Kaphaja jwara occurs in vasanta and pittaja in sharada (autumn), are known as prakrita (normal) and are easily curable, while vatika jwara in prakrita season (pravrita) is not easily curable. Fever occurs in seasons other than that responsible for vitiation of the concerned dosha is known as “Vaikritua” (unnatural) which is troublesome.<ref> C.Ci. 3/42 </ref>
