Abstract

Ayurveda has placed Kaumarbhritya under the Ashtang Ayurveda. Many diseases in childhood, can be treated properly through Ayurveda. In Kashyapa Samhita details are given about Vedana Adhyaya which provide an information to the physician, to help in early and accurate diagnosis even in modern era. In paediatric patients, Panchakarma procedures are equally effective, but in present situation, there is difficulty in administering Panchakarma in children because of lack of knowledge of the doses, methodology and complications, by taking references from Ayurvedic texts and other study material we can use Panchakarma procedure and other concepts of Ayurveda to prevent and to treat many diseases in children without any adverse effect. We can prevent and treat many diseases of children in modern era by using Rasayana Chikitsa, Vedana Adhyaya, Dhoopana vidhi, Suvarna prashana.

Keywords: Rasayana, Vedana Adhyaya, Suvarna prashana, Panchakarma.
