Foreign Matter Theory: Definition and Formation of Foreign Matter
Foreign Matter Theory
In naturopathy, foreign matter has been considered as the
root cause of all diseases. When more foreign substances accumulate in our body
than necessary, they take the form of disease. Due to unnatural eating and
living habits, there is an increase of foreign substances in our body and it is
not able to get out normally through the faeces of the body and keeps
accumulating in the body. This foreign matter is actually the contaminant of
our body, faeces, urine, sweat, phlegm, contaminated air, contaminated breath,
contaminated blood, contaminated meat or any other such thing which does not
mix with healthy blood and flesh and becomes a part of the body. She goes.
The origin of disease in the body is from the foreign matter located in the body. Disease occurs when the accumulation of faeces or foreign matter crosses the threshold point.
There are four paths or institutions of purification of the body, which in their own way remove foreign matter.
1. Respiratory tract as contaminated air
2. Urethra as liquid urine,
3. Skin passage as liquid sweat
4. Faeces or anus as solid faeces.
That is, the foreign matter
comes out of the body through the skin, kidney or kidney, lungs and intestines.
We know that our body is made up of cells. Every cell needs food from outside
to survive, it has to be digested and absorbed. These actions also produce some
waste or faeces that are toxic. Hence, it needs to be removed from the body.
Apart from this, the fund also needs air. Oxygen is needed. It is also
necessary to remove carbon dioxide after taking up oxygen. Similarly, it is
also true that koshas end their own lives. Therefore, it is necessary to remove
the toxic element as well. If these cleansing organs – lungs, skin, kidneys and
intestines – are put under pressure by overeating or undigested food and
improper lifestyle, foreign substances begin to accumulate in the body and
interfere with normal functioning. ,
Diseases begin due to the accumulation of foreign substances
in the body. First this accumulation is collected in the pelvis. Beginning to
accumulate near the expulsion route, the disorder progresses to greater
distances, such as toward the head and extremities. This process is very slow
when no special circumstances arise. The inclination of the substance is
usually towards the upper part of the body. In this effort he makes his way
through the system part of the neck. At first this part feels big and then it
feels like swelling. Later, they swell in the form of nodules, completely
covering the organ and those areas begin to shrink. The colour of the skin also
starts changing. There is also a change in the part of the pelvis. In this way
the entire shape of the body is affected. The foreign matter accumulates slowly
in the body, so changes in the body also take place gradually. Due to which it
is not clearly reflected in the early stages of the disease. Although the body
becomes diseased, but because of the absence of pain, it does not feel the
disease. When he begins to feel that he has less appetite, feels more tired and
continues to be mentally disturbed, then he feels that there has been an
abnormality in his body. If the foul-smelling urine gets better, the lungs
continue to work fine, then he doesn't have to worry. But when these organs are
affected, then he becomes concerned about his physical condition.
Definition of Foreign Matter
As the name suggests, the foreign matter does not belong to
the species of the body. Those disorders or things of the body which together
with healthy blood and flesh cannot form part of a healthy body, which cannot
nourish the body, on the contrary, can cause its destruction or damage, which
is called doshas or foreign matter. Foreign matter has many names, such as
disease, stool, disorder, poison, layer, accumulated impurities, foreign
matter, filth, diseased substance, poison, deformity etc. In Ayurveda, foreign
matter is called doshas and this doshas is termed as dosha. It is believed to be
the cause of disease.
Dosha Vahi Sarvesh Rognamakakarnam. - Vagbhatta
That is, dosha is the sole cause of all diseases.
Charaka has also said-
Sarveshmeva roganam nidanam kupita malaah.
Tatprakopasya tu proktam vividhitsevanam. - Charki
The waste that is inside the body, such as- faeces, urine,
sweat, phlegm, contaminated breath, contaminated blood, contaminated meat, pus
etc. This is known as dosha, disorder, faeces or foreign matter.
About what is foreign matter, Louis Kuhne has said that
"foreign matter is absolutely useless and the body does not need it. There
is no effect of foreign matter on a healthy person. If it were, foreign matter
would accumulate in that aspect." the aspect on which he sleeps. It is a
matter of happiness that the body itself keeps on expelling the foreign matter
through boils, sweat, etc. When a lot of foreign matter is removed in this way,
the body gets Great peace is attained. If foreign matter keeps accumulating in
the body then diseases start to occur in the body. A foreign substance is a
liquid. It has rot and more rot will increase its temperature. The foreign
matter particles will rub against each other and When we rub with the body, so
the temperature rises, we call it fever, i.e. (1) when there is no clean
toilet, (2) when urine is not open, (3) when there is no sweating, then fever
occurs.
Formation of Foreign Matter
The foreign substances that we call doshas, disorders,
rotten stools, are caused due to our adopting unnatural food and
lifestyle. They enter our body in two ways. The first from the nose into the
lungs and the second from the mouth into the stomach. Due to not getting enough
essential air in the lungs due to air and environmental pollution, foreign
substances get collected which we know by the name of various diseases. In the
same way, the digestive power of the body becomes weak due to wrong eating
habits. When food is consumed in excess and too spicy, spicy, spicy, fried,
acidic food is taken, the body is unable to expel it naturally through stool,
urine and sweat etc. In this way, these foreign substances start accumulating
inside. , Mixing in the blood creates disturbance in the blood flow and the
digestive system gets disturbed. These foreign substances gradually accumulate
around the cells of the body which flush it out and obstruct their work. Then
they start causing all kinds of diseases.
Foreign matter is generated in our body and the work of its removal in our body also goes on continuously, but if there is an obstruction in the process of removal or foreign substances from outside start entering our body and due to many other reasons. Foreign substances start coming into our body. We grow, then we become diseased. Due to unnatural lifestyle and wrong eating habits, the amount of foreign matter starts increasing in our body.
Apart from this, there are many other reasons due to which foreign matter starts entering or forming in our body, some of which are as follows-
1. By respiration- Small germs, dust particles, smoke, odor, harmful gases and other foreign substances, which keep flying in the air with the breath, go into the body.
2. Through the mouth - Through the mouth the germs and dirt found in water or other food items enter the body and increase the foreign matter in the body.
3. Due to the bite of poisonous animals- snakes, scorpions,
mosquitoes, insect-mites, etc., their poison enters the body and foreign
substances start increasing in the body.
5. Consumption of narcotics- Tobacco, ganja, charas,
cigarette, opium, alcohol etc. also increases the amount of foreign substances
in our body.
6. Vansh Parampara Sanskar- The children of parents whose
body is full of foreign matter, also enter foreign matter. According to Dr.
Louis Kunhe, babies are born with foreign substances from their parents. When
the parents are overloaded with foreign substances, the foreign substances are
passed on from generation to generation. When the nature of the parent descends
in the children, the foreign matter of the parent and especially the mother
also descends in the children in the same way. We often see that the diseases
caused by the parents are often the same for the children as well.
Thus, it became clear that the cause of disease is the accumulation of doshas in the body. When foreign substances accumulate in the body system and when fermentation occurs, they spread throughout the body. Due to fermentation, the body becomes unhealthy and this foreign matter is not able to get out of the body through the excretory systems. Now in order to remove that foreign matter, the sole duty of a naturopath or patient should be to create and help that benevolent act of nature only. That is, increasing the vitality by fasting or yuktahar and making them active by completely opening the excretory passages of the body by water therapy, mud bandage, compress, massage, enema etc.
Thus, we see that the state of foreign matter in the body is
a symptom of disease or disease and its absence is health. The theory of
foreign matter tells us that we should not allow foreign matter to accumulate
in our body, always try to keep it out and this can be possible only through
natural life. Because only by adopting natural lifestyle we can remain healthy.
Natural life increases the vitality of our body, this life force is called our
immunity and constantly tries to remove the foreign matter from our body, so we
have to live life according to nature to increase the life force continuously,
only then we It can use foreign matter or you will be free from diseases.
