In Ayurveda, Chicken Pox is known as Laghu Masurika. It is medically known as Vericella. It is a highly contagious disease and mostly attacks children between the age group of one to ten years and some times affect adults. It is a viral disease and even after the disease has been cured the virus remains hidden in the body and may attack again later. It is often mistaken as small pox but it is a different disease and less severe.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS

It is mainly caused by a virus called varicella-zoster virus. Local skin infection due to over growth of other bacteria, sensitive skin, prolonged illness, poor immunity, use of a strong soap and taking a long bubble bath may also be one of the causes of chicken pox. People who are in contact with the chicken pox patients have a high chance of getting the disease.
The disease starts with slight fever and pain in the back and legs. The person has a runny or stuffy nose and a burning sensation in the eyes which become red in color and water. There may also be a feeling of chill. Within twenty four hours of these symptoms small red papules appear on the back, arms, legs and chest. Sometimes these papules may also arise on the fore head. These papules turn into vesicles but these dry up within a day or two and a crust brown in color appear on them. These eruptions last several days.
According to ayurveda, chicken pox is caused due to the vitiation of all the doshas – vata dosha, pitta dosha and kapha dosha.
