Abstract

Health is never an issue until someone gets sick; it is the reality in current situation. Because of improper diet, lack of exercise, stress, low quality of food grains & global warming overall health status of individuals is poor & they are getting easily prone to communicable diseases. H1N1 influenza, Ebola is the recent examples. They are big challenges & creating a burden over health care system. Ayurveda though an ancient medical science has clearly described such communicable diseases & their cause, mode of transmission, prevention as well as cure. Charak has quoted Janapadodhwansa, (mass destruction) & its 4 reasons as Dushitavayu (Air), Jala (Water), Kala (time), Desh (region). Sushrut has already mentioned Aupsargikarogas (communicable diseases) i.e., Kushtha (Skin diseases), Jwara (Fever) etc. & their mode of transmission. Prevention as well as cure of disease is goal of Ayurveda. Through maintenance of Dincharaya, Rutucharya, Sadvritta, person’s physical and mental health is secured.
