Caused by an alpha virus, Chikungunya, also known as Chicken Guinea, is a viral infection. The symptoms of this highly infective and disabling virus include a high fever, chills, rash, fatigue, severe headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle pain and joint pain.

This is a deadly virus spread through mosquitoes and when it attacks a person his/her joints become swollen and painful to touch. Symptoms usually last from 3 to 14 days. More complications have seen in the cases of children, pregnant women and persons under stress. Ayurveda treatment is the best possible way to cure such disease, because it involves natural remedies which are free from any side effects and are remarkable since ages.

The main motive of Ayurveda is to control the viral infection, treating or reducing symptoms and preventing complications of Chikungunya. The natural treatment of Ayurveda involves the use of various natural remedies like Bhumiamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia), Yashtimadhuk (Glycerrhiza glabra), Haridra (Curcuma longa), Bhrungraj (Eclipta alba), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Pippali (Piper longum) and Kutki (Picrorrhiza kurroa).

The first thing to do when you observe symptoms of Chikungunya, is to run to the doctor and confirm the diagnosis of Chikungunya by using laboratory tests, since the clinical appearance of both Chikungunya and Dengue fever is similar.
