Ayurvedic View of Management of Atisara and Krimiroga in Children
Abstract
This article discusses two significant Ayurvedic pediatric health conditions; Atisara and Krimi Roga which referrers to diarrheal sickness and worm infestations respectively. The word "Krimi" has been used since the Vedic era to refer to all worms and microorganisms, which are generally divided into two categories Bahya (external) and Abhyantara (interior). The internal category is further subdivided into Raktaja, Kaphaja, and Purisaja. Nidana Parivarjana, Prakriti Vighata and Apakarshana are major Ayurvedic approaches used to treat Krimi Roga in children.
In a similar way, Atisara, which is characterized by excessive flow of watery stool is considered as major source of morbidity and mortality in children especially in underdeveloped nations. Mandagni produces Ama Dosha and vitiates the Annavaha, Udakvaha and Malavaha Srotas, these pathological events are considered as main cause of Atisara. Pachana, Grahi and Deepana formulations are the main focus of management. This article discusses Ayurvedic view of treating Atisara and Krimiroga in children.
