77. Vayu/Kapha body paralysis (Dandaka): When Vayu is excessed and both the dosha Vayu and Kapha start to overflow into to entire body’s channel filled with undigested food toxins (ama), it makes the body stiff (like a wood log) with paralysis. The major symptom of this is jaw bone paralysis impossible to treat fully. 

8. Tetanus (Dhanustambha): Innner bending the bow and outer bending bow, both are caused by elevated Vayu that affects nerves and tendons, located in the toes, heels, abdomen, heart area, chest, and throat and causes severe convulsion moments.

9. Tarauma (Hemorrhage (Vranayama): When the doshas become aggravated in wounds on vital organs by Vayu, they spread throughout the body and produce convulsions. The major symptom of this disease is yellowish—white complexion. This is a very serious condition. 

10. Tongue difficulties (Jihva Stambha): When Vayu is caught in the tendons, nerves, and veins near the vocal cord, it causes paralysis of the tongue with the consequent inability to swallow and speak 

11. Lockjaw (Hanusramsa): Loose jaw or lockjaw. Owing to excess tongue scrapping, eating dry foods, and trauma, Vayu becomes localized and excessed at the lower jaw. This displaces the lower jaw, making it stay open or closed, causing chewing and speaking difficulties. Healing is very difficult. Long-term conditions are incurable.

12. Facial paralysis(audit): Vayu becomes excessed and localized in the upper body from carrying heavy loads on the head, excess laughing, speaking, facial exertion (eg. mimicking), sneezing, physical strains, sleeping on an uneven or hard pillow, and chewing very hard foods. Symptoms include irregularities of half of the face (especially during laughing and with sight), and the head begins to shake. Premonitory symptoms include speech obstructions, loss of eye movement, tremors, shaking, hoarseness, deafness, blocked sneezing, loss of smell and memory delusions, exhaustion during sleep, one eye becoming closed, severe pain above the shoulders, half of the body or in the lower body. When this disorder exists for more than three years, it becomes incurable. 

13. Convulsions in blood and veins (Sirgraha): Vayu becomes excess in the blood and veins of the head, causing them to shrink, and become hard, painful, and black. This disorder is difficult to heal or may not be healed. 

14. Hemiplegia – half of the body veins and tendons (Pakshavadha OR Ekangaroga): When Vayu becomes excessed in half of the body, drying the veins and tendons by loosening the joints the result is loss of the function and tactile sensation. Apart from that the Vayu, pitta, and Kapha, doshas are responsible for causing many such incurable diseases if left untreated these are Arm paralysis, leg paralysis, stiffness in thighs, knee swelling, ankle pain, finger/toe contractions, foot sleeping, burning sole, stammering, cutting pain in rectum, bladder, lower abdomen distension, upper abdominal distention, prostrate tumors (painless or painful), and tremors. Now dear readers you will be able to know how the convulsion is dangerous and many times not curable too. So, if the production of Vayu is more in our body, we have to be very conscious to take treatment.
