Dr. Varsha Deshmukh* and Dr. Rahul Pawade
ABSTRACT
The only text book on Kaumarbhritya, Kashyap Samhita, is given as collections of Acharya Kashyap's teachings by his disciple Vriddha Jivaka. The Kashyapa Samhita provides a detailed explanation of all the aspects of childhood, including pathology, physiology, and the treatment of childhood diseases. The Kashyap Samhita is organized into various sections (Sthana), and Vedanadhyaya serves as the 25th Chapter of Sutrasthana. Vedanadhyaya details the manifestations of 30 illnesses in children and aids in the assessment and diagnosis of paediatric conditions, as children may have difficulty articulating their symptoms. The chapter Vedana Adhyaay is quite distinctive as it details the process of evaluating various issues that newborns or infants may experience but are unable to communicate their pain or illness. The physician can use vedana adhyay to facilitate early and precise diagnosis. Vedana Adhyay describes how a child may present with common new born baby issues like constipation, pain, diarrhoea, ear pain, eye disorders, infectious disorders, etc.
