Inflammation and Fever:
Inflammation is one of the natural responses of the body’s immune system. In case of an infection or a wound, the body responds by causing inflammation. This is part of the immune system’s working. Inflammation starts out as irritation with redness and swelling. It can then lead to pus, in case of an infection. Once the infected or damaged cells die and are removed, the process of new cell growth commences. Cold and fever are also natural immune responses. Runny nose, and sneezing are the body’s ways to expel an allergen or pathogen from the body. Fever is the body’s response to infections where the body temperature is increased to fight problems.
Causes of inflammation and fever
Bacterial or viral infections, injuries like cuts or scratches, appendicitis, sinusitis, meningitis, sore throat, extreme exercise, or trauma can cause acute inflammation. Chronic inflammation occurs due to pathogens that remain in the body for a long time. This is commonly caused by asthma, ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, and hepatitis.
Fever is usually caused by infections. It may be viral or bacterial infections in the throat, ears, nose, or stomach that lead to fever. In order to fight the infection, the body releases pyrogens. They increase body temperature to fight the pathogens. This leads to an increase in body temperature and a general feeling of malaise.
Ayurveda’s view of inflammation and fever
Ayurveda uses the concept of doshas to explain disease and health conditions. The three doshas of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha need to be in balance. Imbalance in one or more of the doshas can cause health problems and diseases. Ayurveda gives a lot of importance to food and digestion. Agni is the metabolic fire that ensures digestion.
Due to improper digestion, toxins build up in the body. Toxins are referred to as ama in Ayurveda. Ama can weaken the immune system. This weakens the body’s natural fight against infections and other problems. This can lead to an increase in fever, inflammation, cough, cold, and other problems.
Agni creates ojas that helps in providing strength to the body and makes us immune. Problems like stress, pollution, improper diet, lifestyle problems, indulging in excessive consumption of stimulants can affect ojas. This weakens the immune system increasing susceptibility to infections and disease.
Improper digestion leads to pachaka pitta (a form of pitta dosha) mixing with ama and moving out of the stomach. This clogs up tissues and causes heating. This leads to inflammation, fever, and other problems.
Fever can be in the form of kapha fever that is caused by cold weather and food. Lethargy and improper lifestyle can disturb kapha and this affects the digestive system causing ama to build up. Kapha fever leads to cold, chills, fever, and congestion.
Pitta fever is caused by heat, like in the summer or due to hot food. It can lead to inflammation, headache, nausea, and diarrhea.
Vata fever occurs due to stress, dry food, windy weather and frequent lifestyle changes. Fever, body ache, muscle pain, shivering, and constipation are common symptoms of vata fever.
As per Ayurvedic principles, digestion plays an important role in ensuring good health. Proper diet and eating right helps in effective digestion. This prevents toxins from being formed. It helps keep the immune system strengthened.
Some of the guidelines recommended by Ayurveda for digestive health are:
