''Rajayakshma'' has been identified since Vedic period (2400 BC). ''Yakshma'',the word, first appeared in the vedas (Rigveda and Atharvaveda), but a detailed description was missing. In the Ayurvedic treatises, or the Samhitas (1000 BC to 500 AD), a detailed description of ''rajayakshma'' can be found. An account of its definition, etiology, pathogenesis, general features, management, and the prognosis is found in [[Charak Samhita]], ''Sushruta Samhita'', and ''Ashtanga Hridaya'' with more extensive description is in [[Charak Samhita]]. Four etiological factors are described, ''sahasa'' (over exertion or working beyond one's capacity), ''samdharana'' (suppression of natural urges), ''kshaya'' (depletion of tissue element) and ''vishamashana'' (irregular diet).
