"Those born from phlegm have their origin in the consumption of milk, jaggery, sesame, fish, meat of marshy animals, flour preparations, milk-rice pudding, safflower oil, unwholesome, putrid, moist, mixed, incompatible, and unaccustomed food; their location is the stomach, and as they grow, they spread upward, downward, or in both directions. Their distinctions of form and color are: some are white, broad, and shaped like straps; some are circular in girth, shaped like earthworms, white, and coppery in appearance; some are minute, long, shaped like threads, and white. The names of these three types of worms caused by phlegm are: antrāda, udarāda, hṛdayacara, curu, darbhapuṣpa, saugandhika, and mahāguda. Their effects are nausea, salivation, anorexia, indigestion, fever, fainting, yawning, sneezing, distension of the abdomen, body aches, vomiting, emaciation, and roughness of the skin."
