of functions of apana vayu) causes di�culties like indigestion,
bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain etc; and that
of agni/ pitta leads to ulcers/ pus formation in intestine,
diarrhoea, vomiting, fever etc. certain conditions that involve
apana vaigunya and agnidushti are gulma (abnormal growths in
intestine/ abdominal organs), atisara (diarrhoea), arshas
(haemorrhoids), parikarthika (�ssure-in-ano), koshta vidradhi
(ulcerations in intestine) etc.
