Dr. Rukshana Bibi*, Dr. Santoshi, Dr. Hanika Sharma

ABSTRACT

In the Ayurvedic classics, Kasa is considered as an independent disease. It may also occur as Lakshana (symptom) or Upadarava (complication) in other diseases. It is an example of Pranavaha Srotas Dushti. According to Acharya Charaka, the Moola of Pranavaha Srotas are Hridya (Brain, Heart) and Mahasrotas. Acharyas have described definition, etiological factors, prodromal symptoms, symptoms, types of Kasa along with all Pathya (wholesome) & Apathya (unwholesome) and therapeutic measures. Kasa is manifested with the vitiation of Vata & Kapha. Understanding and differentiating Kasa is important for its effective treatment. The study of Kasa is necessary as it can be associated with many complications if left untreated. In this context different Lakshanas (symptoms) of Kasa explained by Acharyas can be used for diagnosis as well as prognosis of the disease. Thus, with help of this study alternate safe methods of treatment can be employed. So, its identification as Kasa can be a ray of hope for the diagnosis.
