Abstract

A unique concept regarding disease caused by unidentified vectors known as Balagraha.It is described in kaumarbhritya which is a branch of Astanga Ayurveda. In today’s era, unfortunately balagraha is abandoned, due to its mythological explanation which kept evidences far away from scientific justification. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to understand balagraha on modern parameters as well as its clinical application in day to day practice. After complete study of the concept of balagraha it is concluded that these unidentified vectors are thought to be microbes,which cannot be seen by naked eyes but produce group of diseases of multi systemic origin and syndromes.
