Abstract

Health is a state of equilibrium of the Dosha, Dhatu, Mala and Atma, Indriya (panchagyanindrya and panchkarmendriya) and Mana.[1] To treat the disease it is necessary to keep balance between the Doshas and to bring back them into their normal condition. Ayurveda had described various tools to diagnose various diseases one of them is Roga and Rogi Pariksha. For Rogi Pariksha there are various parikshas that are described like “Dwividha Pariksha, Trividh Pariksha, Chaturvidha Pariksha, Shadvidha Pariksha, Asthavidha Pariksha and Dashavidh Pariksha.[2] Ashtawiddha pariksha is the most significant pariksha among all.[3] Vishamajwara is characterised by Vishamarambha (irregular onset) Vishama Kriya (alternative feeling of hot and cold) and Vishamakala (irregular duration of sufferings) of Jwara.[7] Further in this article we are going to study the conceptual review of Asthvidha pariksha w.s.r to Visham Jwara.
