Ś (शतार�):—One of the eighteen types of Kuṣṭha (“skin disease�), according to the Caraka-saṃhitā (쾱ٲٳԲ), which is an important Sanskrit work dealing with Āyurveda. This condition of the skin (ṣṭ) is caused by the corruption of the three doṣas (tridoṣa: ٲ, pitta and kapha) which in turn corrupts the skin, blood, muscle and lymph. Ś-ṣṭ is characterized by many lesions which are red and black, and are burning and painful. Ś is caused by a preponderance of Pitta-doṣa (‘bodily bile�) and Kapha-doṣa (‘bodily phlegm�).
