Tamas mada is an exclusive concept in Ayurveda. Ayurveda has described effects of intoxication due to excessively taken or inappropriately taken madyam (alcohol) or any other intoxicating drug. The state of such intoxication is considered abnormal and demands medical intervention. Ayurveda acharyas have also described the symptoms of such intoxication depending upon the dominance of sattva, rajas and tamas in manas of the intoxicated individual. This helps a vaidya to decide the line of treatment specific to that patient and helps to get that individual out of that state of misery quickly. The symptoms of intoxication in a person having tamas dominance are described by acharya Sushruta as below.<blockquote>अशौचनिद्रामात्सर्यागम्यागमनलोलताः।</blockquote><blockquote>असत्यभाषणं चापि कुर्याद्धि तामसे मदः॥ (Sush Samh 45.209)<ref name=":1">Sushrut Samhita ([http://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/esushruta/?mod=read Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 45 Sutram 209])</ref></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>aśaucanidrāmātsaryāgamyāgamanalolatāḥ।</blockquote><blockquote>asatyabhāṣaṇaṁ cāpi kuryāddhi tāmase madaḥ॥ (Sush Samh 45.209)<ref name=":1" /></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>Meaning: Uncleanliness, sleepiness, jealousy, incest, greed, lying behavior is observed in intoxication in Tamasika individual or in Tamas mada.
