Ayurvedic Overview of Chlamydia Trachomatis
In Ayurveda all the diseases which are transmitted from one person to another by any means such as chlamydia trachomatis, gonorrhoea, syphilis, conjunctivitis etc. are kept under “Agantuja Vyadhi ”. Agantuja vyadhi can be caused due to any factor such as- air, water, bacteria, virus, injury, weapons, clothes, poison, toxins etc. Hence we can say that Agantuja vyadhi can be correlated with communicable diseases. In this condition according to ayurveda concepts there will be vitiation of all three doshas vatta, pitta & kapha (kinetic , thermal, potential energy). Out of these three doshas vatta and pitta will be the main two which will be more vitiated and will result in symptoms like pain, purulent discharge, inflammation, burning sensation etc. Hence the treatment approach of ayurveda will be vatta and pitta shamak (vatta and pitta pacification) along with this we have to use some herbs which will be antibacterial so that we can reduce the infection side by side.
