Kashikar c12.2 - **Language:** English ### [c12.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c12.2) The later medical works attribute the usual children's diseases ( bālaroga, bālāmaya ) readily to the influence of the mother's milk. Thus except to the diseases of the suckling baby mentioned in § 43 the harmful effect of the mother's milk is divided also according to the principle of tridoṣas. Defective milk causes an inflammation of the eyelids ( kukūṇaka—Suppuration of the membrane of the new-born-Hirschberg ) in which the eye itches and frequently drops water and the child rubs the forehead, eye-borders and the nose, cannot look in the Sun, is not able to open the eyelids. If the child drinks milk of a pregnant mother, it suffers from cough, indigestion, vomiting, faintness, weakness, nausea, giddiness, and swelling of intestines. This is called pārigarbhika or paribhava ( MN 425; AS 2.1.173; Vang 889 ). - [Previous: c12.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c12.1) - [Next: c12.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c12.3) - [Up: c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c12) ## Cites (2) - [Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.vagbhata.astangasamgraha) — Vāgbhaṭa, Sanskrit - [Mādhavanidāna (Rugviniścaya)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.nidana.madhavanidana-2) — Mādhavakara, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c12.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c12.2) · Pramāṇa
