Malaria is a mosquito-borne infection caused by plasmodium parasites. In Ayurveda, it is known as “Visham Jvara” and is believed to cause an imbalance in the “Tridoshas” – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. It is named so because of its irregular onset (Vishama arambha) and remission (Visarga). Ayurvedic treatment for malaria focuses on ways to build immunity so that even if you come in contact with the infection, your body can fight it off. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and detoxification therapies are recommended to restore the body’s natural balance and promote overall well-being.In this blog as we will delve into Ayurveda’s holistic approach to malaria prevention, empowering you with natural solutions to combat this life-threatening disease.
Understanding Malaria
There are five types of plasmodium that cause malaria in humans. When an infected anopheles mosquito bites a human, the parasite enters the blood stream, reaches the liver, multiplies there and then destroys RBCs. Early symptoms include fever, general weakness, chills and headache. The symptoms usually last for 6-8 hours and recur every second or third day. Some people might have no symptoms at all. In severe cases it may even cause death.
