CAUSE OF DENGUE FEVER ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA
Dengue fever is an arthropod borne viral disease. Aedes aegypti is the mosquito which carries the virus and releases the virus inside human body through bite. Symptoms associated are headache, fever, body aches, nausea and muscles or joint pains.
From Ayurvedic point of view, dengue fever reflects vitiation of vata and pitta dosha. In general, there are three dosha – vata, pitta and kapha in the body which represents healthy body. So infection begins with the impairment of gastric fire and production of toxins (ama) in body. Due to this there is the vitiation of vata and pitta and symptoms start appearing. Aggravated vata dosha results in the joints and muscles pains, whereas aggravation of pitta dosha leads to hemorrhages.
These are herbs Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia, Spirulina (Spirulina platensis), Wheat grass (Triticum aestivum) and Amla (Emblica officinalis) which help to pacify vata and pitta to control the symptoms related to fever.
