pitta disorders:

तं मधुरतिक्तकषायशीतैरुपक्रमैरुपक्रमेत स्नेहविरेकप्रदेहपरिषेका-भ्यङ्गादिभिः

पित्तहरैर्मात्रां कालं च प्रमाणीकृत्य; विरेचनं तुसर्वोपक्रमेभ्यः

पित्ते प्रधानतमं मन्यन्ते भिषजः; तद्ध्यादित एवामाशयमनुप्रविश्य

केवलं वैकारिकं पित्तमूलमपकर्षति, तत्रावजिते पित्तेऽपि शरीरान्तर्गताः

पित्तविकाराः प्रशान्तिमापद्यन्ते, यथाऽग्नौ व्यपोढे केवलमग्निगृहं शीतीभवति तद्वत् || ^[5]

Abnormal Pitta disorders should be managed by drugs having sweet, bitter, astringent, and cooling qualities. Any therapeutic modalities administered, such as oleation, purgation, fasting, affusion, massage, etc. should have anti-Pittaja properties and must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Of all the above mentioned procedures, purgation is regarded as the most effective mode of treatment for the management of Pittaja Vyadhi. When Pitta is overcome in the Amashaya through administration of purgative substances, the disorders of Pitta in other parts of the body are automatically pacified just like a fire chamber cools down when thefireisdoused.
