ABSTRACT

Rajayakshma is a group of symptoms manifests by indulging Sahasa (by excessive stress and strain), Vegasandarana (suppressing the natural urges), Kshaya (diminishing of dathu) and Vishamashana (opposite to dietary regimen). It is a Madhyama Rogamarga Vyadhi manifested Shosha. There is the manifestation of Ekadasha Rupa where it affects the Tridosha and Sapta Dhatu. Ayurveda classics emphasis on the nidana and the samprapti as the knowledge of nidana and the samprati is very necessary before understanding chikitsa. Chikitsa is nothing, it is Nidana Parivarjana and Samprapti Vighatana. Aims and Objectives of the paper is to express the basic concept of hetu and samprapti of Rajayakshma w.s.r. to pulmonary tuberculosis to its full perspective. Ayurveda elementary books were thoroughly searched to compile information about Rajayakshma to evaluate the nidana and samprapti of the disease. Rajayakshma is a unique disease and the classification of disease according to the involved nidana is divided as Sahasajanya Rajayakshma, Vega Sandarana janya Rajayakshma, Kshaya janya Rajayakshma, and Vishamashana janya Rajayakshma.
