Wylie	ma zhu
Wylie Definition	= ma zhu ba. Mkhyen-rab/11 no. 16. Kong-sprul/1 30 ff: General symptoms: Flatulence is obstructed or occurs at irregular intervals, causing distension. After a time, it sometimes produces massive diarrhea. Heaviness of the body, loss of appetite, nausea at meal time, belching, headaches. Specific symptoms: Undigested residues (stickiness in the mouth giving off a bad smell). 'Crowding' of the stomach with eructations & vomitting. Eyes, face and the tops of the feet swell up. Undigested chyme (dwangs ma) stagnates and stops the appetite. Belching, leanness, heart pains, pains in the side of the rib cage. The causes and conditions producing ma zhu are easily known by questioning the patient. Old people & others who suffer a decline in their digestive heat get such 'cold' symptoms as distention and eructation as soon as they begin to eat. In cases of occasional ma zhu, the pulse is full and thick. In chronic ma zhu, there is little physical strength and the pulse is thin. If you closely examine the urine, you will find that it smells slightly of whatever food was not digested. When the ma zhu is a result of overeating, it is important to abstain from food. If one eats 'on top of' indigestion then it will be difficult to benefit from medicine. When it is a result of a decline in digestive heat, a warmth-producing medicine is very important.
