Abstract

Chikungunya is a rare form of viral infection that is transmitted by infected aedes aegypti mosquito. Ancient ayurveda describes a similar condition named Sandhik Sannipatik Jwara (meaning fever of the joints). Hence there are certain medicines in ayurveda that can bring relief to chikungunya. Ayurvedic treatment for this disease primarily aims at controlling the viral infection and reducing the symptoms.
