In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)
Source: Shodhganga: Edition translation and critical study of yogasarasamgrahaUdāvarta (उदावर्त) refers to “abdominal disease due to retention of afeces” and is one of the various diseases mentioned in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes.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 udāvarta] 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).
Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-śāstraUdavarta (उदवर्त) refers to the medical condition when “wind then forces its way constantly upwards and pushes up stool and urine” and, together with Plīhodara, represents one of the eight types of udararoga (“diseases affecting the belly”) according to the fourth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 8). Accordingly, “Eating in excess of food, not containing fat, and of such articles of food-stuff as old mudga, chanaka, and other grams causes an irritation of vayu moving in the abdomen. Thus irritated, the wind blocks the passages through which stool and urine pass, and mixes with them, cansing ailments in the heart, back, belly, abdomen, and head; and fever with cough and breathing difficulty. This wind then forces its way constantly upwards and pushes up stool and urine. This is what is meant by udavarta. [...] Udavarta is cured by hingu, honey, and rock-salt, pestled together, saturated with clarified butter, and entered into the rectum”.
