Pittaj seizures (caused mainly by vitiated Pitta) cause yellowish or reddish tint on the body, lot of sweating, the foam coming from mouth is also yellowish, patients experience hotness in body and severe thirst after the seizure. Kaphaj seizures (caused mainly by vitiated Kapha) last for a relatively long time, the foam is whitish in colour while patient experiences heaviness in the body. Sannipatik seizures are caused by vitiation of all three Doshas and therefore have mixed characteristics.

Asmar denotes epilepsy, that usually persists in the majority of patients with mental debility and disability, in spite of multidrug therapy with advanced anti-epileptics.

Thus this adjunction seems a boon in epilepsy management.
