Title: Fever – A Mechanical Repair and Maintenance of the Body

Introduction:  In our modern world, fever is often feared and quickly suppressed with medication. However, in the ancient science of Ayurveda, fever is seen quite differently — not as an enemy, but as the body’s natural mechanism for healing and repair. Just as machines need occasional maintenance, our bodies too signal internal imbalance through fever. Understanding this response from an Ayurvedic lens opens the door to deeper healing, long-term immunity, and a harmonious life. 

What is Fever? In Ayurveda, fever is considered the “Lord of all diseases.” It is viewed as a warning signal indicating malfunction within the body's systems or the presence of infections. Fever’s heat is believed to destroy Ojas (the vital essence of life sap), and it afflicts the body, senses, and mind. It is regarded as one of the most powerful conditions because it can lead to death and is also involved during birth.

Types of Fever in Ayurveda:

Ayurveda classifies fever (Jwara) into the following main types:

• Vata

• Pitta

• Kapha

• Vata-Pitta

• Vata-Kapha

• Pitta-Kapha

• Tridosha (Sannipatika - 13 types)

• External causes (5 types)

Both Tridoshic fevers and externally caused fevers can be provoked by one or two predominating doshas, along with the blockage or depletion of Ojas. 

Additionally, there are five varieties of recurring fever (Vishama Jwara), commonly associated with malaria and related conditions.

Causes of Fever:

Fever is often caused by:

• Poor lifestyle habits

• Improper conduct against Ayurvedic principles

• Overuse or misuse of oils

• Inflammation, over-fatigue, or exhaustion

• Wasting and indigestion

• Intake of bad, toxic, or poisonous substances

• Improper diet

• Sudden changes in food or weather

It is often the first warning sign the body gives in response to imbalance or infection. Learn how the buildup of Ama (toxins) in the digestive system can lead to various imbalances and fever.

How Fever Develops (Ayurvedic Perspective):

Fever generally begins in the digestive system, particularly the Amasaya (intestines/stomach). When food enters this region:

1. The respective doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) may become aggravated.

2. These doshas mix with Ama (undigested food toxins).

3. This mixture spreads into the Rasa (plasma), blood, muscles, and sweat channels.

4. It pushes out Agni (digestive fire) from the GI tract.

5. The Agni spreads to body tissues and organs, raising body temperature and suppressing sweat.

In modern science, this process is parallel to the rise in metabolic activity during fever.

Ayurvedic physicians (Vaidyas) diagnose the type of fever based on:

• Nature and symptoms

• Origin and timing

• Doshas involved

• Precipitating factors (internal/external, mental/physical, hot/cold, seasonal/unseasonal)

• Curability

Premonitory Dosha-Specific Symptoms:

1. Constant yawning – Fever due to Vata dosha

2. Burning eyes – Fever due to Pitta dosha

3. Loss of hunger – Fever due to Kapha dosha

4. All the above symptoms – Tridoshic (Sannipata) fever

5. Fever due to microorganisms – Viral or infectious fevers

Ayurvedic Remedies for Fever:

1. Sudarshan Churna

A classical Ayurvedic formulation composed of 48 herbs, primarily Chirayata, effective in intermittent, Tridoshic, and dhatu level fevers.

• Sudarshan Churna taken with cold water is suitable for the early stages of fever.

• Many modern Ayurvedic practitioners find it highly effective in treating malarial and remittent fevers.

2. Sitopaladi Churna

Effective in fevers associated with flu and respiratory disorders.

• The choice between Sudarshan and Sitopaladi Churna may depend on clinical judgment.

• Dosing should be tailored based on the patient’s constitution and fever type.

Conclusion:

In Ayurveda, fever is not merely a symptom to be suppressed, but a natural and intelligent response by the body to restore balance and eliminate toxins. It serves as a mechanical repair mechanism, signaling internal disharmony and guiding one toward healing. By understanding the root causes, dosha imbalances, and proper herbal remedies such as Sudarshan Churna and Sitopaladi Churna, we can address fever holistically, rather than just treating the symptom. With the right diet, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic wisdom, fever becomes a doorway to deeper immunity and rejuvenation.

Lifestyle and Dietary Guidance:

Along with these remedies, individuals should follow correct food habits and lifestyle guidelines tailored to balance their doshas and maintain health.

Sprouted Food shapes our body and mental health.

Introduction: What are sprouted foods are and why do they matter? Sprouted food has been considered the basic source of life and a major source of nutrition for thousands of years. It is also called Amrit Aahar. It is considered a major source of nutrients, having amazing properties and high food and nutritional standards.

Today, people's lifestyle has become completely modern, and most of the food has become devoid of nutrition and unnatural. Most people are becoming dependent on fast food, junk food and street food. Which has brought us to the doorstep of serious health problems and obesity. Medical science believes that the root cause of most diseases is wrong eating habits, lifestyle and thinking. In such a situation, sprouted food can be the right alternative to wrong eating habits.

In diet therapy, sprouted food is considered to be a living food. Since most of the food found in nature is alkaline, sprouted food improves health, purifies the body, and makes it full of disease resistance. For health protection, our diet must contain 20 percent acidic food and 80 percent alkaline food. Sprouted food has such a good effect on the health of our body that nowadays doctors consider sprouted food as medicine and recommend its use.

Sprouted food is the sprouted seeds of cereals or pulses which in the process of germination acquire the properties to preserve and enhance life. Therefore, it is believed that it has the properties to provide new life to a person and improve health.

Consuming sprouted food as a daily diet can balance the proportion of food requirements and can be important in maintaining health.

Everyone can use sprouted food, but initially it should be taken in small quantities and chewed well. Cucumber, tomato, green chilli, black salt, coriander leaves, and lemon can be added to it to enhance the taste. Sprouted food not only has high nutritional value but also costs less. If a sick person consumes it, he gets free from the disease, and if a healthy person consumes it, he protects himself from many diseases, along with health promotion. In this way, the principle of Ayurveda, Swasthya, Swasthya Rakshanam Aturasya Vikaar Prasham, is followed literally.

Especially sunflower, moth, green gram, gram, fenugreek, cowpea, alpha, soybean, wheat, etc., can be sprouted and consumed as per the requirement or as per the doctor's advice. Special care is required while sprouting wheat so that it does not get fungus. Therefore, a glass jar should be used to sprout wheat, and it should definitely be exposed to sunlight in the morning.

Method of preparing sprouted food: Sprouting of moong, gram, dana, fenugreek, and other such seeds can be done very easily with the help of a glass jar or a wet cloth. First of all, the germinating seeds should be washed with water, and the rotten and broken seeds should be removed. After that, they should be put in a jar. It should be filled with four times more water. After soaking it in water overnight, it should be washed with clean water the next morning and tied with a clean cotton cloth. It can also be hung in a suitable place. In summer, cold water should be sprinkled on it many times, so that moisture is maintained. The next day, small sprouts come out in it. Generally, sprouts come out quickly in summer and a little later in winter. In the glass jar, also, cold water should be sprinkled from time to time as needed.

Sprouted food should not be used after being it for a long time. It should be used immediately after germination. Foul-smelling, stale sprouts should not be used. It should be cleaned thoroughly in water before eating.

The seeds selected for use as sprouted food should be fresh, new, clean, healthy, disease-free, and without chemical treatment. Old and diseased seeds do not germinate well and are also not healthy. Therefore, before use, pebbles, stones, soil, etc., should be removed, and then it should be used for germination.

After preparing the sprouts, they should be thoroughly washed and cleaned before use. During the process of germination, some seeds do not germinate and should be selected and removed. Sprouted food should be used raw because eating cooked food reduces its nutrients and nutritional value, so cooking, frying, or baking it is not appropriate from a quality point of view.

Benefits- Sprouted food is natural, fresh, and completely alive food. It is very easily digestible, tasty, nutritious, and reduces obesity. 

After germination, the quantity and availability of vitamin C, iron, vitamin B, phosphorus, and niacin increase. Thus, it is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. The starch found in it is converted into glucose, fructose, and maltose. This not only enhances the taste but also increases its digestibility. It is quickly assimilated by the body and provides instant energy. It is easy to prepare, cheap, and budget-friendly. It is an unadulterated energy-giving food that provides complete rejuvenation.

In today's time, especially women are very worried about their shapely figure, and due to today's modern lifestyle, it is not possible to maintain it. But by taking such sprouted food, their body remains fit and fine. If these are used in breakfast every morning, by including some fresh raw fruits in it, it can also be given the form of a healthy diet. It is also suitable for people addicted to drugs and alcohol. Just as petrol is needed to drive a car, similarly, breakfast is very important to give energy to the body in the morning after sleeping overnight. Most women skip breakfast in the name of dieting, whereas this is completely unhealthy; it only harms the body. It has a complete impact on the fitness and language of the body. 

Conclusion: Sprouted food, fresh raw fruits, almonds, etc., are beneficial in breakfast, as has also been mentioned in Sushruta Samhita-

"Praninaam punarmoolmaahaaro balvarnojasaam cha. Su.Su. 1/36" Food is the basic reason for the survival of living beings, and food is also the reason for the protection or enhancement of strength, complexion, and vitality of the body.

How Food Quality Shapes Human Behavior (Ayurvedic Perspective)

Introduction: In my childhood, I heard from my father," jaisa Ann (food), waisa mann (mind)". means that as we take food, our mind acts accordingly. Later, it was observed to be very true because in Ayurvedic Sciences, it was clearly mentioned that the food develops Ojas, and Ojas is responsible for the act and governs the mind. Now, this is the matter to take serious thought. If food is not as per the rules of nature, then a man can't say himeslef a human being. 

What does it mean to be called a human?

Human: In common meaning, " human" can be suitable as 

H – humble

U – unique

M-  mammals

A – accustomed (to live)

N -  nature 

Yes. The above meaning is absolutely design by the supreme power means GOD and given all the the social behaviour in plenty and make the human as humble to every creatures, unique in making decision and common sense to determine right or wrong, a mammals that can reproduce and nurture their child, also accustomed to live in the Nature and along with the Nature. BUT, a question always sticks in mind whether "HUMAN", a powerful genius created by the Almighty, is really wearing all the characters as explained above. Absolutely, the answer will be NO. Some people may say it is partly okay. 

This is a serious discussion among societies as to why people behave like cruel creatures and destroy nature by misusing their power and potential. Is it correct? Who is permitted for humans to destroy the dwelling of other creatures and demolish the Natural Laws where a food chain and food web are given to behave within limits. This blog does not raise a finger at others, but it is a matter of self-introspection, especially nowadays, where man is leaving their auspeciousity. 

Whether we are taking satvik bhojan (pure food)? No. I will not agree if you say yes, too. Because I have seen the killing of the animal very brutally only just to satisfy the taste upon the tongue, as we know nothing is either tasty or tasteless when food leaves the mouth and moves towards the oesophagus, then the question is whether the brutal killing animal for the food material was necessary? When plenty of other food material is available in Nature. Whether we think a little bit when an animal waiting for its number at a butcher shop to be killed. Think about what would be the stress to an animal and the hormone imbalances in the body. As we know, every creature has common sense to protect itself from hunting, but being kept in closed cages and waiting for the number to be killed was not a joke. Think for yourself if it would be for us? Now, come to the point, the killing and hunting of animals comes under cruelty and against humanity, and the cells of those animals that become meat may react abnormally and alter the gene sequences of the body, resulting in many incurable diseases. Not only the diseases, but also the creation of cruelty and reducing the power of determination of right and wrong in human beings.

The food is the main source to generate the energy in the body. Satvik food (Pure food) generates an auspicious mind and energy to the body, whereas the Astvik food (impure food) generates negative energy to the body. In this, taking food is highly responsible for shaping the behavior in our society. A satvik food eater develops calm behaviour compared to others, whereas an asatvik food eater may develop violence in society. Have you ever seen the digital media's upcoming daily news, and might observe that the criminality growing in society is inhuman behavior.

Conclusion: We should note that if we are not warring with other creatures, in return, the same will come to us sooner or later, and this is happening, so we may think about it multiple times and correct ourselves before the correction takes place by the nature because it may be hazardous one.   

Stay healthy, stay safe...
