Abstract
Ayurveda is a Science of life having the holistic ways to treat diseases
and to give a healthy life. The main aim of Ayurveda is “To maintain
the health and to cure diseased one”. In the context of Annavaha
Srotasa, the diseases predominantly disturbing the daily life are
Annadrava Shoola and Parinama Shoola. So, knowledge of these two
are important as it is the main cause of diseases of other system.
Pathogenesis of Shoola starts with intake of Viruddhahara leading to
Agnimandya and formation of Aama, which causes a chain of events
i.e. Ajeerna followed by Amlapitta (hyperacidity) and finally
culminating into Shoola (both Parinama and Annadrava). Burning
epigastric pain exacerbated by fasting and relieved by meals is a
symptom complex associated with Shoola. Annadrava Shoola and Parinama Shoola in
modern science can be correlated with Peptic ulcers and duodenal ulcers. Peptic ulcers and
Duodenal ulcers affect thousands of people and in clinical practice are the most common
gastrointestinal disorders. So the main aim is to understand Annadrava Shoola and Parinama
Shoola in the context of Peptic Ulcer Disease. Although Neutralization of Pitta and
Anulomana of Vata are basic principle of Shoola management but Some sort of Pathya-
Apathya also helps to improve symptoms of Annadrava Shoola and Parinama Shoola.
Keywords: Agni, Shoola, Aana, Aama.
