A REVIEW OF LITERATURE OF SIRAJ GRANTHY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AYURVEDA

Apabahuka is one such disease that hampers the day-to-day activity of an individual. The fact that Vata vyadhi is one among the Ashta maha gada, is itself explanatory, with regard to the consequences caused by Apabahuka. Even though a definite factor responsible for the manifestation of this disease is not mentioned, a set of etiological factors can be interpreted. On analyzing the etiopathology, it may be interpreted that the disease Apabahuka manifests due to the depletion of tissue elements (dhatu kshaya) as well as Samsrushta dosha.
