Malaria
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite, Plasmodium, which infects red blood cells. After a bite from an infected Anopheles mosquito, the parasite enters the person's bloodstream and quick multiplication of parasites results in destruction of red blood cells. The chief symptoms of Malaria are fever, shaking chills, headaches, tiredness, and nausea.
In Ayurveda, Malaria is termed as Visham Jwara or Bhutabhishang, which means, a viral flu that is caused by an external viral agent (such as a Mosquito). Malaria can be caused by the aggravation of all three doshas (Ayurvedic humors), with Pitta (Fire) being the prime dosha.
Dengue
Dengue fever, a very common disease in tropical and subtropical areas of the world, is caused when a mosquito carrying dengue fever virus bites a healthy human. The virus then travels in the blood stream and starts multiplying itself in the whole body, causing fever. Chief symptoms of Dengue include chills, headaches, rashes, nausea, and loss of appetite.
According to Ayurveda, in cases of dengue, virus infestation throws Pitta out of balance, leading to destruction of platelets. This reduction in platelet count in the blood can often lead to dangerous consequences if not checked in time.
Swine Flu
Swine influenza (also known as Swine Flu) is a respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses that usually infect the respiratory tract of pigs. These viruses have the capacity to mutate, and are therefore easily transmissible among humans. In humans, they cause symptoms such as cough, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhoea, and body aches.
In Ayurvedic medicinal system, Swine Flu is referred to as Vata Kaphaj Jwara, which is caused by the aggravation of Vata (Air) and Kapha (Water). It attacks the respiratory system, blocking the air passage channels and leading to associated symptoms like cough, nausea, body aches, etc.
