ABSTRACT
Diet in Ayurveda has also been described as one of the important
factor for therapeutic measure for a number of diseases in the form of
pathya. In Ayurveda the description of different malnutrition disease
is under varied headings. A few of the condition which can be
grouped under these headings are krishta (leaness), phakka roga
(rundown condition of body), balasosha (PEM), parigarbhika. So the
principles of treatment and dietary modifications vary according to
the disease. Malnourishment disorders in modern science are
described on the basis of deficiency of any particular nutrient and the
symptoms that arise due to the deficiency. The clinical presentation
of malnutrition depends on the type of nutrient involved in the
pathology of disease and management is done by providing the same
nutrient to the child. The principles of dietary management in
Ayurveda are based on individual status of dosha, agni and vaya,
hence are more adaptive and rewarding.
