Ayurvedic Perspective of Fever in Children
Dr. Aruna Kumari Sangwan
Abstract: Fever is the primary and most common symptom of many diseases. Fever is more common in children and it often occurs as the first clinical indication of many illnesses. Fever is referred to as Jwara in the Indian traditional medical system, Ayurveda, and is considered a distinct and major illness entity. Ayurveda describes a wide range of clinical variations of Jwara, which are detailed in this manuscript. To prepare this manuscript, several research articles were reviewed. Different types of Jwara in children are described in detail in Ayurveda, particularly in the Kashyapa Samhita. All types of Jwara are explained in a very scientific way and are useful in the diagnosis of newer pediatric febrile disorders. Content of this article is an attempt to draw attention to the various types of Jwara in children and to improve the validity of Ayurvedic diagnostic terms in current paediatrics practice and to enhance child care.
