ABSTRACT
Ayurveda is the life science and an ancient system of medicine. The main
purpose of it is to maintain the health of healthy individuals and cure the
disease of diseased one. To fulfil both these purpose bheshaja is mainly
divided in two types. To maintain the health of healthy person
Swasthasyorjaskara Bheshaja is given which includes Rasayana and
Vajikarana a chikistha and to cure the disease of sick person Artasya roganuta
bheshaja is given which include the other disease and its treatment. A disease
produced due to specific infectious agent or its toxic products, capable of being
directly or indirectly spread from man to man, animal to animal or
environment to man or animals. Ayurveda has described a larger number of
Rasayana, which can provide protection against toxic substances and diseases.
They promote physical health, improve the status of the Dhatu (tissue), confer
immunity and rejuvenate the system. Concept of Naimittika rasayana is a
unique concept in Ayurveda, proved for its beneficial role in the patients
suffering from communicable disease in promoting vitality, and ability to
withstand the devastating effects of these diseases. This concept brings a new
dimension into the health-care, and promotes an integrated approach between
different modalities in the field of public health. The paper will discuss about
the approach in the management of communicable disease through rasayana
therapy with appropriate examples.
