Ayurveda Medicines for Cholera

What is cholera?
Cholera is a contagious disease that causes watery diarrhea that can cause malnutrition and can be fatal if untreated. It occurs due to eating contaminated food and infected water. It is caused by the bacterium called Vibrio cholerae. The causes of cholera are:

  • Water supply from the municipality
  • Eating food from roadside vendors
  • Vegetables that are grown with water which contains human wastes
  • Uncooked or raw chicken or seafood
  • Poor sanitary conditions

The symptoms of cholera are:

  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Dehydration
  • Muscle cramps
  • Low blood pressure
  • Loss of skin elasticity
  • Rapid heart rate

How can Ayurveda Cure Cholera?
Ayurveda believes that diseases such as Cholera are caused due to an entry of an external force in the form of V.cholerae into the body. It causes damage to all the three doshas, which are Pitta, Kapha, and Vata. It uses the Vata as a predominant factor and vitiates the Pitta dosha. It also says that the Pachak Pitta and Saman Vaayu give a response to the organism by dysregulating the Pachak Agni. This then results in the formation of 'Aam' and relocates the doshas also. Ayurveda has suggested using Bolabadhavati to be taken during Cholera. It should be taken once in the morning and evening along with buttermilk.
