ABSTRACT
Udara is mentioned in Ashta mahagada i.e. 8 major illnesses in Ayurveda classics. Agni dushti(vitiation of Agni) by malina ahara (faulty food materials & eating habits), doshasanchay (accumulation of doshas) due to apaka (improper conversion of food) and resultant Udara. So it is considered as kruchrasadhya (difficult to treat). But once the samprapti is visualised considering these 3 factors in mind then it can be treated accordingly. So this paper focusses on approach to Udara chikitsa which is based on visualisation of its samprapti and application of various siddhantas using shamana and shodhana aushadhis.
