Local and systemic symptoms
by Dr. SavithaSuri
Local symptoms
- Pricking sensation
- Edema
- Pain
- Feeling of constriction
- A sensation of ant creeping
- Many small eruptions gathering in a small area
- These eruptions or blisters burst soon with exudates
- These blisters will have different colors according to involvement of doshas. (Blackish red or blue in vata, red, yellow, copper colored in pitta, shades of white in kapha).
The weakened body immune system tries to resist the virus invasion but fails to achieve the goal. In this futile attempt the following systemic symptoms are exhibited.
Systemic symptoms
- Fever
- Weakness
- Indigestion
- Impaired bowels
- Increased frequency of urination
- Body pain
- Increased thirst
Imbalanced vata causes the symptoms like pain, swelling and body ache
The imbalanced pitta and vitiated blood and skin cause
- Blisters
- Change the color of skin
- Cause burning sensation, and fever
The imbalanced kapha and vitiated lymph cause itching, tingling sensation.
After the first attack the virus moves from skin through the nerve paths to base of the nerve and becomes inactive. Now the herpes infected person will be devoid of all symptoms. But the imbalance of doshas still persists.
