In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)
Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “disease of heart” and is one of the various diseases mentioned in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning hṛdroga] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).
1) Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) or Hṛdrogacikitsā refers to one of the topics discussed in the Madhumatī, a Sanskrit manuscript ascribed to Nṛsiṃha Kavirāja collected in volume 12 of the catalogue “Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts (second series)” by Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasad Shastri.—The Madhumatī manuscript, consisting of 5,586 ślokas (metrical verses), is housed in Dhaka with Babu Bhagavancandra Dasa Kaviraja. It seemingly addresses topics related to Medicinal, Herbal, and Iatrochemical preparations. The catalogue includes the term Hṛdroga-cikitsā in its ‘subject-matter list’ or Viṣaya (which lists topics, chapters and technical terms). The complete entry reads—atha hṛdrogacikitsā.
2) Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to one of the topics discussed in the Rasakaumudī.—The Rasakaumudī by Mādhavakara represents a treatise on practice of medicine and therapeutics. It is a leading work on Hindu medicine, very largely studied in Bengal containing causes and symptoms of diseases. It contains 3,092 ślokas.—The complete entry reads: hṛdrogādhikāre,—hṛdayārṇavarasaḥ pañcānanarasaḥ.
Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “heart-diseases” according to the fifth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 6). Accordingly, “Heart-diseases (hridroga) are due to (a) eating or drinking in excess of articles which are very hot, or heavy or hitter or astringent in taste, (b) hard labour; (c) physical shock, especially received in the region of the heart; (d) taking a fresh meal before the preceding one is digested; (e) worries and mental strain; (f) and suppression of calls of nature”.
Heart-diseases (hridroga) may be due to any one of the following causes, and are, therefore, of five different kinds:—(a) abnormal excess of vayu, (b) ditto of pitta (c) ditto of kapha, (d) ditto of the three combined, and (e) worms.—In all of these diseases, the chyle is vitiated by any one or all of the three doshas and give rise to troubles in the heart (hridroga).
Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “cardiac disorder” and is caused by excessive intake of heavy, astringent, bitter and hot food, over-eating, exertion, psychic factors (worry, anxiety, anger etc.) and suppression of urges. Doṣas aggravated thus vitiate the rasa and being situated in heart produce the disease having symptoms according to predominance of vāta etc.
1) Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “heart-disease”, mentioned in verse 4.15-16 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Visceral induration, heart-disease [viz., hṛdroga], and stupor (result) from suppressed panting with fatigue. In this case relaxation (is) wholesome and the wind-destroying method of treatment”.
Note: The dvandva compound gulmahṛdrogasaṃmoha—“visceral induration, heartdisease, and stupor” has been represented somewhat incongruously by skran daṅ sñiṅ nad myos-par ’gyur, lit. “one gets sick with visceral induration and in the heart (as well as) stuporous”. Were it not for the terminative myos-par, one would rather translate: “visceral induration, heart-disease, (and) stupor are caused”.
2) Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) can also refer to “diseases of the stomach”, as mentioned in verse 5.8-9.—Accordingly, “[...] (Those) [rivers, viz., nadī] springing from the Himavat and the Malaya, which hold water retarded by its bounding against rocks and its (consequent) dashing down and bursting asunder, (are) salutary; those, however, (which are) stagnant produce worms, elephantiasis, and diseases of the stomach [viz., hṛdroga], throat, and head; [...]”.
Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “heart disease”. Vatsanābha (Aconitum ferox), although categorized as sthāvara-viṣa (vegetable poisons), has been extensively used in ayurvedic pharmacopoeia.
Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “heart diseases”, and is dealt with in the 17th-century Vaidyavallabha (chapter 6) written by Hastiruci.—The Vaidyavallabha is a work which deals with the treatment and useful for all 8 branches of Ayurveda. The text Vaidyavallabha has been designed based on the need of the period of the author, availability of drugs during that time, disease (viz., hṛdroga) manifesting in that era, socio-economical-cultural-familial-spiritual-aspects of that period Vaidyavallabha.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
