Abdominal bloating and tumors, Udavarta – gaseous distension of the abdomen Ruk – abdominal pain Klama – fatigue, exhaustion without doing anything to cause blockage of constipation, flatus and difficulties in urination, loss of vision. Insufficiency of digestion conditions that affect the upper part of the stomach and the heart
The reason is that the Vata is blocked in the intestine, preventing it from causing vomiting. In the rectum and intestines the natural movement that occurs in Vata can be upwards. Due to suppression of the flatus, Vata is inclined upwards and creates all the issues. Most of the problems that are explained are caused by Vata imbalance.
