Role of environmental pollution in epidemics and its management in Ayurveda
Abstract
Ayurveda is a holistic healthcare approach that deals with changing one's lifestyle as well as treating and preventing disease. In the Ayurvedic system, epidemics are referred to as Janopadodhwansa and are caused by a vitiated Vayu-Jala-Bhumi-Kala. Polluted soil, water, and air are the cause of numerous ailments. Additionally, determine if there is any connection between Charakokta Janopadodhwansa and the current epidemics. Detoxification measures (Shodhan Chikitsa), Rasayan Chikitsa, and lifestyle modification are a few strategies that can be used to control epidemic diseases and so restore health.
