Long standing Indigestion With Acidity or Colic Pain and Constipation:

Causes: Long-standing indigestion, acidity, colic pain, and constipation. The tumor grows in a circle between the heart and navel region. It may be small or large, and it can move from place to place. It may grow in either male or female, but blood tumors grow only in women. For this reason it resembles pregnancy, and a trained nurse may be needed to verify the condition.

Symptoms: Bad taste, scanty stools, scanty urine, rumbling in the stomach, frequent yawning, breathing trouble. There may also be pain, fever, weakness, retching, thirst, flushed face and body, increase of pain during digestion, and burning sensation during digestion. Tumors are big or small round-shaped growths near the navel, by the sides, or on the intestines. They may be as hard as stone, with swelling and pus. Symptoms of blood tumors: pain, burning, fever, thirst, red face and body, ceasing of menstruation, yellow face, yellow breast nipples, bad taste, idleness, spasm at the site of tumor (after long time), etc.

Treatment: Kankayan Gurika. It is applicable in all circumstances, for example: hard and swollen tumors, constipation, excessive stomach gas, indigestion, bad taste, etc. Accompanying medicines for general tumor is only hot water, and for blood tumor, milk. Kankayan Gurika in the morning, Hingadi Churna at noon is good and Gulma Kalanal Ras with myrobalam juice at night. This treatment covers all kinds of tumors. Where there is constipation, use Gulma Sardul Ras, with ginger extract, and honey. This medicine clears the bowels and softens the tumor at the same time; it is good for both kinds of tumor. Saribadi Bati is an excellent drug here. In loss of appetite and indigestion, use Bajrakshar with hot water, and in fever use Sarbajwar Bati. Painful tumor calls for Chatu-Samalauha with ghee and honey.

Diet: Light food if there is temperature; otherwise rice (old stock), kalai lentil soup, betoshak, moringa stick, tender radish, trichosanthes dioica, tender eggplant, cow milk, and goat milk. Fish and flesh, sweets, and heavy foods are very bad.
