According to Asthang hridaya:
Lakshana (symptoms):
पित्ताद्विदग्धं तृण्मोहभ्रमाम्लोद्गारदाहवत् |
Vidagdha-ajirna is characterized by thirst delusion giddiness sour eructations and burning sensation.
Chikitsa (treatment):
विदग्धे वमनंयद्वा यथावस्थं हितं भवेत् |
In Vidagdha-ajirna, therapeutic emesis (Vamana) or any other line of treatment should be administered depending completely upon the specific clinical state of the patient(prakruti).
According to Madhav nidan:
Causes: Due to excessive water intake, irregular eating habits, suppression of natural urges and irregular sleep patterns. Acharya Madhav added the symptoms: Pitta-related pains, sour belching with a smoky sensation and sweating.
According to Acharya Sushruta:
Sushruta mentioned that one should quickly induce vomiting with warm salt water. Undigested food in a person digests quickly with cold water, its coolness destroys pitta and its moistening quality moves the food downwards.
Diet and Lifestyle:
Diet: easy to digest, old rice, barley, medicated water infused with digestive herb like jeerak and should practice langhan (fasting).
Strictly avoid excessive sour, salty foods, fermented items, citrus items.
Lifestyle: Eat regular meals when the previous meal is fully digested, never skip meals or overeat. Calm the anger and mental stress.
Do not suppress natural body urges (vegadharan).
