ABSTRACT

In Ayurveda, the actual intrinsic factors for Samanyaj Vyadhi are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These Doshas are susceptible to imbalance and vitiation. In this vitiation or imbalance Doshgati plays important and vital role. Gati means movement and the word Doshagati implies movement of Doshas. Types of doshgati are of four types, Koshtha-Shakha-Marmasthisandhi Gati, Vruddhi-Kshaya-Sthana Gati, Urdhwa-Adha-Tiryaka Gati and Ashayapkarsha gati. Here Ashayapakarsha means displacement from original place. In this, the vitiated vata dosha displaces normal pitta or kapha from its place. This displacement of pitta and kapha from its place causes various disorders due to imbalance of pitta and kapha. Kamala is Raktapradoshaj vyadhi, where Bahupittakamala and Ruddhapathkamala are its two types. In Ruddhapatha kamala Aggrevated vata along with kapha obstruct the common bile duct which carries the bile from liver to duodenum i.e Ashayapkarsha Gati. This review of literature highlights study of Ashayapkarsha Gati in Samprapti of Ruddhapathkamala.
