Ayulink Ayurveda: shotha can be a disease and shotha can be symptom too. aama is also one of the major cause for swelling or inflammation

14223: Divabali- ratribalishoth

Ayulink Ayurveda: Shotha is independent disease described in Charaka Chikitsastahna. In all diseaes where Shotha is mentioned , it is a symptom .Shotha could be external as well as internal . Yes , these are types of Nija Shotha , and also shotha could be Aagantu . nij means internal , agantu are due to external samprapti.

The vitiated Vata dosha displaces the vitiated (morbid) rakta (blood), pitta and kapha and pushes them into the channels of circulation. The Vayu is further obstructed by these morbid elements and causes accumulation of pitta, kapha and rakta in between twak (skin) and mamsa (muscle). Then occurs swelling at the region of accumulation and is called Shotha.

Swelling

     1 traumatic (locally)

     2 cardiogenic (lower limb)

     3 liver failure (mostly lower limb)

     4 kidney failure(generalised)

     5 hypothyroidism (generalised)

     6 post traumatic chronic(locally)

Vd. Sachin Kadlag: " उत्सेध ( Utsedha ) "  term  generally denotes  " swelling".  श्वयथु /शोथ /शोफ , these terms are used to describe inflammations . In Charaka Shotha  is explained in Chikitsa sthana  which mainly deals with inflammatory independent disease . While In Charaka Sutrasthana chapter 18  , there is collection of different types of disease whre  different types of inflammations  are present .
