Abstract

Ayurveda is a science of life which deals with preservation of health and cure of disease. Good health is best achieved when the regimens told in Ayurveda are promptly followed. In this science treatment is branched into two wings namely; Shodhana Chikitsa (detoxification therapy) and Shamana Chikitsa (curative therapy). Shamana therapy includes Deepana (appetizer), Pachana (digestive) etc. and Shodhana therapy is best for uprooting the disease from the root itself. This Principle also holds good for a child and irrespective of the age as basic constituents of the body are same in all age group as explained by Charaka, though the Mātra of the same and medicine may varies. Routinely raised question of benefits and contraindications of Panchakarma are needed to be answered. Dosha Prakopa occur in child and adult body due to same causative factor along with extra risk in the baby due to mother breast milk vitiation, immaturity etc. At times Kaśhyapa advice to avoid excess Śhodhana procedures in a child while Chakrapani suggest to administer the same in Swatantra Bāla, and to avoid in Paratantra Bāla. The proper knowledge of Dravya Matra and therapeutic Panchakarma procedures will help to approach in strengthing immune system and healthy body in child.
