Ojo Nirodhaja Jwara is a particular sort of Jwara – fever defined by Acharya Sushruta. He has defined this within the context of Sannipata Jwara – fevers brought on by simultaneous aggravation of all three doshas. From Sushruta’s description we additionally be taught that Ojo Nirodhaja Jwara is a variant of Sannipataja i.e. it’s also brought on by simultaneous aggravation of all three doshas. Regardless of that, the scientific image is dominated by aggravated pitta and vata. These two doshas trigger extreme destruction and depletion of ojas – the essence of all of the tissues and the fever and signs are consequently manifested.
