ABSTRACT
AIDS is a latest disease/ syndrome, which has no proper treatment as on today. But
Rasayana and Rakta Sodhana Chikitsa from Ayurveda can promise some relief for it. Here we
provide a rational treatment along with the pathophysiology explained in Verses.
INTRODUCTION OF THE DISEASE
AIDS is caused by a human immuno-deficiency virus, till now the cure is positively not avail-
able. In Ayurveda, treatment of this syndrome is possible through Rasayana (Brinhan) and Rakta
Sodhana Chikitsa as the symptoms directs. Mainly three types of HIV varieties are being de-
tected and still some more are coming up rapidly. Ayurveda treat the human body in total as a unit
including Atma, i.e. from inside and outside. In Ayurveda, immunity is described as a Vyadhi
kshamatwam and Vyadhi balavirodhitwam. The Kapha (Bala - strength of the body) includes the
Ojas, which is an essence of all the tissues, intended for the protection of the body. The Ojas is
of two types.
1. Para Ojas and
2. Apara Ojas.
Para Ojas is of 8 drops placed in the heart (Hridaya). The 8 units (Drops) are collected
one drop each from tissues, as essence. The Para Ojas control the Ardhanjali pramana Apara
Ojas. The Apara Ojas have kshaya, vyapati and vibhranshan as the phases of deficiency cause
the illness in the body. Human body has protective cells known as CD-4 helper cells. Its normal
range is 8 hundred -12 hundred /micro liter. If this is lesser than 800 than it can give rise the
immuno deficiency in the body. This can be considered as Ashtavindu Para Ojas. The depleted
Para Ojas disturb the Apara Ojas and give rise Ojas kshayam, in nutshell.

TREATMENT
Till now there are no treatment accept to protect the non infected cells by introducing zidovidine,
AZI, ATC, DPT etc., of aelopathic system. These medicines are very costly and much toxic. Per
month expenditure for treatment is Rs. 20000/=. Result is not curative but only to delay in death.
Loss of immune power is not a big issue, it can seen in case of diabeliease, leprosy and pandu
also, but main problem is that, HIV infected person can infect to others healthy persons by the
mode of infection and infected person have a no ability to discharge his duty. To study the above
situation, ayurvedist duty to search the new medicine for this unmentioned disease. As per folllowing
reference of charak samhita sustra 18/44-47. As per analysis of dosha, dusya, place and nidana
etc., a physician have to be identify the cases and select the tools for treatment.
