<big>'''Abstract'''</big>
<div style="text-align:justify;">This chapter on ''jwara'' is specially important from the standpoint of its management. It covers various endogenous and exogenous causes of ''jwara'' with its management principles. It encompasses a wide set of concepts related to diversified pathogenesis of diseases, including variations in ''dosha'' states, their degrees in less or severe form, clinical features and their management. The stages of disease and change in treatments need special attention. The important concept of functional aspects of disease involving psychogenic factors and affliction of unknown factors causing ''jwara'' are described in detail with their psycho-spiritual therapies. Do’s and don’ts during jwara and after its remission are applicable in every disease. The etio-pathogenesis and management of recurrence of ''jwara'' denotes importance of observing prescribed codes even after being free from disease. Due to the cardinal feature of raised body temperature or a perception of it, ''jwara'' is often considered synonymous with fever. However, it is not always necessary to consider ''jwara'' disease as fever, because it covers many other principles of management of disease. Modern medicine literature describes two components of fever, one where the cause or etiology is known and the other where it is unknown and is described as FUO (Fever of Unknown Origin). Thus, there is no curative treatment of FUO is available in modern medicine. On the other hand, this chapter describes important Ayurvedic concepts of ''jwara'' or fever which are important to understand the etiology of fever and thus the management.
'''Keywords''': ''Jwara roga, Santapa, pitta'' fever, ''ushma'', heat regulation.
