This article is based on lecture delivered by Prof. S. K. Sharma Khandel as a part of Prof. M.S. Baghel Memorial Lecture Series on 09th February 2021.  

 

This lecture is presentation of discussion sessions with my beloved friend, associate and teacher Prof. M. S. Baghel. 41 years ago, when we first met, he asked me the question about management of infectious diseases in Ayurveda. Since then, we had frequent discussions on this topic. I pay homage to my friend through this lecture. Truly this is based on our frequent discussions so that it will be right to add his name as author. Whole concept and management of infectious diseases and their sources are mentioned in Ayurveda is summed up in a chapter in nutshell  under the title of Krimi.

* Charak or all our ancestors had extra-ordinary capacity of narration in a nutshell. It is like coding. Similar to The Da Vinci code. We need to decode it. As there are many colors but basic colors are 3. All others are a combination of these 3.There are 7 basic tunes from Sa to Ni. All the music arises from it. Only 10 basic numbers from 0 to 9. All numbers come from its permutation & combination. Only 26 alphabets. All the language derived from it.

A. The concept of [[satmya]] and asatmya is important in all diseases. In all the 10 factors like [[dosha]], [[dushya]], [[bala]] etc. [[satmya]] has to be considered. While using potent antibiotics also, we have to consider the [[satmya]] of the patient. If so the efficacy of the antibiotics will also enhance. If the treatment is given after considering the [[satmya]] and asatmya, disease can be cured with minimal medications.

Q. (Ramya Alakkal): Covid has presented with varied clinical symptoms belonging to all systems. What should be given importance while treating, the [[dosha]] or [[dushya]] or roga-marga. How can we understand the severity according to our perspective?

Q. (Dr.Ramya Alakkal): Covid has presented with varied clinical symptoms belonging to all systems. What should be given importance while treating, the [[dosha]] or [[dushya]] or roga-marga. How can we understand the severity according to our perspective?

A. Roga marga or disease pathways are narrated in the light of severity. The disease pathways including vital organs (Marmastasandigata roga marga) are more severe. Uttara [[dhatu]] or gambhira dhatu also means severity. [[Rasa]] the superficial dhatu is 9 anjali in quantity and the deepest [[dhatu]], [[shukra]] is much less in quantity. The [[rasa]] which is in more quantity can dilute the pathogen, but the [[shukra]] cannot do so. The diseases of gut or superficial body constituents (Koshthagata roga or uttara dhatu gata roga ) are easy to treat, but those of deeper tissue (gambhira dhatu gata roga) are always difficult to treat. What proportion of affection of [[dosha]] and how many combinations of [[dosha]] and [[dushya]] are also important while considering the prognosis and treatment? Kaphaja roga are easily curable, vatika roga are difficult to cure and pittaja roga are dangerous as they can spread fast. So, while treating a disease [[dosha]], [[dushya]] and rogamarga are equally important.
