In Ayurveda, Typhoid fever is correlated to "Sannipataj jwara" or "Santata Jwara", a type of Vishama jwara, as described by Acharya Charaka. This fever is characterized by:
- Rapid onset and progression
- Widespread imbalance in the body's blood vessels (rasavaha srotas)
- Stiffness in the body
- High mortality rate if left untreated or if treatment is delayed
The condition is considered incurable (asadhya) if the doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) involved in Sannipataj jwara are similar in property to the:
- Season (kaala)
- Dhatus (body tissues)
- Physical constitution (Prakruti) of the person
However, if the dhatus and waste products (urine, stool, flatus) are purified, the fever may subside on the 7th, 10th, or 12th day. Partial purification of dhatus can still lead to mortality.
Therefore, Ayurvedic treatment and dietetics focus on purifying the dhatus and malas (excretory system) to manage Sannipataj jwara and prevent complications. This highlights the importance of timely and appropriate treatment in Ayurveda.
