1 Assistant Professor, Department of Agadtantra Avum Vidhivaidyaka, ASPM Ayurved College Hospital and Research centre Buldhana
Janapadodhwansa is a unique concept explained in Ayurveda which literally means the destruction of a large population. Charak has quoted Janapadodhwansa, (mass destruction) & its 4 reasons as dushitavayu (Air), jala(Water), kala(time), desh(region). Sushrut has already mentioned aupsargikarogas (communicable diseases) i.e, kushtha (Skin diseases), jwara (Fever) etc. & their mode of transmission. The root cause for these diseases is said to be Adharma due to prajnaparada. The low socioeconomic status, population explosion, poor hygiene also act as contributory factors. Prevention as well as cure of disease is goal of Ayurveda. Its prime focus on enhancing the immunity of a person. Accordingly, this is achieved by the proper administration of Shodhana and Shamana karma at the proper time. Through maintainance of Dincharaya, Rutucharya, Sadvritta, persons physical and mental health is secured.
