An Overview of Phiranga in Ayurveda
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Phiranga roga is considered analogous with syphilis. This disease is believed to have high incidence among Phirangi and spread to others through their contact especially sexual contact. Hence it is named as phiranga. No direct description of phiranga roga is available in Bruhat trayee. Bhavamishra was the first Ayurveda physician to document this disease phiranga in 16th century. He has documented the details of this disease in his book Bhavaprakasha. Phiranga is classified based on the manifestation. The classification of phiranga can be understood as different stages of syphilis. Hence, here an attempt is made to understand different aspects of phiranga roga.
