A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DISEASES IN THE ARTISAN SCRIPTURES WITH WESTERN DISEASES

Abstract

This study is a qualitative research to study the relationship between diseases and symptoms in the atisara scripture and western traditional medicine diseases. It studies herbal medicine groups, medicinal flavors, and collects empirical evidence by categorizing disease symptom groups in the ya mor phon book, volume 1, the atisara warg scripture, the ancient karma and the current karma, which are related to western traditional medicine symptoms. It studies herbal medicine groups, medicinal flavors, and collects empirical evidence of medicinal ingredients in the pubmed and google scholar databases. The results of the study found that atisara disease is comparable to the symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases, such as stomachache and heartburn. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, jaundice, and other symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal distension, with a total of 468 herbs, 95 formulas, the main flavors from most to least are spicy (50%), astringent (30%), bitter (10%), intoxicating (5%), aromatic (cool and sweet) (2%), and salty (oily) and sour (1%). Nutmeg is the most commonly used herb, with 54 formulas. The abdominal pain group has the most empirical evidence. In conclusion, it can be used as a guideline for medical practice to treat gastrointestinal symptoms, but further studies are needed on the effects of the formulas, because the principle of drug use is to use formulas.
